Outdoor Elevated Dog Cot, Breathable Cooling Elevated Cot Hammock Pet Bed for Large Dogs, Washable Mesh Cover, Raised Metal Frame, Collapsible, Portable - Large 42 X 30in Gray

I bought this dog bed over 6 months ago and it is holding up as well as it did when I first assembled it. My 55 lb dog spends a lot of time on the bed and the woven platform fabric doesn't cave downwards like I thought that it would end up doing. When she darts down the hall, she runs into the room and jumps into her bed like a baseball player trying to get to the home baseplate. It's funny because she doesn't want the cats to get her, but it's also a game that she and the cats play. The surface of the bed is still perfectly strong. Sometimes I place blankets or sheets on top for her, but they end up smelly and are harder to clean than this bed is. We have limited space where we are keeping her bed right now, and because of that I truly appreciate that it is so LIGHTWEIGHT! When I need to get into the closet, I stand the bed up against the wall, get what I need, then lay the bed back down. EASY TO ASSEMBLE: Place the strong hollow poles onto corner brackets, and slide the woven platform fabric on the poles before all pieces meet up with the corners. The last one is a little snug, but that's good. It needs to be snug so it can be sturdy. Disassembling is just as easy. Just pull it apart starting at the corners. The poles are made out of some kind of metal. The corner brackets are a tough, thick special plastic. The feet are thick and don't have any signs of wear on them. WASHING it is a breeze! Brush off any debris and dog hair, then place it in the washing machine. Likewise, if an emergency occurs and the dog soiled it or something similar happened, take the whole bed outside and hose it off with dish soap. I had to do this once, and while it was out there, assembled and drying, a storm arrived. I forgot about it! It held up well being outside. It's a truly fantastic bed that's indestructible, well almost. My boyfriend fell back on it when rocking back in his chair, and he bent the frame. He's a strong man, so he was able to bend it back again and you can't even tell that it happened. The dog still runs down the hall, leaps and lands in bed like it's the only way to get in there, and it still looks as good as new!! VERSATILE: It can be used as it is or with another bed or blanket on top. The past six+ months of having the airflow under her must have felt fantastic. Now that the colder months are here, I am truly thankful that we were able to order her an Orthopedic Dog Bed from this same manufacturer. It is just about the same size and will fit right on top of the elevated bed. It will give a bit more warmth for her when we have the heat on a lower setting than we do in the summer. I will post photos after it arrives and will tell how well the two work together.

I can’t rave enough about this dog bed! We have had 2 of these (size L) for several years (and just purchased another - XL this time). We bought one for our labs. After a few years, the cover was finally worn. So, we bought a replacement cover and another full cot because all 4 wanted to use it. Even our largest lab (110 lbs lean) fit comfortably. It is raised just the right amount that even when they hit 14-15 years old and could barely walk, they could easily get up and down. The covers are amazing! They withstand puppy chewing and constant use. They even hold up to small children cuddling with the dogs and maybe sometimes jumping in the cot… (no, I’ve never won parent of the year). Even the mesh portion is durable. The best part for me is that the covers don’t absorb smells. I have a very sensitive sense of smell. I’ve never found a cushioned dog bed that doesn’t smell even after washing - or completely fall apart when washing. Our dogs thankfully don’t stink, but constant use will still cause odors in the cushioned beds. Our Bernese Mountain Dog LOVED the breathable mesh when she was hot. We kept a blanket on the other for our Great Dane. We rarely have to wash the covers, but when we do, it is easy to take the cot apart and put it back together, and it is still very stable. The large is a great size, even for our 120-lb Great Dane. But we just purchased the XL because our 180-lb lean Mastiff hangs over the edges a bit. The last great thing I wanted to post is that the dirt and hair don’t collect on the bed. It goes through. The cot is super easy to just lift and vacuum under. When our lab became incontinent, we placed pads under the cot to keep her from having to lay in her accidents until we could clean it up. It helped her skin from burning and didn’t ruin the floor or the bed. It was so easy to swap out the cover and wash it for her.

So far my dog loves this. We have an old bed for him that he loved and outgrew. Now we have a puppy as well (not sure my decision making skills are that great 👀🐕🤦‍♀️ Haven't slept in days). So our older boy got himself a fancy new bed that actually fits his 120# frame, and little Tova got the hand-me-down. Everyone wins. What I particularly like is the added length compared to the old one. Hard to fit in our tiny house, but so are the dogs frankly. Loki, in typical GSD fashion, is longer than he is tall, so its perfect. I also like that bit of added height. I suspect the airflow on these hot summer days is improved from the 6" height of the older bed. The mesh in the center is a must if you have a heavy coated dog too. The pups (yes we have a geriatric old gal too) tend to prefer these beds to the tile floor which used to be the 'it' place to nap on a hot day. The bed is lightweight, incredibly easy to put together, and seems sturdy enough. I am concerned about the velcro end in the long run, but worst case scenario, I have to stitch it down at some point. The good thing about the velcro is that it is a bit easier to put up and take down. I particularly like the center brace in the XL size, adds to the stability. Not gonna lie, these aren't going to be featured on a Better Homes and Gardens cover any time soon. They will never blend with our decor, but they are excellent training tools and give the pups a place, help elevate them, and are easy to travel with. Great investment all around if you have dogs. * Forgive the blurry puppy pic. Tova had decided to use Loki as her personal slide at that moment. 😆 She should be grateful that he is a pretty chill dude.

