Comfy bed, but cover quickly destroyed with only light wear

We've had our Casper bed for about a year and a half. My greyhound loves the bed—she's all bones, and the mattress has held up well over the time we've had it, providing much needed support to her gangly self. I can't recommend the bed, though—here's why:
Just after the year anniversary of buying the mattress, holes began to appear in the cover around the bumpers. Now the cover is in tatters, and replacing the cover through Casper costs a significant portion of the bed's original cost. My dog doesn't aggressively dig—just paws around before laying down—so this is just from reasonable wear and tear.
I was surprised about the problem with the cover since we've never had a problem with lower end dog beds, and have had them last much longer than the Casper bed for much less cost. I feel trapped into buying an expensive replacement cover that I know will have the same problem a year from now.
My terrier mix, Vinny, was trying to lay on the cover before I could get everything out of the package. He’s a comfort hog! I ordered the large, which is probably a little big for his 35 lbs. if my other dog shows any interest I may order the small next, even though she’s 35lbs too.
I bought this bed for our 9 year old dog. She scratches and digs this bed and it seems to be holding up very well. Its durable yet soft. I like to think that she loves it given that she sleeps on it every night. I'm pleased with this purchase!
She loves the bed and uses all the features such as the side bolsters to lay her head over or to burrow her side into. She will also dig on the middle of the bed with no damage to the center. She definitely loves it and spends more time on it than our sofa.
My husband and I loved the specialty in packaging and toy that came with it. Completely thought of a dog being a family member.
