Maggie was due for a new bed and will really enjoy this one! She is a standard size boxer and weighs about 70 lbs. We went with the “jumbo plus” size in gray. The covering material feels similar to felt. It may feel a bit warm during the warmer summer months as she initially seemed a little iffy about laying on it directly but seemed to like it more when we covered it with a cool sheet. The foam insert is firm but molds to form. Maggie is enjoying the raised ends and having a pillow to rest her head when watching over her family.
