Our Lab Tim is 9 and he is 75lbs, his bones are aching and he could not sleep. He had to move all the time, to try to make him comfortable and then move again because of the pressure on the joints that gave him so much pain. And when I saw this dog bed I thought it was a pricy decor rug in the house of the friend of mine, and I saw his elderly dog climb on it and look very very comfortable. She owns it for some time and she did recommend me this bed that I am happy with. Now our Tim sleeps like a baby, I see that he loves his bed and never sleeps elsewhere. The bed is washable and accident resistant so I don’t have any troubles cleaning it.
