This was an old comforter I bought at Good Will two years ago for Rufus. It cost $6. Most of the dog beds are not really washable and become lumpy and dirty fairly fast, and are quite expensive. In the past, I used old comforters and folded then for bulk, to make a soft dog bed. Those can be washed but can be too big for the washer/dryer. This one was king size, so I never used it. No way would it fit in our washer. I didn't notice that when I bought it.
Today I got it out and cut it into quarters, then hemmed the edges. That made four pillowy minicomforters that can be folded in half or thirds and stacked for the little "prince and the pea.". Plus, they are a nice washable / dryable size for Mr. Muddy Paws. I think these will last longer than a bought purpose-made dog bed, and he likes them.
Reuse, repurpose, upcycle, whatever. Plus cheap.
