Smile Egg crate foam or Memory foam?

When it comes to orthopedic dog beds which do you prefer? They both have their benefits but what do you like? I cant decide whether I want something that lasts or something made more for joints...

Egg crate foam
- It shapes to the dogs body but then it makes a deep bowl shape (It will stay that way)
+ Used in hospitals for spine and back injuries
+Allows air to flow so it doesnt heat up as fast

Memory foam
+ It will shape to the dogs body and then pop back up (lasting longer)
- Retains heat
+ Better sleep

Is there any other kind of orthopedic material you use? She doesn't have HD (that I know of... she is too young to get her hips checked) but she seems to kinda fall sometimes or you know how your knee lets go sometimes its like that... Plus I want to keep her off the hard ground and want the best bed.

What do you guys think? Because I cant be paying $50-$100 each time she needs a new bed... So I need help. Any comments are welcomed C: Thanks!
