I am delighted with the mat purchased for Teddy. I looked for a good bed for him because he has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and I was hoping that a comfortable bed might distract him a little from the regime we now have to follow. I was hoping he might relax and sleep more if comfortable and that this might ease the slight difficulties we are having because of his strict feeding timetable. He absolutely loves the mat and uses the height of it in interesting ways. He does stretch out on it but he also lies on the floor with his legs elevated on the mat. On the first evening I put his toys on the mat and unusually he threw them off and just snuggled into it. He uses the mat in the kitchen for most of the day and I then move it into another room while we watch tv in the evening. The mat is easy to move. I did think it was expensive but it sounded as if it was quality from the online description and I am very very happy with it. Excellent product.
