Beds have been trial and error for us. Our last Bully would destroy a bed in 30 minutes, but 3 or 4 towels from Wal-Mart would last a couple of months. Go figure. Ellie Mae though, loves her bed and chews on it lightly, but not enough to damage it. The washing machine is a different story. It has destroyed 2 beds for Ellie Mae. I'm sure my cheap butt is partially to blame as I got them from some discount stores, but they both ripped open after the 2nd wash. Fluff and stuffing was EVERYWHERE!
