Sturdy bed, Larger than anticipated

Be careful when you unpack this bed from the shipping box. If you slice through the tape with a utility knife, you'll probably knick the bed like I did (not smart since the box said not to open with a knife). Good news is the nylon part of the bed patches quite nicely with a tent or nylon jacket repair kit.

As for be bed, I ordered the large size and it is huge (the handle is great). One of my dogs likes it. The other one isn't so sure as air does get trapped in the bed to some extent and "exhales" as the dog steps on it to lie down. A whimpy dog might find it unsettling.

The one improvement I'd make is to have a 3" layer of firmer foam as the base layer covered with 3" of the outdoor polyfill baffling.

Cost-wise, you can't make these beds for the 20% off price at Back Country. The fiberfill alone (which is the type that is used in outdoor furniture that can be hosed/washed and does not hold odors) would cost about $70 retail.
