Why it matters
The mat uses a cool-touch fabric layer that the listing says changes from deep blue to lighter as it absorbs your dog's heat. The interior is waterproof and the bottom non-slip.
The XL is 44 x 32 x 0.8 in with a 90 lb listed maximum. Rywell notes that room temperature affects how cool it gets and recommends using it with air conditioning.
