Does the bed compress for travel? I am going on a road trip and looking for a bed or mat I can take with me but large enough for 2 big dogs.

It does not compress once you open from the original shrink wrap packaging. However, it is not heavy to maneuver, if this helps.

Larry - This is a wonderful product. It's quite BIG! It might be just as big if not bigger than your touring pack. It came to me in a large box. Make no mistake - this is almost the size of my King size bed - which is the reason I purchased it (as extra bedding for those cold PA nights on the farm). No matter what - I think it was a great purchase. I hope you come to the same conclusion.

Yes, it compresses and rolls into the sack it comes with making it much smaller. I simply clipped mine to the outside of my carry on backpack.

My dog loves this bed. We use it in our trailer when camping. I've washed it twice and it cleans well. The padding does not bunch up when it is washed.

No and no.. Sorry!! We have another pack and play that we travel with, and the one with the mattress stays home. It's amazing quality so it's thickness prevents it from folding.

If your dogs are OK together, this carrier would be fine to contain both (lots of room for a couple of 2 lb. dogs). I'm wondering if you can get by with paying for just one dog since they'd fit in one regulation carrier? There is a mesh (expanding) pocket on one end and a side pocket. I can put a leash in one & a baggie of snacks, collapsible water dish & poop bags in the pockets. I store 2 folded pee pads under the removeable lambs wool (faux) liner inside the carrier. This carrier is well made & the inside washes out easily if needed. I love the wheels, although with your bouncy light-weight dogs, it might be a bit tippy as you pull it. I have no problem with pulling my 19 lb. dashound mix. Happy travels!

Have an 27 lb Chinese pug who has traveled the past 7 weeks in our carrier (it has been broken down to half capacity) he has done wonderfully in it, but not sure how a larger dog would do in it. He has. Had plenty of room but is a third of the size being asked about.

I use it when my dog(Brittney 35lbs to 40lbs) had leg surgery. She sleep on it with me for a week or two with no problems. I've own the mattress for a long time (4 to 6 years)and my grandchildren have used it and the dog has sleep with them too. My wife has use it camping with the grandchild too.My dogs nails are cut or worn down from walks, but still long. So it's worked for me. To Me one of the best cheap air mattress I've found. IMO, I plan on buying another one.

My dog just reached 6 lbs and it is large enough for him to sleep in, use it in place of a kennel at night. It is just large enough for him and folds easily. It would probably tip over easily with a larger dog. He is very hyperactive and has had no problems with it. We use it for travel. It does collapse easily though. My cats love to sleep in it. It is a very good travel kennel as it folds easily and is portable.

What mat? I only used this product by itself. I had that thing packed to its fullest capacity and it was strapped down perfectly. It did not move an inch, so if you do things very safely and securely, you should not have a problem. Hope this helps.

sorry I can't help. he xlg I bought is big enough for two big dogs. I'd try to contact seller/source: dog bed king. it's hard to get precise product info.

Unfortunately it is difficult to transport. Not like a regular cage that folds down. I guess you could unscrew it and disassemble it. When we go out of town and my cousin watches our dogs for us, we just roll it out to our van and put the whole thing in. It does move easily it's just bulky. Aside from that it's great!!!

You should have no problem! Mine , when completely folded down is no more than 6 inches thick. I don't know for sure because I have bedding and everything that I put in with it before I folded up. But it really does fold flat. It clips and even has a handle to lift it in and out kind of like a suitcase. Be aware that it might rattle in your car. You might need to add a towel or a blanket or something to help stabilize the sides so that you don't have to listen to it rattle as you drive. I love this kennel for travel. It folds easily and is really really nice.

You take it apart same way you put together... Our dog does great in it, but she is only 10 lbs.. A larger dog might be able to damage the carrier. We put a soft bed in there for her when we travel.

This mat travels well and easily folds for storage. It works so well that we use it more than the dog! Lol Wonderful product!
