JOYELF X-Large Memory Foam Dog Bed - Orthopedic & Removable Washable Cover Dog Sleeper for Large DogsGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

Finally an orthopedic dog bed that really does contain Memory Foam. I had one for my dog years ago and it was lost in a cross-country move. Ever since then, I've been buying bed after bed that had advertised their product as "orthopedic foam," only to discover upon arrival they were just egg-carton foam, being advertised as orthopedic. When this one arrived, I could tell immediately that this time, I got the right thing. The box was bulging at the seams.I let the foam expand and air out for about 5 or 6 hours, and there was no noticeable odor that I could detect. Your experience may vary, depending on your sense of smell, and whether or not you try to bury your nose in the foam. If there is any odor, my dog doesn't seem to care.Once I got it all unpacked and let it expand, I put it together while my dog, Jedi, stood by watching my every move. As soon as it was completely assembled, Jedi immediately jumped in and quickly fell asleep. He couldn't even wait for me to get it inside his crate. He is a 12 y/o Labrador mix who weighs 55 lbs. The size I bought is the large. It fits perfectly in his crate both front to back and side to side.I love the ease of assembly, and the fact that the cover is totally washable. The bolster stuffing is in one long continuous piece, and zips out easily. The memory foam is zipped inside a leakproof sleeve to prevent accidents from soaking through to the foam. I love this!The only thing I would like to see as an improvement is to make the memory foam a little thicker, maybe 3 or 4 inches instead of just 2". Otherwise, I rate this as 5 stars. I highly recommend this product to anyone searching for a REAL Memory Foam bed for their beloved, aging dog.We are both happy now!I purchased this item with my own real money. I'm not an employee of the manufacturer, nor am I paid for this review. Just a happy camper.

These are very nice beds I ordered 6 of them for all my little dogs. The memory foam is a little thin for my liking. I had a roll of 1" black high density polyurethane foam, so I cut out 6 pc. and put one in each bed under the memory foam in the same pocket. there was plenty of room. Now they are just perfect. Even without the new foam they are great for little dogs, I just wanted more.

I just received this and opened it in my basement because I was concerned that some of the reviews mentioned a strong odor. I in fact ALMOST didn't purchase this one because of the odor comments. There just the usual odor from vacuum seal plastic and new memory foam. I gave 4 stars for chew resistance because 1) my old girl is not going to be chewing her bed 2) Chew resistance depends on the item and your dog. I've seen big bully breeds eat through fire hose material! The one I received came with the bolster already installed. Rather than everything loading in from the bottom, it has a hidden zipper up top for access to the bolster should the cover need to be washed or the bolster replaced over time. The memory foam goes in through a separate bottom loading compartment. The memory foam is solid and firm. About 4 inches after having been opened and expanding for a few hours so it may end up thicker. As a Veterinarian I advise clients that with memory foam pet bedding firmness and bounce back are more important than thickness. I actually laid down in the constructed bed on my cement basement floor. I could not feel the cement. I purchased this for a 43 lb 15 1/2 year old Labrador with a serious spinal injury, and hind limb paralysis. I'm 5' 2" and weigh in at 110 lbs so I am confident that once this is fully expanded and my dog gives it a try it will be supportive and comfortable for her. My goal is to preserve blood flow, prevent pressure sores, and support her fragile spine. The material in the sleeping area is attractive and very very soft. The mattress has a plastic material cover that has a top and bottom side with labels to indicate. Pay attention! The top side is WATERPROOF. It is marked to indicate that it is the top side...the side that the dog will lay against. The bottom side appears to be more water RESISTANT. I think if a water bowl spilled and got under the bed for a length of time the water would be absorbed up into the memory foam through the lower side of the mattress cover. The mattress is protected from urine leakage and spills by the plastic top, however I recommend and will be using washable cloth "pee pads" under my dog's hind end to protect the bed and make clean up easier. The bolster area is covered in super soft material and is high enough to add security, comfort and neck/head support but has enough give to allow for proper cervical alignment. I usually wait a bit to do reviews, but so far I am pleased with this purchase and excited to see how it works for my dog. I'll be back after a few days of use with an updated review and this bed in action. One more thing: The toy is too small to be given to the size dog this bed (XL) would be purchased for. It also has a loose squeaker inside. The squeaker is a choking hazard if your dog likes to perform surgical removal on this type of toy and the whole toy is easily pulled apart and too small to be used by a medium or large dog. But I didn't;t buy the bed because it came with a toy and that is not how you should choose a dog bed either. Safety and comfort first.
