Big Barker 7 Inch Pillow Top Orthopedic Dog Bed

Dad

Okay. New thing. What do you think?

Boldo

It's a bed. It's here. I have opinions but I need to investigate first. Give me space.

Dad

I'm going to need more than that. How does it smell?

Boldo

Chemical. Like a tire store mixed with whatever they use to seal seams. Underneath that is foam smell, which is fine. The cover smells neutral which is disappointing—I wanted something with history. Takes about three days for that new-product stench to stop being aggressive.

Dad

You seemed reluctant to try it. What happened when you did?

Boldo

The pillow top is actually firm, which is different from the old bed that had basically turned into a pancake. I hate admitting this, but my back doesn't hurt when I wake up. Also the piping on the edges is textured in a way that's satisfying to rest my head against. Is that treat time? I smell something in the kitchen.

Dad

Anything about this that actually impressed you? Be honest.

Boldo

The memory foam doesn't deflate after two weeks like every other bed you've bought. It still feels supportive in the corners, which usually flatten first. The bottom doesn't slip on the hardwood either. I've tried. Also the cover is washable, which you'll need because I'm going to get dirt on it and you're going to wash it obsessively like you do everything.

Dad

Final verdict. Don't hold back.

Boldo

This bed is genuinely good and it cost too much money and I'm angry about having to recommend it because now you'll probably buy expensive things. It's been four months and it hasn't collapsed. My joints feel better. I still don't trust you, but I trust this bed.
