I was very impressed by the Casper dog mattress and my boyfriend and I debated the purchase for some time. After our little buddy tore apart his current (cheap) bed, we decided to take the leap. We're both impressed with the overall size, color and general construction of the mattress - seems comfy, is compact, cute, and durable. Our dog, Schooner (dachshund mix), isn't quite sold yet after the first few weeks - I think he might have liked the freebie toy more than the mattress itself. I'm going to give it some time and general encouragement and see how it goes. I'm fairly confident he won't be able to destroy it, so that's a bonus in and of itself. Not sure how helpful this is, but there you have it!
