The pillow is really super padded and so far shows no material weaknesses. Is only stupid if the worm is rolled up (as in the picture - ie slightly above the other), then slips the dog in the "chink", which he also finds totally goofy. Now with a thin blanket over it no longer happens and is often used (also because of the super head storage option). Anyone wishing to use the buttons must quite rumfriemeln, the look is not sewn on as stable.
