Hi Missie
Found this for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgNURpEd8cE
You can build a plain wooden box, pad the sides, and put the comforter in it for bedding. The wood can be painted or stained. It would really cute to add things like a bones and paw prints on the box.
Hello. One of my favorite dog beds is from the thrift store— likely one like I would never be able to afford to purchase. If you could use your comforter and sew a border surround to insert a bolster —even stuff with a a couple pool noodles it might give your dog bed some nice form and function.
