The bed is very rugged and should last a long time. I also found it easy to fluff up so the dogs could have their own little sweet spot to lay. The only thing that was hard to figure was which size to buy. I have 2 Westies. The male is 21 lbs and the female is only 17 lbs. I went with the medium for the male and small for the female. They work but next time I would go medium for both.
