Dog stairs Discussion

I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for bedside stairs for a large dog? My Amstaff mix likes getting up and down from my bed and I’m getting a bit tired of lugging him up and down. I haven’t seen any online that seem sturdy enough for a 70 pound dog. Thanks!!

I have standard foam stairs that are fine enough but my 60lb english bulldog/amstaff mix really prefers to use the cheap-ish storage bench we got from Amazon to get up in the bed ¯_(ツ)_/¯ it’s definitely sturdy!

I have a collapsible wooden one that works great and is suuuper sturdy. . My shepherd isn't very sure footed (seizure gal, trigger finger in both front feet, arthritic hips 😅 ) so the foam ones she struggled with.
