1. I bought my sweetie one a couple months ago because she is too old to risk falling off the bed (14 1/2)

She hasn't slept on it once. (I do have an egg crate foam pad on the floor covered with a sheet and a big stuffed dog that she will sleep on--, but I missed snuggling with her, so you can probably guess what happened next*

*Yup, I bought a folding three-section cushion for the floor from Amazon and covered it in a nice set of bamboo sheets. With my feather comforter in the duvet, it is not that bad, really, and with a couple of good pillows under my head and knees, I've managed to learn to sleep on my back, sans my too-soft and too-high mattress... She sleeps just beside me. What we do for our beloved furry babes.
