I got this bed because my dog has arthritis and she had been getting very stiff every time she was getting out of her old bed or the couch, also she has been recovering from an opp so that didn’t help, anyway I checked out a lot of beds but I’m so glad I got this one!! Honest opinion here! My dog loves this bed! She doesn’t even want to be on the couch anymore! And she doesn’t limp or look stiff at all after lying down, if my dog is happy I’m happy! Definitely recommend this bed
