Buddy loves his bed. 
I bought a cover for the cushion part that he lays on from MollyMutt.com so I could just wash that instead of the whole cushion. The outer part of the bed all unzips for washing too. It was a trick getting it back on, but it's doable.
It's right next to my side of our bed with a 5x7 area rug underneath. Just to protect the wall to wall carpet a bit.
