Amazon's mega-seller donut bed: soft and fluffy, fully machine-washable, and many dogs love it. But Wirecutter dropped it because the fill shifted until its testers could feel the floor and the cover got grubby fast, and Amazon owners report it falling apart. The 'calming' and joint-relief wording is the maker's own claim.
Top complaints
- Thin fill that shifts
Wirecutter found its inserts thinner and flimsier than the Majestic bagel bed, and the fill moved so much that it left empty spots where testers could feel the floor.
Source: Wirecutter (NYT) - Falls apart for some owners
Amazon's summary says durability is mixed, with some owners reporting it falls apart and rips easily; negative durability mentions outnumber positive ones.
- Shag gets dirty and is hard to spot-clean
Wirecutter says the cover got gross quickly and was a pain to clean in its spot tests. Amazon owners are also mixed on whether it's worth the price, and on size (some find it a little large).
What owners love
- Soft, and dogs love it
Amazon's summary says customers find it comfortable, soft and fluffy, and that pets sleep well in it. A Spruce Pets writer who has fostered 70 dogs calls it one of her favorites.
- Whole bed goes in the washer
