Frequently Asked Questions
What are the temperature ratings and insulation properties of the sleeping gear offered by Born Outdoor?
At Born Outdoor, we offer high-quality sleeping gear tailored to different temperature ranges to ensure comfort during outdoor adventures. While the Badger Bed system hasn't undergone official ASTM temperature testing (as ASTM International doesn't currently have a standard for modular sleep systems), we can provide estimated temperature ratings based on the insulation and fabric specifications of our individual components.
It's important to note that temperature comfort is highly subjective and depends on a variety of personal factors, including your metabolism, insulation preference, and willingness to tolerate cooler conditions. Environmental conditions like humidity and wind can also impact thermal performance. We recommend considering these variables when selecting the right Badger Bed setup for your needs.
That said, here are the estimated temperature ranges for some common Badger Bed configurations:
Product
Temperature Rating
Therm-A-Rest MondoKing Mattress (R7 insulation)
Good to approximately -45°F/-43°C
Badger Bed Baja Bundle (MondoKing, Baja Quilt, Sonoran Sheets)
Estimated comfort range of 40°F/4°C and above
Badger Bed Sierra Bundle (MondoKing, Sierra Quilt, Cascade Flannel Sheets)
Estimated comfort range of 30°F/-1°C and above
Add a Baja Quilt for comfort down to 10°F/-12°C
Add a second Sierra Down Quilt for comfort down to 0°F/-18°C
Add a Frontier Wool Quilt for comfort down to-10°F/-23°C
Please note that these are general estimates based on our field testing in ground tents without additional heat sources. Your actual experience may vary. If you have any other questions about selecting the right Badger Bed setup for your needs, don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team.

Is your Badger Bed Shell Waterproof?
Water-Resistant, Not Waterproof
The bottom material of the Badger Bed shell is constructed with high-quality, weather-resistant materials that can withstand exposure to the elements. This includes wind, rain, and snow without compromising the integrity or functionality of the shell.
The top layer of the Badger Bed Shell is designed with breathable materials to allow moisture to escape and prevent the buildup of condensation. This layer is also treated with a durable water-repellent (DWR) coating, which provides an additional barrier against moisture. While it can withstand some moisture, it is not a fully waterproof shelter like a bivy sack. For activities that may involve extended exposure to heavy rain or other extreme weather conditions, you may want to consider a more specialized waterproof shelter.
If you have any other questions about the water-resistance of our products or need help selecting the right gear for your adventures, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team. We're happy to provide more details to ensure you have the appropriate equipment for your needs.
What is the warranty on the Badger Bed products?
All Badger Bed components come with a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. If you experience any issues with your gear, please reach out to our customer support team and we'll be happy to assist.
How do I clean and maintain my Badger Bed?
The Badger Bed components are designed for easy care and cleaning. The sheets, and quilts can be machine washed and using gentle cycles and a tech or down wash (e.g. Nikwax) for cleaning. We recommend using the low heat setting and delicate cycle on your dryer of the quilts. For the duffel bags and Badger Bed shell, we recommend spot cleaning as needed and air drying. Avoid using high heat settings, harsh detergents or bleach. Refer to the specific care instructions for each product.
Can I mix and match Badger Bed components?
Yes, the modular Badger Bed system is designed to allow you to customize your sleep setup. All the components are compatible, so you can pick and choose the mattress, sheets, quilts, and other accessories that best fit your needs and preferences.
Do you offer any Badger Bed accessories?
In addition to the core Badger Bed products, we also offer a variety of compatible accessories, including ground tarps or footprints, mud mats, and duffel bags to store your bedroll. You can view the full selection on our website.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all Badger Bed purchases. If you're not fully satisfied with your order for any reason, you can return the unused items for a full refund. Some exclusions may apply, so please refer to our full returns policy for details.
