The story: West Paw Design was nice enough to give me one of their Organic Bumper Beds for some of my rigorous product testing, which primarily involved an arduous routine of repeated lounging, relaxing and sleeping.

My initial take: this bed is super comfy,with a nice bumper surround on which to rest my handsome canine head. The organic cotton outer shell is warm, soft and sleep inducing. Now the problem – my big brother Jack – who, motivated by a particularly chilly New England night, got all cozy in my new bed (see picture below).

I had tap into my finely honed skills as a thespian and play my “I’m just a sad little dog” routine to get his butt out of there – and, given the comfy nature of the bed – it still took the humans two dog treats to get the job done.  Problem resolved, I then assumed my rightful place on the throne, content once again in my role as top dog.

The Eco Facts: The Organic Bumper Bed is made with a removable, earth-friendly organic cotton cover. The cushion used on the inside of the bed is made from 100% recycled IntelliLoft, which was previously plastic soda bottles. Since it takes less energy to clean and recycle plastic bottles than it does to make new plastic, you are not only helping keep plastic out of the landfill, but lowering your carbon footprint too. Perfect for allergic, sensitive or orthopedic pups.

The bed that West Paw provided me for testing is Stillwater Blue – very nice. Review: four paws up! (my highest rating.)
