I have had this bed for two years now and it is holding up beautifully and has maintained it's loft. We keep it in our living room where it gets constant attention from our three pugs. Our one girl has partially paralyzed back legs and can get into this bed with ease making it a favorite of hers. I have never washed the inner cushion but have washed the outer cover frequently and it still looks great. I do line the bed with pee pads between the cushion and covering. This has kept the cushion in good condition(our girl with paralysis has bladder control issues). Take care of your bed and it will provide your doggie with years of comfort. It is worth the price and I am happy to support such a quality product made in the states.
