Review: Bedsure Foldable Human Dog Bed was always going to be a 5-star review
Why I became an Amazon and Impact Marketing affiliate
I hated selling both of my fiction novels. It’s not that I was opposed to selling things or even commission sales. It’s just so much easier to sell something I have no attachment to and I think is just “cool as hell” to buy. From my Olympia Sales Club days ($2 per item) to my Girl Scout days to my radio research firm days, if it’s cool, count me in. It’s one of many reasons I’ve been very particular about which brands I would promote on all six of my Substack publications from Impact Marketing and Amazon Affiliate.
With “Change for a Twenty” or “Round Trip,” I’m too emotionally invested when someone says “no.” But with items I promote from third parties, I can shrug and go about my day either way.
Every blue moon though, I come across a product that I really want everybody to buy. It’s the kind of item I keep staring at. Bedsure Foldable Human Dog Bed is one of those items. I kept telling myself, “Don’t buy this bed. Just promote it. You already have two couches that you brush, vacuum and shampoo on Sweeper Sundays. Why would you get another one?”
I even tried rationalizing that it would take up too much room during my morning workouts. But the Bedsure dog couch is foldable, and I had plenty of room to do yoga and dance once I moved an end table.
My final internal fight was playing Biggie’s mantra about “never get high on your own supply.” I knew that fight well after eating far too many Girl Scout cookies and buying all the stationery one woman could handle from Olympia Sales Club. Sure, I made sales. But I kept buying more stuff than the customers.

I gave in. I wanted this dog bed! And as I suspected, it’s an absolute hit. I love the bed almost as much as Junee. Check out what happened when I realized this was a lightweight DIY project, Junee’s initial reaction to the human-dog bed and the final results.
Step 1: Cry internal tears when I realized the bed didn’t come fully assembled.
Step 2: Stare aimlessly around the room, re-opening both boxes to figure out where the instructions are.
Step 3: Watch this video and realize this is a completely different bed but the same brand. Cry internal tears again.
Step 4: Look at that piece of cardboard paper I flung across the room to pull out the bed parts. Realize that when I flipped it over, the instructions were on the other side.
Step 5: Junee is wary of this big, low couch in my living room and doesn’t quite know what to do with it.
Step 6: I’m tickled by how small she looks on this huge dog bed.
Step 7: Junee (sorta) gives her final opinion.
Jackie’s here. It’s a two-time hit.
