"Quilts are for comfort, mummies are for warmth. The Zenbivy Bed is for both." - Backpacker Magazine 2018 Gear Guide
The Zenbivy Bed's exclusive 2-piece design is the first hybrid sleeping bag to match the mummy bag's warmth/weight ratio, while eliminating constriction. The separate quilt adds incredible versatility and allows you to take comfort with you on all your trips from hammock to hostel. The separate sheet means no more sliding off the mattress, and allows you to "tuck in" the quilt when temps dive. Combined, they create an EN rated sleeping bag that obsoletes the mummy bag because it is just as warm and light, but a whole lot more comfortable.
Sleep in whatever position you want—just like your bed at home.
“THE VERDICT IS UNANIMOUS: ZENBIVY IS THE BEST OUTDOOR SLEEP SYSTEM WE'VE EVER TRIED."
At its core, the Zenbivy Bed is backpacking quilt. Quilts offer the most comfortable, lightweight and famailer ways to sleep in the backcountry. And because they add a ton of versatility, q good quilt should form the foundation of your comfortable backcountry sleep set-up.
“For those who feel constricted in a mummy bag or want a quilt and sleep system in one, the Zenbivy is an interesting option. So far it has given me some great night’s sleep.”
“the Zenbivy Bed is what it is: one of the most comfortable sleeping systems I've ever used in the backcountry.”
”curling up inside the Zenbivy did indeed feel a lot more like I was crawling into an actual bed.”
Unlike mummy bags, there is no thermal disadvantage to a larger size Zenbivy Bed because it is always free to wrap snugly around you. So bigger is always more comfortable and just as warm. If you are an "active" sleeper or have a "wide" sleeping position, you may want to size up to sleep naturally. When in doubt, size up.
