High upon a hillside
How do you know if your dog will like one?

I have decided that in our nice room an elevated bed like a hik9 would be ideal, mesh so there's lot of airflow (heated floor and hot dog!) plus there won't be any lingering smell, he can be a bit of a stinky dog sometimes. I just worry about buying it, and him hating it. Has anyone got one and had this? I don't know anyone with one I can try out first.
Currently he doesn't even really like lying in our big room (we did a big extension) and lies in what used to be our living room, which is now a play room as he can look out of the window the easiest in there. Currently wonder if I should buy him a bed at all but as an aging GSD x Rottie I think this bed would be good for his joints.
I will buy him a tuffies bed or similar to replace the 'bed' where he lies now, currently two cushions with a hair attracting fleece on top, and eventually when the OH is not looking another one for under the stairs which is his den, and nice cold tiled floor with no heating underneath!
