First, our dog did not like it because the terms "loud" is. You can hear every move ...! The padding of the inner surface is quite sparse ... So for outside in cold weather, it is not enough isolated. However, the relation is robust (up to now). But our dog is also quiet and peaceful. In a "scratchy" animal .... ??. All in all, the true value for money, if you know what dog beds cost so. For indoors or in the car's is ok. Goes on an insulated floor's possibly even in winter outdoors. That has to be decided individually. We can not do that. Meanwhile, our dog has accepted the rustling, and the first wash has not yet completed ...? After several months of use, the quality can now be seen: washing the cover no problem going well and easily. But now I had to wash the interior, because the reference is not really tight is (dog had vomited, and remove the reference you could see this very clearly !!!))). The sausage around it provides a before a task. They hardly get smooth again purely because it tends to clump together during washing. And the mat (which could possibly also exchange against a suitable thicker?) Must be handled with care, otherwise they krumpelt. Conclusion on my part - perhaps 3-4 times you can wash the inside, then it's done! The cover is not tight !!! If the bed is a little dirty accordingly it is great! Otherwise ... ???
