    What about using shredded foam or foam chips. You can get them at just about any craft store or walmart carries it as well. It is a pretty big bag and costs less than $10 last time I got one.

    Can't help you there. My dogs' bed is my bed.

    I have found that the dog beds that Costco (may be Sam's club where you are) are very nice, big, but nice! They somehow repel doggy odors, and I love that! Good luck!

    Make covers with ties at the end about 6 in a row. Use denim like levi's. It is very durable. You can make it yourself. Use whatever kind of cushions you want. I think the best idea is cushions from a couch. IT would make a fun project.

    Hmmmm .... couch cushions, good idea.

    So is the foam stuff. We don't have a craft store here, but we have a Walmart. I'll look for them.

    Chica, maybe a fun project for someone ... but I don't even sew buttons on. LOL

    Thanks for the input, everyone.

    I have to admit one of our bed has held up wonderfully (4 years). We had bought it for Angus, but now it's Roxey's (the one she's 1/2 laying on)
    I only get ones with the egg crate filling inside. I've tried other ones but they just don't last, like you've said.
    I'm reading your post again...oops, sounds like this isn't a good option for you...lol!

    Christian's Mommy makes nice mats if you'd be interested in that. I have one in Bon's crate and one covering his bed (it has some holes)
    They are very nice.

    Hope you can find something that works for your group!

    My 4 dogs, though small, are going through beds quickly as well. They seem to feel the need for a MAJOR CONSTRUCTION project prior to settling down, each and every time. In addition to their OWN beds, they've 'dug' holes in TWO comforter covers on MY bed in the past 8 months!

    Sorry no help here, just sympathy, lol.
