Your Best Buddy | Every Buddy Mat

Introducing the Every Buddy Mat — a gel-free (yes, even free of “non-toxic” gels) mat designed for every animal and everyone alike. That’s right, it’s perfect for hoomans too!

Your Best Buddy's mats are portable, lightweight, breathable, and incredibly comfortable. Forget the usual harsh blue colour you normally see; our neutral tones blend seamlessly into your home—whether on the floor, in crates, on couches, beds, or even in your car. With multiple uses from pets, babies, sleeping and post op recovery.

The Every Buddy Mat uses fabric cooling technology, popular across many Asian countries. Its self-cooling outer layer delivers cool gentle temperature regulation, while the cotton filling ensures softness and comfort. The bottom features reverse-venting mesh and an anti-slip surface. Fabric cooling mats are designed for gentle, breathable relief — perfect for everyday comfort and temperature regulation. Unlike gel cooling mats, which offer a more intense and immediate cooling effect, fabric mats work by promoting airflow and dissipating heat gradually. They're ideal for those who prefer a softer, more natural feel and are sensitive to colder surfaces. Wanting something to compare it to? Think Ecosa's human bedroom cooling range or Barney Bed and Holly Paws' pet bed cooling covers.

Nothing should be used in isolation though! Use their mats with other cooling strategies - plenty of cool drinking water, shade and air (that goes for both pets and humans).

Currently available in 2 sizes and colours. Stock is limited on Smack Bang.

Please note: When the mats arrive they will have absorbed heat during transport. Open the parcel and let them be. A cool/airy, non sunny spot is ideal. Need it faster or want results comparable to gel mats? You can place the mat in the fridge or freezer prior to and during use. You will need to do this on very warm days or if you intend to use the mat outside.

Care: Hand wash or machine wash with cool water.
