Does the cover on the bed feel like plastic? Is it soft? How well do you think it will stand up to chewing?

the cover is a strong material is strong an almost canvass feel to it. I don;t think anything in a bed will stand up to chewing. I also put a small sheet over it, easier to shake off dog hair and wash it.

No - it doesn't feel like plastic. I think that it should hold up well to some chewing. Of course, I would be making sure that your fur baby knows what he/she is allowed to chew on.Ican tell you that my 14 1/2 year old beautiful fur dog absolutely loved this bed. It was wonderful for all of her arthritic aches and pains and she used it until the day we had to say goodbye.It is now being used by my two fur kitties who also love the bed which actually molds to you like a temperpedic.

The denim cover is very comfortable. My grandson even likes laying on it. I don't know about chewing.

The cover is not soft but similar to a jean material and easily machine washable. As far chewing, it would depend on how intense the chewing is. My German Shepherd is not interested in chewing the material. I recommend this bed and so does my German Shepherd.

The cover on the bed feels like soft denim. I always throw a soft blanket on top of the bed so I don't have to take the cover off and wash it as often. It's just easier to wash a blanket! It will NOT stand up to chewing, so if your pooch is a chewer, then I definitely recommend blankets on top to dissuade naughty habits. The bed itself is awesome... wish I had found it earlier.

The pull part of the zipper is metal but I think the teeth are plastic. I have washed this many times, in fact I just washed it last night and put it back on the bed this morning. It is like new. I would recommend this cover, it seems very sturdy. PS....I have two min pins and a boxer that use this bed.

It is very firm. When I push on it it doesn't cause an impression. I imagine you are worrying that when a baby is lying on it either is to hard - which I don't think it is just firm - or to soft to worry about the baby and breathing. I don't see that as an issue, but that is my opinion. I do plan to use a mattress pad cover and then of course a decorative sheet. I hope this helps. I like this mattress.

It's not that thin stuff that tears right away. It's a heavier-duty plastic. It's pretty sturdy. I'm sorry I don't know how to measure the thickness. I've had it on the bed for months now and it's still as good as when I first got it.

Though it is some sort of plastic, but not hard that it is stiff and not soft that it is flexible. On a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being soft and 10 being hard, I would give it an 8. It is quite durable, but not too hard that a teething child would hurt himself with. My 6-year old enjoys it in the tub because it is not too hard for him to play with, though I think he would like it more if it were squishy, but that's another issue.

I believe it is soft like the sides with a extra layer. I gave it to someone else so do not have it here. For my breed (bullmastiff) I did not feel it was a safe containment. I felt it was too flimsy and they would tear right out of it..

Bought this around Christmas, I'm not sure of the specifics of the material. It is very soft material, fluffy on one side. It feel just like the blanket that I purchased for $50+ at Restoration Hardware. My dogs love it!

Feels like a very strong plastic. I have mine for several years, and just bought one for my mother.

Mine does not make a plastic crinkly noise, it's really quiet and I can't really think of a noise it makes. The material feels like a woven fabric, just slightly stiffer/slicker. It is slicker than a feather comforter so I do have to anchor it in the duvet.

It is cloth and plastic and easily chewed. I would recommend using a wire crate until you are sure they won't chew. A good test is a dog bed in the wire crate, if they are over 6 months (past teething) and don't chew up a bed left with them you could try a soft crate.

I think it is somewhat stiff, but does hold it's shape as a result. My daughter got hers last Christmas, and has had it at the foot of her bed ever since. It looks exactly the same, which is good. However, on the other hand, it has never been a snuggling toy. I hope this is helpful to you. Happy holidays!

It's material. It feels like the top is suede and the bottom is polyester. We had the same problem with our old cover - this one does not have that issue!! - Jen

It is soft and pliable. I also feel that it is a good quality product for the price and have been very satisfied with it.

It's pretty tough plastic. About 8" bed and 4" more for hitch/yoke. 8 yr old son is getting good use and longer use of his playmobil men. Make sure you have a truck to tow it with. :)

I think its a great bed. Its not a fluffy bed and it keeps its shape really well. Mine love it! Hope the little guy gets feeling better!

It is plush on lying down-does't feel hard on my old bones-but it is not saggy. I have been sleeping on mine for 3 months and find it extremely comfortable. It is also a bit on the entertaining side when you first get it as it is folded in half lengthwise and then rolled up in clear plastic. It is heavy an it was good to have help getting it up on the box spring. Figure out which way it will unroll before you start unwrapping as it takes off and does it's thing when you start removing the plastic wrap! Poof and you have a mattress! I love mine. I loved the price.

the top of the bed has a thick fuzzy material. it seems to be strong. my labs are not diggers on the bed so can't tell how it will hold up..have had for 3 months and no signs of damage. plus the stuffing seems to be firm. the beds havent flattened out like some others i've had..i will buy more..need a couple for my car
