Best Sleep Outside
A Cuddle Buddy is a sleeping pad cover made for rafting, camping, car camping, and nights outside. Think of it like a fitted sheet for your camp pad — but cozier, more durable, and a whole lot more FunLuvin.
Our original Cuddle Buddies are reversible, with soft jersey knit cotton on one side and cozy fleece on the other. Flip it depending on the weather, your trip, or how much warmth you want in your sleep setup.
We also carry a Summer Cuddle Buddy which is a light weight more compact option for cozy sleep made with our jersey knit cotton fabric.

Cuddle Buddy FAQ
What is a Cuddle Buddy?
A Cuddle Buddy is a sleeping pad cover made for rafting, camping, car camping, and cozy nights outside. Think of it like a fitted sheet for your sleeping pad — but softer, warmer, washable, and way more FunLuvin.
Our original Cuddle Buddies are reversible, with soft jersey knit cotton on one side and cozy fleece on the other.
Is it worth it?
We have a feeling if you ask around you'll get some good reviews. 😉
A Cuddle Buddy is made to be used trip after trip, season after season. Each one uses about 5 yards of fabric and is designed to add real comfort to your outdoor sleep setup — not just look cute in camp.
It gives your sleeping pad a softer, cleaner, warmer, more inviting feel, and because it’s reversible, you can use it for both warm and cold trips. It’s a camp comfort upgrade you’ll reach for every time you sleep outside.
How does a Cuddle Buddy fit on my sleeping pad?
A Cuddle Buddy is designed to slip over your sleeping pad like a fitted sheet. It wraps around the pad to create a soft, washable layer between you and your camp setup.
Cuddle Buddies are made as a universal fit for most standard sleeping pads used for rafting, camping, and car camping. Fit may vary depending on your pad’s size, shape, and thickness, but the design is meant to work across a wide range of outdoor sleeping pads.
Will it fit a Paco Pad or river sleeping pad?
Yes — Cuddle Buddies were originally designed with rafting sleep setups in mind and are made to fit most sleeping pads used on river trips. Even those extra cushy Aire pads.
Because every pad brand and size is a little different, fit can vary, but the goal is a flexible, universal-style fit that works well for rafting, camping, and car camping pads.
Can I use it on hot trips?
Yes. On warmer trips, flip the original Cuddle Buddy so the jersey knit cotton side is facing up. The cotton side gives you a softer, cleaner place to sleep without adding as much warmth as the fleece side.
For very warm trips, check out the Summer Cuddle Buddy, which is made without the fleece side for a lighter, more breathable feel.
Can I use it on cold trips?
Absolutely. On colder trips, flip the original Cuddle Buddy so the fleece side is facing up for extra warmth and cozy comfort.
It’s especially nice for early-season river trips, fall camping, chilly desert nights, car camping, and any trip where your sleeping pad could use a little more softness and warmth.
What is the difference between the original Cuddle Buddy and the Summer Cuddle Buddy?
The original Cuddle Buddy is reversible, with jersey knit cotton on one side and cozy fleece on the other. It’s the most versatile option for hot and cold trips.
The Summer Cuddle Buddy is the lighter version. It is made without the fleece side, making it a better fit for warm river trips, desert camping, summer nights, and anyone who wants a breathable sleeping pad cover. It packs down to about half the size of the OG Cuddle Buddy for a smaller sleep kit.
How do I wash my Cuddle Buddy?
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low or hang to dry.
Wash it after trips, let it fully dry, and pack it back into your river kit, camp bin, truck camper, or sleep setup for the next adventure.
Is a Cuddle Buddy only for river trips?
No. Cuddle Buddies were born from river life, but they are great for rafting, camping, car camping, road trips, truck camping, tent camping, guest sleep setups, and anyone who wants their sleeping pad to feel more comfortable.
