One of the most comfy dog beds ever. The outer walls and removable center pillow of the Nest beds are made of soft polyester fleece or luxurious faux suede with a tough 420 denier nylon packcloth base. They unzip to access an inner bolster and cushion made of ripstop nylon. The inner cushion is filled with SmartFill, a 100% recycled fiber. SmartFill is machine washable and dryable. This dense, cushiony fiber makes our beds feel more substantial when compared to most other beds. Because SmartFill is made of many individual tufts of fiber, our beds can be opened up and ?refluffed÷ to restore the loft of the fiber. The inner cushion is odor and water-resistant, but if necessary, the inner cushion can be unzipped to remove and wash the SmartFill. The great thing about Big Shrimpy Beds is that they are designed for maximum comfort and style. Big Shrimpy products are built to last, incorporating recycled materials where possible. Big Shrimpy Beds use high quality fleece and luxurious faux suede and are completely machine-washable and dryable. Big Shrimpy beds are planet-friendly because they are filled with SmartFill. Love your pet! Love your planet! Sizes: Small - 26"x28". Medium - 33"x36". Large - 40"x47". Fleece Color Choices: Meadow, Camel or Breeze. Faux Suede Color Choices: Walnut, Marigold, Paprika, Coffee, Leaf, Clay, Tan Clover, Blue Daisy or Plum.

I like the exterior construction of my large nest bed, I am not happy with the Smartfill stuffing.
It has lost its loft, and trying to wash it to clean it and restore its loft was disasterous and potentially dangerous.
Many fibers were so sort that they flew everywhere, and clogged the lint trap on my dryer--creating a fire hazard. They also made it hard to breathe. And to top it off, it didn't improve the loft.

We actually own the purple one, but otherwise it's the same as this one.
Jackie is a bony greyhound and needs good cushioning and this bed delivers. It's incredibly well made, durable and nice to look at to boot. Jackie (and many other greyhounds) like to drape or prop their heads (depending on mood) and she also likes to snuggle. This bed lets her assume all her favorite resting positions.
Oh, and Jackie does take her retirement seriously -- she ran over 110 races and earned her nice bed-- and sleeps or otherwise reclines about 21 hours a day. She has several resting options with her Big Shrimpy being one of her top choices. To put it another way, she likes her own bed so much I don't find dog hair on the furniture.
We have not noted any quality problems, and if you are considering this bed, check out the manufacturer's website for more information. I did some communicating with them when shopping and they were friendly and helpful. I am...Read more
