DANGER: Quickly Melted/Smoked
I’m still in shock! The Best Friends by Sheri Calming Shag Cuddler bed almost immediately began to melt and smoke while sitting near our enclosed fireplace. It’s a faux gas fireplace with no open flames. My children and I began to smell something odd. My son said it smelled like plastic and I agreed. We started looking around the family room and kitchen to find the source of the smell and that’s when I saw smoke rising from the pet bed. I ran for the bed, picked it up and it was burning hot, smoking and melted in a spot on one side. It literally felt like it was burning from the inside out along the entire side facing the fireplace. The heat was radiating inward about 4” from the edge. I ran the bed to the sink to stop it from melting and turned on the exhaust fan in the kitchen and opened all the windows and doors in the house to clear out the strong chemical smelling fumes. We’ve lived in this house for 9 years and have had various cat beds, pillows, blankets, plastic water glasses, Christmas stockings, holiday decor, our toes, etc. in front of the fireplace and nothing like this has ever happened. Never! To back things up, we received the bed just yesterday, Feb. 8. We pulled it out of the box today and read the instructions. It can be washed and dried. It’s 100% polyester, which I guess makes it “vegan.” It’s made in China. There were a couple mentions about posting images on Instagram. No where on the box, affixed tags, tag attached by plastic, or note inside the plastic bag inside the box were there any warnings about being flammable or cautioning users to keep the bed away from anything warm or hot, such as heaters, fireplaces, blow dryers. It does say so not “iron” it. I would never ever put this is a dryer, which it says you can. Anyway, after unboxing It fluffed up as expected. We set it near our fireplace. We settled in to watch the Oscars pre-show. One of the cats stepped in the bed for a few minutes then left. It quickly started melting. I’m so very thankful our pets were not in the bed! If we weren’t sitting only several feet from the bed, I fear the house could have burned down.

What in the world?!
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I took this out of the box and it was in a vacuum sealed plastic package, completely flat and deflated. Sorry I didn't get any photos of that, but I didn't realize this thing was going to be such a hit. I cut away the plastic and my dog jumped in and immediately claimed it as his. He hasn't relinquished his hold for at least an hour now. When you take it out of the vacuumed sealed packaging it's a little flat and needs to be fluffed in the dryer, according the provided instructions, but we didn't make it to the dryer. My dog wouldn't get out of it. Anyway, if you're considering this bed, I feel pretty certain you won't be disappointed.

Cozy comfort
Dropped a star because there is a “blank space” in the bottom that isn’t covered by cushions.Bought this for my 11yo Schnauzer who is arthritic & clumsy now. He has slept in my bed from the day he came home until just a few weeks ago. He fell off my bed in his sleep & injured his back. I had to put a stop to him being in my bed & knew coaxing him into a dog bed would require an abundance of comfort. He loves “fuzzy blankets”, so I came to Amazon & started looking.This “doughnut” has been exactly right. I now bring it room to room so he can rest in it wherever he follows me. He has Cushings Disease & gets hot, so I added a flat bed sheet & he manipulates it when he’s hot, covering up the fur of the bed, it’s so funny! But on chilly nights, he kicks the sheet off & smushes down in the fuzziness of the bed. I’m so glad I bought it, I can sleep soundly again at night, not worrying he will roll off my bed again.I bought a large size for a 18 pound mini schnauzer.On the rare occasion that the old guy I bought it for will allow his brother in, it fits 2 mini schnauzers.

Super soft, but falls apart in wash
I really liked this bed when I received it. My furry friend took a bit to warm up to it but ended up liking it. However, I just washed it (as per the instructions) and it fell apart. Specifically, a hole opened up and the inside of my washer was full of tiny polyester filling bits. I'm disappointed that it did not hold up to one wash. I expected more for the price.The actual center of the bed could use additional filling, particularly right in the middle - it was rather flat in this area, unlike the sides which were super plush. I ordered the smallest size for my dog and he doesn't even take up half of it - it's way bigger than I expected (unless I received the wrong size). I will say that the fuzzy material is extremely soft and I was impressed with this aspect of the bed. I would not, however, recommend this bed if you plan to keep it clean.

Great bed as long as you Do Not Machine Wash or dry
I loved this bed and so did my Dolly, the Cavachon puppy. However, the first time I washed it on delicate cold water and then ran it through the dryer on air only and the bed came out perfect. The second time, it came out a gummy mass with only the inside pillow retaining the shaggy fur. I'm very disappointed as the bed was such a favorite.

Not what it looks
My dog isn’t impressed. It’s fluffy like it looks but there is no padding on the bottom on ones I received. I have to put something under it so the dog isn’t on the hard floor.

Great but is it really machine washable?
Really love this. My dog Jasper uses it as a play area and a nap bed. Unfortunately - something happened to the fabric in the wash and not sure why. It’s been washed before so I’m surprised it did this!

Muy suave
Está muy bonita y suave. A mí perro le encantó. Tenía duda sobre el tamaño chico pero le quedó perfecto a mi perro de 11kg. Se pone muy ansioso cuando se queda solo en la casa pero la cama ha ayudado mucho ya ni siquiera se sube al sillón. Me preocupa un poco si quedará igual de suave después de lavarla , actualizaré la opinión una vez que lo haga.

Perfect - My dog LOVES it
My dog just loves it. She was so happy and snuggly. I noticed some reviews comment about it being thin on the bottom... it's made that way on purpose. You need to read the instructions that come with it which explains now to "fluff" it and why the bottom is not stuffed full. In any event, my dog LOVES it and it looks really nice in the living room.

Shipping was great, as expected
Shipping was great, as expected. My dogs love these beds !! I just got them out of the plastic packaging and both dogs were already laying inside them. I had to command dogs to 'come' so that i could shake the beds out a lil as directed. As soon as i lay the beds back down they were inside them again, my lil dog Lola ( my cuddler) was nestling right up in her bed and thoroughly enjoying it. Liv my larger dog had sprawled herself inside and across her bed and literally went to sleep right there lol. I bought both beds at 23x23 in Taupe and my dogs fit inside them well, Lola is about 15lbs and Liv is about 30lbs. I am thrilled that i bought these beds for my girls, they clearly love them. The quality seems good and they look good and feel great. Awesome product that i would definatley buy again. I think i may buy a few as gifts for hard to buy for family members with pets.
