How thick is the mattress/pillow for the top bunk? I have a 90 lbs boxer who has hip problems. I'd like to make sure the top bunk has adequate padding

It's not a great mattress but you can put a thicker pad over or under it,that is what I did,just so you know it's pretty high,can your boxer jump up ok with his hip problem.it is a quality product,sturdy and I love it

Hello Nisha-I purchased this dog bunk bed last year for my dog (40 lbs). The bed comes with 2 mattresses and I put both on the top bunk for her, which was about 4 inches total in thickness. My concerns with your dog using it would be that the weight limit for the bunk bed is only 50 lbs. Also, with your dog having hip problems, there could be a challenge of them getting in and out due to the height of the top bunk. The bottom portion of the bunk would be too hard for the dog to get in and out of, for the openings are small. I can say this with confidence since I also have an 80 lb dog (lab/weimaraner mix) to compare size and function with. Hope this helps!

Add padding for your boxer. The padding Is good for my 50lb cocker spainel but once washed...they do then out.

We have a 101 lb weimaraniner, and he does great. The covers zip off so you could add to it or change it if needed. :)

I measured mine and its a little under 2.5inches thick however the pillow top it isn't sturdy at all and sinks all the way down with pressure from my cat. It comes with two pillows tops (one for the bottom bunk) you could double up. For me I ended up placing another dog bed on top of the pillow top and my animals love it! Hope this helps.

The pillow isn't thick at all, maybe a couple inches. We put our dog's memory foam bed (3" deep) that she's slept on when it was on the floor and she seems to love that added comfort. Not sure your pup would be able to climb in with hip problems as it is pretty high...

I would say you'd need an orthopedic type pad. The mattress isn't very padded or comfortable.

Hi Nisha,We purchased this bed for our 45lb pit/terrier mix and she loves it. The pad that comes with it isn't great but it isn't horrible. The pad is about 3-4 inches thick but the bottom is hard so that the bed keeps it's shape so I have considered buying the pad that goes with this bed. What I do is put a couple towels and blankets in the bed so she has more comfort. I would consider this bed more for keeping the dog out of your bed but u may have to add to the bedding for more comfort. Hope this helps!

The sleeper comes with a 2 inch mattress. I use it on the bottom bunk and put in a couple of rounded beds for them. For the top bunk, I use a regular kennel/crate pad with a round two inch bumper around the edge. I have little guys - under 20 pounds and the whole gang pile in and snuggle. This is a very well made piece. I have had it for several years now and it is still in excellent shape. I also put a big bean bag beside the bed so they can jump up on it and then to the top bunk. I tried the canine stairs, but the bean bag worked better for my pack. My crew absolutely LOVES this bed. Recommend highly. Hope this helps.... The sleeper comes with a 2 inch mattress.

It's probably about 1 1/2 inches thick - not real firm though. I have 2 boxers as well and they both love it. I add a couple of blankets in there for them to add some extra padding and think they are quite comfortable.

I did not see a warning label about the thickness of the mattress. I did buy also a 3 inch thick mattress. In the highest position the bed can go in, the warning may be because there is less room before a very active baby could go over the rail. This is just a guess on my part. I am planning on lowering the position of the mattress as soon as my grandson becomes an active roller.

Good Morning Matt - The top bunk requires 8" or less to meet the ASTM safety guidelines. The bottom bunk can accommodate any thickness. If you get a trundle you would need a 6" mattress in order to be able to close it freely. Thank you for allowing me to assist you - from the #1 Discovery World Furniture seller on Amazon - Dreamscape Furniture:) Feel free to call me at 8007719330 if you need further assistance. Scott

If your kids are not to busy with bouncing and such its not bad. Ive even layed on the top bunk and I am 135 lbs. The wood is not the best quality. My kids have had this bunkbeds for over a year and there are cracks. You do get what you pay for in this situation.

We have had this bunkbed for 2 mos. it is not great quality and my hubby has actually had to add things to it to make more stable . There were not enough slats for top bunk so if too much weight was on top mattress would've Fallen through .

bedding is firm,but has a softness to it, i am 64 yrs. old and i sleep very well in it.another thing , there is no way you can jump on it, you may prefer to buy a thicker mattress.

The bunk has bars that go vertical and support a matress. I have used a regular matress. The space between the top and bottom is kind of limited.

We bought a regular size for thickness mattress for the top bunk. The rails are plenty high enough to keep kids from rolling off. Our daughter is nearly 5 so she doesn't sleep up there yet since our youngest daughter is almost two and is still in a toddler bed. But I would let our 4yr old definitely nap up there so I wasn't worried about her needing to go potty in the middle of the night! The rails are sturdy but the middle piece that screws into the top and the bottom rail did not have holes in place already and we have never put it on! They are still pretty sturdy without!

My husband, who was 280 lbs. when we bought the topper, felt it was too soft/not firm enough. After losing 70 pounds, he now feels it's just right. So I agree with the individual who suggested your son might prefer a more dense/thicker topper. If you can find a denser mattress by this manufacturer, it would be a good purchase. I love our topper, by the way.

I have a 90 lb boxer, approximately 9 years old. (He's a rescue dog, so we're not sure of his exact age.) I've made 3 significant investments for him that I simply don't regret. The first was this bed. He needed something large enough for his entire body to fit on when he stretched out on his side. As for the foam, I think that is the best part. He moves slowly and with a slight limp, mostly in the mornings after laying down all night. I can't imagine how much worse that would be without the the foam padding to cushion his old bones. The other two investments, in case you're wondering, is an elevated feeding bowl (Neater Feeder) and a bigger doggie door so he didn't have to stoop so far down to go outside.

I suffer from arthritis of the hip, some people like the mattresses a little bit softer, I'd say this one is between soft and firm, but to my peace of mind, all the pain I used to sleep and wake up with has gone away since I started sleeping on it. I really hope you can find it as relieving as I have. Good luck!

Technically, I don't know but I go on the top bunk all the time to change the sheets. I'm 140 pounds. This bed is very sturdy and I never feel like I shouldn't be up there. Hope this helps.

Any mattress works for the bottom bunk, but for the top you dont want to have a mattress that has a pillow top on it

I think my top mattress is about 5 inches thick. The bottom is closer to 8 inches. I'll check again to make sure. We've had the bed for. Month for two girls ages 6 & 4. No complaints!

Im 190 lbs and when my son is sick I sleep with him (45 lbs) on the top bunk and it seem really sturdy.. Just as long as the child(ren) arnt jumping on it or horsing around, it should hold a pretty good amount! Hope I helped :)

We have three Bichon Frise 'kids'. They all use the large bed. They are young and light in weight. They have no problem using this bed. It has maintained its firmness. We have had it for several months. Maybe if your dog is very heavy it might have an issue with its paws leaving a quick (not lasting) imprint on the bed, but not the cover. I would recommend giving it a try.