This cot is a great quality cot. I ordered the Chocolate/Black Mesh Mat because it looked more sturdy than the one color see through ones. I love the ease of putting it together and taking it apart to wash the mat. Also, I love that the legs don’t protrude out like a lot of other elevated beds do (I tripped on and broke the one we had and that’s what lead me to buy this one). In the puppy stages my dog loved to used this cot as a trampoline, making a running start to jump on it. With that, one of the plastic legs cracked causing it to pop out of the poles constantly. Now older, my 65 lb. Boxer loves to roll her toys under it and then get on top and “dig” to get them to move from under it (even though she could easily just lift the cot with her head and body). Incredibly with all the digging she does, there is no sign of wear on the mat, now it has sagged, but that can be fixed with tightening the velcro. So the only con to this cot is the plastic on the legs that attaches to the poles. Now that our “puppy” is no longer a puppy, she doesn’t use the cot as a trampoline anymore and the abuse comes from digging the mat. I ended up ordering a second cot for spare parts and an extra mat to boot.

My dogs love it. I had one but my two dogs pushed each other out to claim it. Now there are two beds side by side and peace is restored. Easy to assemble and a great quality

24-Dec-7 UPDATE: All four beds are still going strong after two years. Vacuuming them often to minimize washing helped keep the mesh suspension portions going for awhile but we have had to improvise one sleeping surface as the original finally developed one too many tears. We aren't upset about this at all and are actually impressed given how much use these beds see when they double as wrestling surfaces for my shepherds. The frames are all in 10/10 shape. It's not often that I come across such a durable and worthwhile product as everything now seems to be built for continuous replacement. 23-Nov-30 UPDATE: Really, the final update this time. We're one year in with these beds and are still without issue. Our dogs use them every day and night. They're sagging a little more now than before but our dogs still love their beds. We wash the platforms only when we need to and instead, vacuum them daily to keep them clean. We've found that we only have to wash them after the dogs have spent hours on the beds, working on antlers or chunks of yak cheese. I think line drying has also contributed to the long service life. I'm happy to report that all four bedframes are still intact too so when the mesh finally fails, we will be able to make replacement beds with some time on the sewing machine. We (humans and dogs) are still super pleased with these beds! 23-May-23 UPDATE: This will be the final update for this product. All four beds are still 100% functional. We've had some frayed edges develop after numerous washings but nothing that prevents the use of these beds. Our dogs have grown slightly in size and still like to wrestle or run across their beds so these beds have certainly seen some use that results in wear. Six months and four beds later, we are very happy with these and will purchase more when these eventually fail. And failure isn't a mark of poor quality! Filled beds need to be refreshed, renewed, and replaced too, just like a platform bed. These are consumable items and these beds were well-worth the cost given how much comfort they have provided and use they have endured. 23-Feb-27 UPDATE: All four beds are still in service with our dogs and going strong. No tears, no frayed edges despite numerous washings, no broken pieces. Our dogs still love their beds and use them daily/nightly. We have figured out a better way to reassemble the beds after washing though. We assemble the frame completely but leave the velcro undone. Brace the two corners of the frame with feet then stretch and pull the bed as tight as possible before folding over the frame. This results in a much tighter fit and less sag. 22-Nov-29 UPDATE: The first two beds we purchased were moved to a different part of the house while we waited for the second set. The second set was built and replaced the originals in the basement. I literally had my dogs sitting, waiting for me to complete assembling their beds. As soon as one was built, the male took it which was surprising given he is not the dominant one of the pair. The female continued to wait while I assembled the second bed, followed me as I was placing it and hopped on it literally as I was setting it down. I'd say it's safe to say that my two dogs love their beds. In the picture, the male is on the left. ORIGINAL REVIEW: We have a pair of German Shepherds. At the time of this writing, they have had these beds for about a week and are 11 months old. The larger of the two is a 110 pound male and relatively long while the smaller is an 80 pound female. This review is primarily about the male's experience with the bed as the female is not nearly as selective about where she sleeps. Despite daily grooming and the basement being kept at 68 degrees, he prefers to lay directly on the concrete slab rather than any bed or softer surface we have tried to offer him. Our best guess is the slab is the only surface that is able to wick away his body heat and keep him comfortable. That is, until we bought him the largest model of this bed and paired it with a fan. He immediately laid down on his bed and stretched out along the diagonal. His paws dangle off the edge ever so slightly but he doesn't seem to mind. He frequently brings an elk antler or chunk of yak cheese to his bed to gnaw on it while laying down. During one of the first sessions on the bed, he discovered the raised manufacturer's mark and gave it a few probing attempts but it didn't yield and he hasn't tried to remove it again. I did see the female give the mark a couple swipes with her paw but no other attempts than that. The bed is very easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning and portability. Both of our dogs enjoy their chews in their respective beds so the ability to clean it is important. As far as durability goes, our two have rough-housed on their beds without breaking anything. Their combined weight is close to 200 pounds however these beds are rated for 300 pounds and showed no signs of buckling under them. We have been pleased enough with these beds to order a second pair of them for another spot in the house.

These beds are fantastic, I have one for each of my dogs. Easy to clean up hair underneath from our lab who never stops shedding and the large is more than enough room for my 75 lb lab. Great price, great quality!

Easy to put together. My Dogs are enjoying it. Pretty sturdy and big enough for my German Shepherd. Definitely worth it.
