Chester Large Dog Bed - Orthopedic Memory Foam Mattress, Calming Couch, Wall Rim Pillow, Water Resistant, Washable Cover, Non-Slip, Cocoa Brown

This is a great dog bed. I’ve bought 3 of them over the years. This one is XL 44x34 Chester Khaki. The bed arrives with the bolsters installed and the foam vacuum packed. Once opened, the foam expands very quickly to the size advertised. It does have a bit of a smell, but after letting it air out it is fine. It easily fit into the water resistant liner and then into the base of the bed. The material is soft and sturdy and I love the color. All the seams and zippers are good, and the bed is heavy enough not to slide around. We put this bed in our living room and the dogs took to it immediately and are very comfortable in it. We have 2 other beds of this same brand in our bedroom and they are now 5 years old and still in excellent condition despite washing the covers numerous times. Reinserting the foam and the bolsters after washing the cover is fairly easy, especially after you’ve done it once. These beds really are great and worth spending a little extra to get something that is both comfortable and durable.

Through the years we have had a number of wonderful dogs and always treated them like they were family. That meant getting a great bed for them to lounge and sleep in. So we have had quite a bit of experience with dog beds. When the time came to replace our 75 lb. Bernedoodles bed, we spent time looking through the different offerings from Amazon. They range from the lower priced ones all the way up to some pretty pricey ones. We decided on this one as it was mid-range in price and had all the characteristics we were looking for. This could be the best dog bed we ever purchased. The base layer is a thick pad of memory foam which provides great support, much more than with less expensive foams. The bolsters are an important feature for our dog as she loves to lay in the bed and hang her head over the bolsters. These bolsters have lots of filling and provides her with a soft but supportive place to rest her head. The fabric seems to be of excellent quality and hopefully will hold up to our girls occasional scratching at the "ground". Another positive is that the cover unzips and can be machine washed. There are quality separate zippers to get the memory foam pad and the bolsters out of the cover as the padding does not get washed. There is also a waterproof cover over the memory foam, so keeping this bed clean and sanitary should be a breeze.Overall a very well made bed at a reasonable (not the cheapest) price that we know our dog will enjoy.

This is a very nice, well-constructed dog bed using high-quality material. I received it only a week ago, but I think it was definitely worth the price. This one was bought for my 75 lb. 9 year-old Labrador Retriever who seemed to be having trouble getting comfortable on or getting up from her old bed. I ordered the 44" X 34" size and she has more than enough room to stretch out and get comfortable. The size stated in the Amazon listing is at least the real size of the bed. Some other beds seem to be smaller than they claim. There is probably enough room for her and my 50 lb. Foxhound to share this bed, but I will probably get him his own new bed. The pad is comfortably thick and dense and does not flatten out when either of the dogs lay on it. The mattress cover is a smooth sateen-like material which would probably be very comfortable in the summer months. If there is anything that I could change, it would be that the mattress cover was a darker color. Not a big deal though. I'm wrapping a fleece throw around the pad and cover in the winter months. My dogs are not chewers or shredders, so I cannot comment on how resilient this bed would be for that type of dog. Assembling/stuffing the bed was not difficult, although it did take a couple of hours for the pad to flatten out and fully expand after unpacking it. I have not washed it yet, but I will update my review if anything unexpected happens when I do.Update: I've lowered my rating of this bed to 3 stars because after washing it for the first time on gentle cycle, the zipper for the part that contains the bolsters came apart. It no longer can hold the bolsters to the memory foam. I'm also having some difficulty finding information on the manufacturer to see if they might be able to help with the situation.Update 8/5/2017: Once I was able to find contact info for a warranty claim, response was very very quick and the problem corrected. I would definitely buy another one!Update 1/14/2019: I finally ordered a second one for my 50 lb. American Foxhound. This time I got the 40" X 26" size so that it would fit in his crate. The second one is every bit the high quality of the first one that I ordered over 2 years ago. The original one has held up beyond my expectations and it looks like it should last at least another couple of years! Both dogs love their beds and I would highly recommend them!
