I purchased this bed based on a recommendation. It is a good bed--soft and supportive, and I like the fact that I can remove the cover to wash it. However, the cover is clearly not made to be washed regularly. There's part of it that's vinyl in order to be waterproof, and it's cracking/chipping after only 2 washings in cold water. Additionally, the "fur" that makes it so soft comes out in big clumps when washed, to the point where I can't wash it with anything else. I would not purchase this bed again for those reasons because I like to wash my dog beds regularly.
