bedmate

Nightly sleeping companion

A bedmate is someone who shares your bed, whether for sleep, sex, or both.

The term is neutral about the nature of the relationship—a bedmate might be a spouse, a lover, a roommate in cramped quarters, or a child who crawled in during a thunderstorm.

My bedmate's snoring kept me up all night.
