If your pet soils his or her bed, simply hand washing this Luxury Forgiveness Dog Crate Pad with soap and water will not only eliminate odors but rid the mattress of dust mites, bed bugs, allergens and other contaminates that generally build up in mattresses over time. Forgiveness mattress is made from a 2” thick spun recycled material, low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and lasts twice as long as foam mattress. In addition to being the most sanitary mattress on the market, it’s also among the most comfortable because LDPE is breathable and won’t hold heat.  Forgiveness is a game changer and a breakthrough in sanitary sleep and comfort for your pet.
