Any way my DH just measured the hight & width of our bed & copied the pic & I went to home depot & bought carpet to match the color of my bedding & used a staple gun to attach it & covered the whole ramp & we & the dogs Love it. I am going to make another one for the sofa that wraps around the side & comes up on the front corner so it's not sticking out in the room & also allows us more room on the sofa. It can also be covered with batting & fabric so it looks like an apholsterd piece of furniture.
It would be great if you could share a picture. Our bed is too high for Princess Sophie to jump off of, even though she tries on occasion. I get so worried when she jumps down that it will hurt her legs. So far she hasn't had any problems but I know she will, in time. My problem is that when she gets to the floor, she just torments Hansel.
