SMALL dog bed size : good for a small Spaniel, Dachshund or Frenchie : the small bed central cushion takes 6 or so jumpers and the bolster takes about 10 so that it stays firm and comfy. Gather together as many jumpers, cardigans and sweatshirts as you can.
MEDIUM size : good for big Spaniels, Cockapoos and Corgis : a medium sized dog bed will take a stack of old jumpers in the bolster and 8 or more jumpers in the central cushion.

XL : suitable for big dogs : we suggest large, bulky, soft items to fill a XL dog bed, the bolster will take old pillows and a big bag of old jumpers, scarves and similar would fill the central cushion.
STEP 2 : STUFF THE CENTRAL CUSHION.
Take time to push the stuffing right to the edges and tightly in.
The cushion has a central pin stitch to help your dog form an indent, as they do from instinct, as they would in the wild. Stuff around the pin stitch.
Shake and plump when full.
