Dual Heated Comfort for Camping, Cabins and Canadian Outdoor Living
KUMA Bear Buddy Heated Double Chair
The best seat at camp just got big enough to share.
The KUMA Bear Buddy Heated Chair combines the comfort of KUMA’s oversized double camping chair with two independently heated seats, giving each person control over their own side.
Each seat has its own KUMA ADDHEAT Control System, manual controls, Bluetooth™ connectivity and dedicated 10,000mAh USB-C power bank. One person can turn the heat up while the other keeps it low, medium or completely off.
Whether you are sharing morning coffee, watching the sunset, sitting beside the fire or cheering from the sidelines, the Bear Buddy turns two outdoor seats into one warm, comfortable place to spend time together.
Some Outdoor Moments Are Better Shared
Two individual camp chairs may technically seat the same number of people, but they do not create the same experience.
The KUMA Bear Buddy gives couples, families and friends one comfortable place to enjoy the outdoors together. There is no centre armrest, cooler or pile of gear separating the two seats. Just one roomy, padded outdoor loveseat built for campfire conversations, quiet mornings and long evenings outside.
The heated version adds another level of comfort without forcing both occupants to agree on the temperature.
Each side operates independently, so one person can select high heat while the other chooses medium, low or no heat at all.
Add two beverage holders, two stem-glass holders, a strong steel frame and a fitted carry bag, and the result is far more than a basic folding camping chair.
Two People. Two Preferences.
Independent Heat on Each Side
The Bear Buddy uses two separate ADDHEAT systems. Each occupant has a dedicated heating area, control button and power bank, allowing either side to be adjusted or turned off without affecting the other.
Why People Love the Heated Bear Buddy
Dual Heated Seats
Two integrated heating systems provide targeted warmth beneath each occupant during cool-weather camping, outdoor sports and evenings around the fire.
Independent Temperature Control
Each occupant can select low, medium or high heat on their own side, or leave their seat turned off when additional warmth is not needed.
Bluetooth™ and Manual Controls
Operate each side using its illuminated onboard control or adjust compatible settings from a smartphone through Bluetooth™.
Two Power Banks Included
Two rechargeable 10,000mAh USB-C power banks are included, providing one dedicated portable power source for each heated seat.
Oversized Two-Person Design
The broad double-seat platform gives two adults a shared place to relax without feeling like two separate chairs were simply pushed together.
Fully Padded Comfort
A padded seat, supportive backrest and cushioned outer armrests make the Bear Buddy comfortable enough for long evenings and full days outside.
Two Beverage Holders
Each occupant gets a dedicated holder for coffee, water or their preferred campsite beverage.
Two Stem-Glass Holders
Dedicated stemware holders make the Bear Buddy a favourite for campsite happy hour, cabin patios and evenings overlooking the lake.
Strong Steel Construction
A sturdy 3/4-inch black steel tube frame, stabilizer feet and 500 lb combined capacity provide dependable two-person support.
Carry Bag Included
The chair folds into the included carry bag for storage and transportation between the truck, RV, campsite, rink, cabin or backyard.
Personalized Comfort on Both Sides
Three Heat Levels Per Seat
Higher settings provide stronger heat, while lower settings preserve battery power for longer outings. Each seat can be adjusted independently.
Maximum heat for colder conditions or a faster warm-up.
A balance of noticeable warmth and extended operating time.
Gentle warmth with the longest estimated battery runtime.
Runtime estimates apply to each seat using its own fully charged battery. Actual runtime varies with outside temperature, battery condition, charging level and selected heat setting.
One Chair, Two Comfort Zones
Left Seat
High Heat
Perfect for the person who is always cold or wants stronger warmth as the temperature drops.
Right Seat
Low Heat or Off
Ideal for someone who prefers gentle warmth, wants maximum runtime or does not need heat at all.

Built for Moments That Are Better Together
The campground is quiet, the coffee is hot and now the chair is too.
Sit side by side and stay comfortable as the evening temperature falls.
One shared chair, two heating systems and no argument over the temperature.
Move from the deck to the dock to the fire without giving up your favourite seat.
Sometimes the best campsite entertainment does not require a screen.
Warm seats, hot coffee and good company on cool shoreline mornings.
Bring campsite comfort to your own patio or fire-pit area.
Sit close, lean back and stay outside after the sun and temperature go down.
Choose Your Bear Buddy
Cap-it offers the Heated Bear Buddy in two popular KUMA colour combinations. Both include the same double-chair construction, dual heating systems and two rechargeable power banks.
Red / Black
Classic KUMA plaid.
Bold, familiar and instantly recognizable at camp, beside the RV or around the backyard fire.
Sierra / Black
Warm and adventure-ready.
Earth-inspired Sierra fabric paired with black accents for a rugged, understated campsite look.
Colour availability varies by location and current inventory. Product photography and screen settings may cause colours to appear slightly different in person.
More Than Two Seats
A Portable Campfire Loveseat
The Bear Buddy is not simply two camping chairs attached together.
It creates one shared place to sit. Couples settle in beside each other. Parents pull a child close. Grandparents make room for a grandchild. And sooner or later, the dog usually tries to join everyone.
That shared design is what makes the Bear Buddy feel different from ordinary outdoor seating.
The independent heating systems mean you can share the chair without having to share the same temperature.

Estimated runtime is up to two hours on high, four hours on medium and six hours on low when using a fully charged included power bank. Actual runtime varies.

Is the 500 lb capacity for each seat?

Yes. It includes two standard beverage holders and two stem-glass holders.
Does it come with a carrying bag?
Yes. A fitted carry bag is included for transportation and storage.
Is the chair waterproof?
No. It is designed for outdoor use, but the heating systems, power banks and electrical connections must be protected from water.
Can I leave it outside?
Temporary outdoor use is expected, but prolonged exposure to sunlight, rain and moisture can damage outdoor fabric and electrical components. Store it dry and sheltered or use the compatible Bear Buddy Chair Cover.
Will the standard Lazy Bear Chair Cover fit this chair?

Should the power banks remain connected during storage?
No. Disconnect both power banks before folding, transporting or storing the chair.
What is the difference between the Bear Buddy and Heated Lazy Bear?
The Bear Buddy seats two people and includes two independent heating systems. The Heated Lazy Bear is a single-person chair with one heated seat.
Is there a non-heated version?
Yes. The original KUMA Bear Buddy Double Chair provides the same general shared seating format without heating systems or power banks.
Cap-it Take
The Bear Buddy is not simply two camping chairs attached together.
It creates one shared seat, which changes how people use it. Couples sit closer. Parents pull a child in beside them. Kids pile into it. And around the campsite, it quickly becomes the chair everyone wants to try.
The heated version makes even more sense in Canada. Each person controls their own side, so one can run high heat while the other chooses low, medium or nothing at all.
We also appreciate that both power banks are included. There is no additional power purchase required to operate both seats independently right out of the box.
For couples who camp, attend outdoor sporting events, spend time at the cabin or simply enjoy evenings around the fire, this may be the closest thing to bringing the living-room loveseat outside.
