We love these pads, have had two of them for years now and they're still going strong. I have them doubled up on the back of my suv which prevents dog hair and sand from getting to my seats. We use them in between us in our tent while we're camping. When we throw them down around a campfire or wherever, the dogs immediately know that's their spot and lie down, especially when they're tired. The bottom material is super durable and the top, while fairly soft, is also rugged and can easily be s...hook out or even hosed off. There isn't much paddling in the middle, so it won't provide a ton of R value on cold nights. The lack of thick foam does mean they roll up quite small and dry out fast. Otherwise if you happen to leave it out and it got wet, thick foam would take forever to dry. A very utilitarian pad, I highly recommend!
I bought this bed for my Bernese Mountain Dog pup because she tends to prefer cold, hard surfaces for sleeping because she doesn't like to be hot. But sometimes that seems so uncomfortable for her knobby elbows . She won't spend a lot of time on a soft chair or a bed because she gets too warm. But this is a nice, thin pad with a fabric that lends itself to coolness and she absolutely loves to nap on it.
The Ruffwear Mt. Bachelor Pad is a low-profile, portable bedroll that gives dogs a sense of home in different environments. This easy-to-clean dog bed covers and protects surfaces from dirt and dog hair. It rolls up and secures with integrated hook and loop straps for easy portability and travel.
