DoggyStyle: The Pups' New Bed Arrives: The Orvis Deep Dish Lounger

While we've always liked using human decor as pet beds to give us more options, as our pups are aging we decided to invest in something more comfortable that will be a bit kinder on their joints.
And after a long search, and this great discussion, the bed that has been on backorder after backorder has finally arrived.
Enter, the Orvis Deep Dish Lounger in a size to fit both pups (with room for a third!)

E had been eyeing this bed for awhile, and now that we finally have the room we decided to make the investment.
Since it was something new, Miss M was quick to claim it as her own. Mr. B will only lay in it tentatively with one eye open anticipating the exact moment Miss M might appear and he becomes a pillow:

This bed is huge! We have an extra bedroom upstairs that we've dubbed "the dog bedroom". Ironically, it was the one room in the house that they never wanted to go in. So it lives in there. It takes up as much room as a dresser. Which we don't have in there. Because it is the dog bedroom.
While we've only had it for a few weeks, this is what we've noticed so far.

What We Like:
-The bed is super-plush and comfortable and it is the dogs' bed of choice. Once we brought this bed home, we didn't see Miss M for several days.
-We like that it has the bolsters as a type of built-in pillow. Since our dogs are pillow dogs. 
-We like that it has a type of cut-out front which will make it easier for the pups to enter and exit as their joints get a bit more rickety
-We like the color (remember how we are prone to gray?) and the velvet/microfiber texture which make it seem modern. The bolster and bed unzip separately, and it seems really well-constructed.
-With a name like "Deep Dish", it seemed destined for this Chicago family.

What We Don't Like:
-The bottom insert is stuffed with a polyester fill and we wanted it to be even more stable and plush. We ended up buying a foam egg crate bed topper to stuff inside to make it sturdier and more comfortable.
-For a dog bed, this thing is a fur magnet. It shows fur like crazy which will happen often. Because dogs sleep here.
-It is quite pricy and an investment. It cost around $200 which is similar to most large higher-end dog beds. Though we rationalized that our dogs are nearly pre-teens and if this is going to help them to be more comfortable than it was worth it to us (and we just really haven't gone out to eat for a long time).

We are still casually looking for another stable comfortable bed that we can have on the main floor so the pups don't need to climb as many stairs to get to the good bed.
And if we're looking for Miss M, now we always know where to find her.

Also:
We also have these beds that are perfect for people but not so great for dogs.
