My dog, a 6-year-old, 65-pound, female Rhodesian Ridgeback/Golden Lab mix, wouldn't sleep on this bed. If we told her to get on it, she would, but then she got off as soon as we let her. Apparently she found it too stiff or uncomfortable. Or maybe she's just fussy -- likes to sleep curled up in a soft bed that forms a nest around her, which this bed does not. Indeed, the "fingers" of foam that poke up on both sides seemed as though they wouldn't be very comfortable through the bed's thin cover. We sent it back and bought a cheaper bed at Target, which she seems to like as much as her old bed.
