Friends Forever Large Dog Bed Orthopedic Pet Sofa Memory Foam Mattress Calming Dog Couch Wall Rim Pillow Water

Update - after two full months of use and daily vacuuming I’m happy to report that this bed is still doing really well. I vacuum it with the pet tool and the hair comes up easily. There are no signs of wear and when our senior Aussie starts licking her paws or legs the bed does get wet but it dries just fine. Both our aussies love the bed and even though the enormous size has been an adjustment it is nice that our tall Aussie shepherd has a place where she can completely stretch out. So far so good. Our Aussies loved their old dog bed, which we purchased because of the good reviews on Amazon. This bed was great but the cover failed - I'm looking at you BarksBar - and even though the bed was great, within a week there were holes in the cover where our girls would sleep. Our girls do not chew or pick. They are senior dogs who just sleep. The BarksBar bed was 40x30. I was worried because this Friends Forever bed measured 44x34 on the outside. I am here to tell you, this bed is HUGE. Both our girls - 71 pounds and 53 pounds can comfortably fit in this bed together and nap. I posted a photo above of the BarksBar bed next to the Friends Forever bed and our 71 pound Aussie is stretched out in the Friends Forever bed. In the BarksBar bed she fit, but her feet hung over the edge or her butt hung out the side. The Friends Forever she fits completely. The Friends Forever bed does have a smell. The memory foam pad that goes in the bottom of the bed smells like a memory foam pad. We have had it in our bedroom for two full days and the smell has dissipated significantly. It did not bother our dogs at all. We turned on a floor fan directly on the bed and the ceiling fan to air the room out and help the bed air out faster. Unfortunately it is snowing like crazy at our house or we would have just put the whole bed outside. I test out every single dog bed that comes into our house because our oldest senior Aussie (pictured above) has degenerative arthritis in her hips and she has a hard time getting comfortable at night. Honestly, I could sleep on the Friends Forever bed. That memory foam is extremely comfortable and it supported my weight of 150 pounds, so I know it supports my girls' weight. I vacuum all the beds in our house every afternoon and then all the covers get washed as needed and every couple months. This bed has been vacuumed twice and the hair come off no problem. I also spray each bed with Odoban to kill any germs and keep the beds smelling good. I will report back after the first washing. Read more

Absolutely AMAZING! My pup is a large Great Pyr and at 8 or 9 (rescue so unsure), he has sore joints and loves to snuggle up on a soft yet stable bed. This is the BEST bed - and I have purchased so many it's becoming embarrassing. We have three rescue great pyr and now...I'll be buying this bed for the other two. Thank you - it's cozy, large with support for their back and neck (both sides) and it fits into our van so they can ride in comfort too! Read more

Lucy is a lab/corgi mix, weighs about 45-48 lbs, is roughly 36" long, so I bought the large bed in grey which is a perfect size for her. Words can't express how much Lucy LOVES this bed! She sleeps in it, drags all her toys in it, watches tv in it, and has stopped jumping onto my sofas as much (which was the goal). She definitely prefers this bed to the human furniture. Lucy is turning 8 and so she now requires some additional comfort in life as she approaches her mature years, and also getting some old people issues that prevent her from jumping on and off the sofas anymore. That also means that we've gone through so many beds in the past 8 years that I've realized a few things are important to her: 1) She loves pillows, so she needed a bed that had the side bolsters. I've searched and wasted money on SOO many other beds that look fluffy and end up flatting out when she tries to lay on them. I feel like I FINALLY found a bed with real filling that is actually supportive. You can see in the images that they actually hold up against her weight when she rests her head on them. I think this is the #1 reason she loves this bed so much. The arms are real pillows. 2) The bed itself had to have true thickness and orthopedic quality to support her weight and back. Corgis tend to be prone to developing back issues late in life, so it's important to me that she have support to prevent these from developing. This mattress is thick and truly orthopedic. She actually prefers this bed now to other furniture and I think that this is the main reason why. She's finally comfortable in her older age. For this reason I just ordered a second one to replace the bedroom doggie bed. She'll now have one in the living room and in the bedroom. Totally worth it! 3) Lucy sheds a ton and loves to chew her toys on her beds so it had to be washable and vacuum-friendly. The cover is easy to unzip and slip on and off for washing. Lucy isn't that harsh on her beds so I haven't run into the trouble that some other reviewers have. I also keep a blanket on it for her (as you can see in the pictures), which might also be protecting the cover from wearing down quickly. However, in my honest opinion, even if this cover wears out, that's still worth it to me. The covers aren't that expensive, can be purchased separately, and the bed itself is good quality so I know that it'll definitely last through the next cover. The mattress and bolsters quality is key for me. Additionally, I vacuum it almost daily and it hasn't had any wear and tear signs yet between the washing and vacuuming. I'll provide an update if that changes. I've only had it for about 4 months now, so maybe it's still too new for what others have noted? Finally, I can't speak to the waterproof issue that some others have noted in their reviews. Again, Lucy just sleeps on her beds for the most part, and doesn't ever soil them so I have no idea if it is or isn't waterproof. But, I did follow someone's advice and bought a crib mattress cover to wrap the bottom mattress in before putting it into the vinyl sleeve provided (just in case). Something to consider. In summary, Lucy and I LOVE this bed. The price was honestly a little scary for me at first but after receiving this bed I totally get why it's so pricy. It's definitely a good quality bed, and worth it. It makes her other beds look very shabby and dreadful, honestly, like they should just be tossed. Check out my other reviews to see a competitor that we tried, which was also not cheap but much poorer quality, and is now being trashed and replaced by a second one of these. Can't wait for the second one to arrive for the bedroom. I know Lucy's going to be excited. Read more

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. Read more

It’s Ok, but not as much padding and definitely not memory foam as I thought it would be. It is very large, the handle is really appreciated, seems well made, and the sides hold up really well, but doesn’t give a lot of relief. Read more
