Fluffy
Color: Beige, Size: 35" x 23"x 3.5", Color: Beige, Size: 35" x 23"x 3.5"
I purchased the 35x23” in beige. I know this is a dog bed, but I am using it as a comfy mat in my prayer room. It’s nice and soft and fits right where I needed it. Perfect for when I get on my knees to pray at the cross.

Perfect fit in my dog crate, nice loft to it
Color: Grey, Size: 35" x 23"x 3.5"
Really nice dog bed, fits perfectly in the crate that I have. This thing is rather large and bulky and difficult to wash. I wish that there was a zipper on it and that you could remove the stuffing so that you can wash just the cover. Before putting it inside the dog crate, I had it on my couch. My daughter thought it was a new pillow for her to use and was bummed when I told her it was for the dogs. She liked it and thought it was quite comfortable.

So soft, nice padding, & color perfect for a dog’s bed
Color: Beige, Size: 41" x 27"x 4", Color: Beige, Size: 41" x 27"x 4"
Of course, this dog bed came lumpy, but once you roll it out and manipulate it it lays perfect. My dog Loki outgrew the little one that we had but this one is perfect. He’s 55 pounds and I would say it’s even a little bit big for him. We will definitely keep it though. It’s so soft and pretty and Loki will not leave it so it’s a win-win.

Great Pet Beds!
Color: Grey, Size: 41" x 27"x 4"
These dog beds are wonderful! I have two large dogs (65-70 lbs) who lay on them daily. They’ve maintained their shape and thickness. The size is perfect, and they’re easy to spot clean. I definitely recommend them, especially if using in a carpeted room. Great value!
