Highlighted Reviews
"When we recieved this it was packaged so tight it was kinda flat but after a few hours it was a perfectly soft plush pillow. I have yet to notice any denting either. My fur kids love them!"
"This bed is extremely hard and very uncomfortable. Whatever side, my dog lays on pushes down and stays there. I have to unzip it and try to move the insides around and to get it to even back out. This is very difficult as it is hard and dense. I would not recommend and I’m sorry I purchased."
