The Ashton bed is built with a soft polyester cover over a cushioned base and raised bolster sides that are stuffed with poly-fiber filling. The bolstered edges give a dog a place to rest its head or lean against while the padded center supports the rest of the body. It is sized to fit inside a matching wire dog crate to create a den-like resting spot, though it also works as a freestanding bed placed on the floor. The mushroom and white diamond print is designed to blend with home decor. The bed can be machine washed and dried, making regular cleaning straightforward. No tools or assembly are needed before use; the bed is ready to place in a crate or on the floor.
