<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The boyz have a custom bed that is so comfortable
that I would not think twice about sleeping on it....with clean sheets mind
you. I was able to get a big, thick peice of foam with egg crate
foam glued to the top from one of our shipments of very exspensive manikins.
However I have seen the same foam at JoAnn's fabrics. You would just have
to glue the 2 peices together. I then bought a plastic matress covering
from Target for about $10.00 (the kind that goes on kids beds that are bed
wetters) I took the old broken down orthopedic beds from Sams club and put them
on top, this gives the bed a "pillow top" optional of course and if you wanted
the pillow top protected from pee you could get larger plastic matress
cover that would accomedate both the foam and old dog beds. I put a sheet on top
to help protect the old dog beds and then a fitted sheet to hold it all
together. During the winter I add a large pillow/mattress case that my neighbor
sewed together for me, to incapsulate the whole bed for added warmth and more
snuggle power. The winter case is made of a fuzzy faux fur blanket that I
found at a thrift store and the bottem is an old heavey duty material that used
to be a couch cover. The covers & fitted sheets are easily removed, shaken
out, wash dried and put back onto the bed. I have 3 fitted sheets for
summer so I can rotate them and not have to wash them immediatly after removal
if I don't want to. All of my fitted sheets where bought at the thrift
store for less then $5...most at $2-3. If you can sew or know
someone that you can bribe then you can make all kinds of washable covers on the
cheap. Thrift usally have old blankets, sheets, and couch covers that can
be repurposed. Also you can check at fabric stores for reminantes. You
might even be able to get a reminate peice of foam from an upholstry shop.
The boyz love there bed...theirs is what I call a King Basset dog bed, it is
about the size of a kids bunk bed matress. large enough for 2 hounds to
totally stretch out on. </FONT></DIV>
