This is not a dog bed.  There isn't any cushion to this item.  It is a dog mat.  It does have a water proof backing and a chenille type material on top.  I thought I was buying a bed but what I got was a cage mat to lay on the bottom of my dogs crate.  If you are looking for a bed, don't buy this item.  I gave it three stars because the quality is good but the item description is deceiving.

********** I purchased this item back in 2007***************  It is November of 2011 and I am adding information to my review because of negative comments I have received which make it seem as if I could not read or did not pay attention to the product title when I purchased this item.

Back in 2007 I purchased (here is the exact title of the description that I copied from my Amazon order listed under my account) a " Precision Pet SnooZZy Sleeper Bed, Medium/Large 4000, 35" x 23", Black (Pet Supplies)"  As you can see, 4 years ago it was listed as a PET BED not a MAT.  I am glad the manufacturer changed the item description because it is indeed a mat, not a bed which is why I gave it three stars instead of 5.  If I knew it was a MAT at the time I was looking to purchase a pet bed I would not have bought it because I was not looking for a mat.  With that said, the quality of this mat is very good.  So if you are looking for a mat I would definitely get this mat for your pet. I guess my review caused the manufacturer to change the name of the product which is good for all of you looking to purchase either a mat or bed for your pet. At least you won't get something you weren't looking to buy which is what happened to me back in '07.
