About
Longtime foster of senior and sensitive dogs who studies sleep styles, collaborates with rehab pros, and turns comfort science into simple choices.
Core Beliefs
True comfort starts with alignment and temperature balance, not just plushness.
Background
Fostering a 12-year-old shepherd taught me softness isn't support. He woke stiff until I matched his side-sleeper curl to a bolstered, medium-firm foam that kept him cooler. The first morning he rose without hesitation. That moment convinced me to read sleep posture first, then pick materials to honor it.
Perspective
I prefer medium-firm, supportive cores with bolsters sized to a dog’s sleep style and breathable covers.
