My dogs both want to sleep on this pet bed. Actually, they share it with Boomer the cat. It is soft and squishy for them. The other one is filed with that not so soft, chunky gray stuff. Not so much do they lay on that one. But the Furhaven is a winner! It is a full 4" thick, has a soft fuzzy side and a water resistant bottom. It is very easy to unzip the cover to wash...and washes up very nicely. Have washed it at least a dozen times and still looks and preforms great.
