How thick is the padding? I've seen a lot of pet beds at Petco with chintzy padding. Our dog is elderly & needs nice thick padding.

the center part is nice and think, the edges are tucked in. My puppy likes it when it is real cold but it really work retaining heat because when it is warmer out she just lays on the crate pad.

I think the padding is substantial and cushy. Our 10 year old cat seems to appreciate it. He's 15 lbs and doesn't seem to compress the padding significantly.

The padding is 2 - 3 inches and seems cushiony enough, but we haven't had it long enough to find out how well it will wear - don't know how long before it flattens out.

the top of the bed has a thick fuzzy material. it seems to be strong. my labs are not diggers on the bed so can't tell how it will hold up..have had for 3 months and no signs of damage. plus the stuffing seems to be firm. the beds havent flattened out like some others i've had..i will buy more..need a couple for my car

It is pretty thick when you take it out of the package. A couple inches I feel, but I feel it went flat pretty quickly. I weigh 175lbs. and have a couple 8 - 11 lb. yorkies that sleep with me. It was okay, but I was looking for more plush than this. I think it is good, but just was looking for more.

My dog uses it as a head rest pillow. It is not rigid as thick and squishy. She is seventy pounds and loves it.

The separate piece of foam inside the cover is 1" to 1.25" thick, as-stated by several others. I will add that it's medium-density, at best, and thus compresses very quickly and doesn't provide that much support. Better than nothing? Yes. Could it be better with thicker or higher-density foam? Definitely!I have a garden kneeling pad that's approximately the same thickness, but much more dense and rubber-like. If I were to cut a piece out of that and put it inside the cover, I'm sure it would be much more comfortable!

Mine is much thicker than that. Since it is inaccessible right now (it's in long-term storage), I can't give you an actual measurement, but I'd guess it is at least 4.5" thick. I find it firm and yet very comfortable.

I did not order this type of bed rather a different one by Armarkat. I have Chihuahuas and they really like it. I have hardwood floors also & it's thick enough with a no slip bottom. You can always fold a small blanket and place on top for added padding, comfort & warmth. I do when ever it is cold. I hope this helped.

All I can do is tell you what weight my dog is so you can use that info, I was worried if they would fit at 4.5 lbs. they fit perfectly and you might say bulkier but a lot more comfortable for the dogs, I scoured the internet just to find this kind. Hope this helps

Hmmm, good question. The top covering over the foam appears to be worthy of years of use by humans. I could only suggest that you put a tougher material mattress cover on it. But if your dog is a digger, well, who knows? But I do know I love my mattress. Best sleep I've had in a very long time. Best of luck.

Pick a different bed, no padding on the bottom. Horrible choice I made. Go to Costco they have nice dog beds.

My dogs are 80 pound adult Rhodesian Ridgebacks. The bed resembles a comforter for dogs, with a cool side and warmer side fabric, so you can adjust for the morning chill or night time drop in temps. The best thiing is that they stuff into a small sack so its nothing to put them away when you don't need a layer on the crate pad. My breeder recommended them for this reason-hiking & camping with dogs!

It is not super thick. My dog is about 53 pounds, and she seems to like the bed. It was a bit smaller than I thought it would be so she hangs off the edge a bit. Overall it has been durable, and works well. I have not attempted to wash it yet.

With out measuring I have a 17lb and a 11lb dog who share the bed with penty of room for them both. They love it and my poodle the 17lb one feels loved for having it. He is 14 and getting older so he loves haveing the cushion that even the carpet can't give him. Not made for a large dog but 2 little ones can learn to share and be very happy ;-)

I bought a couple of beds at the same time. My German Shepherd adored the other one and left this one alone. My friend visited with her dogs and they loved this one so I sent it home with her. It appeared to be well constructed, and it was really thick and fluffy. I was shocked that he didn't use it. I noticed that the cover was removable so it could be thrown in the wash. Hope this helps.

Not as thick as a regular mattress - maybe half as thick. You don't want it to be too thick though because it needs to bend when you adjust the feet/head. We did have a pneumatic pad on top of the mattress to help prevent bed sores so that added some extra thickness, but even without that it was reasonably comfortable.

bedding is firm,but has a softness to it, i am 64 yrs. old and i sleep very well in it.another thing , there is no way you can jump on it, you may prefer to buy a thicker mattress.

I'm not sure what you or the other review are talking about - mine is too firm if anything. I actually have a softer 1/2 inch pad on it. If you're having trouble with it I would call the manufacturer or Amazon. Amazon is spectacular with order issues and Brentwood is a US company which means they'd be easy to contact and deal with. Good luck with your order!
