This came all smooshed, so I was worried it wouldn't be comfy for our kitten that loves covered beds. However it plumped right up and with a couple of spritzes of cat nip spray, it was occupied. The inside pillow is removable and reversible, and the entire structure is very padded and sort. The bottom is non-slip so it won't go careening off the stairs. Great purchase and great value for the price.
