Waterproof.  Washable.  Comfy for my older dog and our younger one likes it too.  I would recommend this bed, as it withstands the abuse our two large, run-around-our-farm-property put to it.  I would recommend this bed.  The only thing that is a downside, is if it is where you need to walk.  You cannot step on it, without taking a header.  It is a puffy, airy piece that will throw you. Just make sure that you can put this bed out of the way of human traffic.
