content: At one time I would have agreed with you, however that's what good ones with washable covers cost. I have a little dog and a big dog. The little dog's bed was cheap and it has walls.  Big dog was also jealous and squeezing herself into it. I tried so many beds. She didn't like them. I finally decided to splurge for the same bed as little dog in her size. $150. She loves it and I can wash the covers so it doesn't stink. I'm a sucker, but they both have beds they like now
