So many options out there.....I'd like some reviews of furniture/bed ramps. Any thoughts?

I use foam ramps to my couch and recliner and love them, lightweight to move out of the way, nothing hard for humans to bump into yet sturdy for Clark to slide down them. Clark is paralyzed so he's a one way doggie. I don't have any experience using ramps to beds. I would want one side of the bed almost up against a wall with the ramp between the bed and the wall to keep them from shortcutting off of the ramp or some sort of rail. One of our Moderators who is on vacation has the Puppy Stairs foam ramp modules or she would be giving an update on her foam ramp. FYI they are not inexpensive! Here is what she wrote as a review: www.puppystairs.com“As an owner of a dachshund with IVDD (intervertebral disc disease) and a moderator on Dodgerslist.com, the premier IVDD information/support website, I am well aware of how important and necessary pet ramps are for the household in place of stairs. I highly recommend the ramps made by PuppyStairs. I have the one-piece deluxe ramp with cube and find it the perfect size for my dogs to safely get on and off my sofa. These ramps are very versatile and offer several height and length combinations to accommodate any size furniture! The individual pieces securely lock together with heavy-duty Velcro. I love how lightweight yet sturdy the ramps are! They are so easy to move from room to room. These ramps are very well-made – you won’t find any shortcuts here! The ramp covers are attractive and come in different styles and colors. I find the suede cover (so luxurious!) gives my dogs very good traction. I recommend PuppyStairs ramps for owners of IVDD-prone dog breeds such as the dachshund, shih tzu, poodle, Pekingese, French bulldog, beagle, Corgi, and other chondrodystrophic breeds. The owners of PuppyStairs truly care about dogs, and you won’t find better customer service. My thanks to PuppyStairs for making a quality product that helps protect our pups’ spines! -Lisa Sullivan”
