My dog loves his new bed. At 7 inches off the ground, he feels like a king. He loves the built in pillow on one end to recline against. The foam material is fairly solid with just enough give for him to get really comfortable. He's a big guy (at 100lbs) and likes to paw, but the material is holding up very well, especially with 2 of them playing on it. It was pretty amazing to see it puff up when I unwrapped it, which took about a day.
