My dog is 10 years old and she loves, loves, loves this dog mat. She prefers it to the furniture!  It is very soft and light and easy to move to wherever you need it. I put it on our bed at night and she will sleep on it instead of on us or diving under the covers! This may not have a wow factor to look at but that is not what it is for. 
My husband and I are retired veterinarians and have purchased lots of dog beds/mats over the years and this is one of the best. It is very soft and light, but somewhat supportive for her aging body. I would definitely recommend this mat.
