Rarely are items better than their glowing sales literature and enhanced pictures. In this case, though, the Pet Gear Foundation Pet Bed really is. It is super, duper well made---so much so that my large breed (and large jawed) dog doesn't have a prayer of a chance at breaking through any of the seams. It is substantially thicker than the description---both the cedar bags AND the orthopaedic memory foam. It's so comfortable that I could sleep on it! If you happened to have purchased the Pet Gear large size crate, you'll find that this dog bed fits perfectly inside it---not just in terms of end to end and width to width, but in terms of height too. It smells good every morning when I get my dog out of the crate. The cedar is fresh and nice smelling---nothing like the chemically enhanced (yuck!) cedar sold mostly in products like this. You won't be disappointed AND no----I do NOT work for the company! I'm just really happy with this product!
