Well made, soft cover, substantial orthopedic foam. Our 90 pound German Shepherd (not fat, just a very tall and large Shepherd) usually preferred our bed and sofa to her other beds in the house, but she LOVES this bolstered bed drags her toys into it with her. Stella is 9 yrs. old now and the orthopedic foam must be a comfort to her. BTW, Stella "digs and fluffs" her bed before laying down and the cover shows zero wear and tear so far.
