The problem with dog beds is that however "nice" they are, they get smelly over time, so you either need something that can be washed (the whole thing, not just a cover, if it's not waterproof - the filling retains the smell as well), or you have to resign yourself to replacing the bed frequently.
I have a fab bed for my dog (who is a chewer, and also a mud-monster) which is made from tough, waterproof rucksack fabric. It is great, because the foam inner is protected from the smell by the waterproof fabric, so I just change between two outer covers for washing, and her bed smells acceptable to humans! It's the lowest maintenance and longest-lasting bed I've ever found. FWIW, I found memory foam a disaster for smelliness, and even the polystyrene beans in an old beanbag that my mad greyhound adored got really smelly.
Rather than spending all that money on a bed, I would put the money in a pot (assuming that you just want to spend it on your dog, and that is your priority for it) - and buy an occasional new toy/training treat/bone, or even buy a year's membership of somewhere you like to take her - I think it would be more fun, and more appreciated by you both
