Why buy this instead of buying a 4 inch mem foam matress topper and then folding it over for an 8 inch thick dog bed? What makes this better?

This bed is huge. It supports all of Angelo's body when he is stretched out on it. Other than that, you'll have to ask my mastiffs. They prefer it to any other bed I have for them. : )

I have purchased 6 beds all brand names and had all of them last me less than 1yr before they became out of shape. this bed from BIG BARKER HAS STAYED IN SHAPE AND IS WARENTEED. I HAVE FOUND THE PERFECT ,COMFORTABLE, WELL MADE BED FOR OUR DOG. WHEN YOU FOLD THE MATRESS IT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE FOR THE DOG ESPECIALLY IF HE IS A LARGE DOG. THE BED WE HAVE PURCHASED IS FIRM AND VERY DURABLE FOR OUR DOGS BACK. BUY ONE AND U WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE MANUFACTURER. THE OWNER EMAILED ME TO MAKE SURE I WAS SATISFIED WITH THE BED... GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!@

Every time your dog gets up it will unfold itself...? It's all in one nice "little" package with the custom cover on it. It's guaranteed.

This bed seems to be of a higher quality than the memory foam toppers I have purchased or seen

sorry I can't help. he xlg I bought is big enough for two big dogs. I'd try to contact seller/source: dog bed king. it's hard to get precise product info.

I did a search for the dog net and besides the thickness, it looks like a better deal. It seems to include the mattress cover which I paid for separately. What motivated me to buy these was the way my dogs broke down the mattresses in the sofa. They are heavy dogs. The Dogonit has a 3 year warranty, Big Barker has a 10 year. If these break up or down, they get replaced. I consider it an investment. I want their bodies to be we'll supported as they get older.

I bought the original mattress by mistake. I have a mini co-sleeper so I exchanged it with a smaller size. The one I got that was a fit for the mini co-sleeper is sturdy and a good quality. You would't need anything else underneath.

That might be a tough fit, I had a hard time getting the cover to fit my king size + 4" a foam. I think you could do it with enough fussing though. The good news with this thing is you pretty much *never* take it off so I think the effort would be worth it.

I have put a memory foam top for a queen sized bed on mine for when people sleep over. It is only about 3" thick, but you cannot fold it when the additional foam is on top, but makes it a much better bed. The trifold is quite stiff, and I think if you were to put it on top of a memory foam mattress it would eliminate any benifit of the memory foam, but you could tilt it up for an elevated reading position. Hope this helps.

My mattress is only 8-10 inches thick, but there is a lot of extra room with the pad. I have to tuck the pad in all the way around. So it would fit a thicker mattress.

The pad is 2 inches thick and it is slightly smaller than my queen mattress. It is not a significant difference though. Ordering a larger size may be the answer if you are concerned about it being to small

The separate piece of foam inside the cover is 1" to 1.25" thick, as-stated by several others. I will add that it's medium-density, at best, and thus compresses very quickly and doesn't provide that much support. Better than nothing? Yes. Could it be better with thicker or higher-density foam? Definitely! I have a garden kneeling pad that's approximately the same thickness, but much more dense and rubber-like. If I were to cut a piece out of that and put it inside the cover, I'm sure it would be much more comfortable!

I'm not sure what type of bed you have or how thick it is; however, ours came with a cover that was pointless to use. The heated bed we received is like a rubber plastic and fit nice inside the our regular dog bed. You can add air to it or leave it flat. We left ours flat and fit nice inside an extra large bed we already had.

This one is two inches thick- they lump all the reviews together which is really confusing and not really useful. I personally love my 2 inch topper- we have a baby and now we sleep like we haven't slept in ages. I have a queen, but it fits perfectly on top of the mattress, so I would assume the king does as well

Hi Nisha,We purchased this bed for our 45lb pit/terrier mix and she loves it. The pad that comes with it isn't great but it isn't horrible. The pad is about 3-4 inches thick but the bottom is hard so that the bed keeps it's shape so I have considered buying the pad that goes with this bed. What I do is put a couple towels and blankets in the bed so she has more comfort. I would consider this bed more for keeping the dog out of your bed but u may have to add to the bedding for more comfort. Hope this helps!

I am wondering if this would help a hide-a-bed. They are uncomfortable as a rule, but wonder if this 4" topper would make ours tolerable.

Hi, Linda - this is a very thick - really - 3" - heavy larger than you might imagine topper. I bought a 1/2" thick organic mattress pad from Amazon. You might also get an organic mattress cover. The company recommends turning it, if I recall, once a month, and to air it in the sun. I did find, after a bit of sleeping on it, that the back problem I have did not go away. It is so unbelievably luxurious to snuggle into, one feels really spoiled. Am deciding what to do with mine. To answer your question - I would not. The wool is loose, sewn in with a few strategically placed stitches in about 9 places, I am guessing. To wash it would wreck it.

This thing isn't thick like a pillow -- it'll make a nice soft surface, but the foam topper would be more significant.I had a similar situation, and put on a foam topper plus this feather topper and the bed is pretty much heaven now. :)I recommend it.

The one that I ordered, the large, I had to fill with water. The dog wasn't loving the feeling of it. I wanted a gel, too. Check out dogbed4less (no error) their 4 inch memory foam are the best with the brown faux suede cover. Love them. If you find a good gel bed, let me know please, too! Take care! Jane

I would use the thinnest mattress you can. I have an 8" Bed in a Box. Thicker mattresses will work but don't bend as easily. If you like your feet pretty high you can feel sort of jammed in the bend. There is a retainer bar at the foot to keep the mattress from sliding down.
