The dog bed is really cuddly and cozy. My Aaron (standard poodle, still Junior) has accepted directly with enthusiasm and made himself comfortable with his toys. The padding edge is nice to use as a pillow, the mattress base not too soft, the fur has to be removed and absorbent pad when the dog get wet coming from the walk. The surface is non-slip for any smooth floors. The size is already required for a medium-sized dog (Poodles, Dalmatians, etc.). So we are very pleased and can highly recommend it.
