Well, the decision has been mulled over and finally made and I settled for a Baavet bed, because as @Selina27 mentioned it was firm but not Memory Foam (which Joy previously refused to sleep on.)
I was torn between the medium and large sizes, eventually settling for medium, as the measurements were the same as Joy's current bed.
When it arrived I put it inside a clean but now redundant duvet cover incase I needed to return it, which is just as well, because I did! Although the measurements were the same as her old bed, the new one was much firmer ( which I'd wanted, due to her arthritis), so whilst it was fine while she was curled up, she wasn't comfortable when it came to sprawling out on her back, which is how she always ends up. This meant posting it back, which was a bit of a palaver and cost over £14.00! I was somewhat in two minds about ordering another, incase she didn't like that one either, but thought I'd give the larger size a try, as I'd really liked the supportive feel of the bed and thought it might help with Joy's arthritis. Well, I have to say that I've been impressed with how pleasant and helpful the people at Baavet have been during our telephone conversations, and also with their prompt responses. Joy's larger bed arrived today, just two days after I returned the medium sized one. I have again put it inside an old duvet cover incase it needs to be returned and have put her familiar smelling blanket and old cushion on it and after a couple of suspicious looks at me, a spot of sniffing and only a small amount of digging , it looks as if she's happy with her new bed! Success!
Thankyou all for your advice!

How very sensible!
It's good to read that you had such good service from Baavet Candy. Good thing the larger size is more to Joys liking.

I was anticipating that she would be suspicious of a new bed. We can go to stay somewhere else and she settles perfectly happily into whatever is provided for her to sleep on (she's very polite!) but at home it has to be exactly right and must be inspected and sniffed Veryvery thoroughly before it's awarded the GGJ seal of approval!

Haha, I have a friend who has a GSD -- it took her 3 years to decide to even get on a new bed let alone sleep on it!
Yesterday I had to pick up a beautiful golden Lab who had got herself in a very dangerous situation and was wandering about on a busy main road, I was able to clip on my long line which just happened to be in the front of my car, and put her in the back of mine.
She was very reluctant to get in, she seemed to be very suspicious about Cassie's travelling bed but really that was not the place to be fussy!
She had a name tag on so I was able to quickly find the farm where she lived, she very happily jumped into the back of the farm truck, obviously much more her mode of travel! Open top and all that!
