Core Quilts Features
Fast Footbox™
Without zippers or a complex convertible footbox, the Core Bed’s simple patent-pending Fast Footbox™ technology utilizes just one hook to quickly transform the footbox from "mummy mode" for maximum warmth to “wide mode” for maximum space.
Soft, Durable Fabrics
With its legendary soft sheet-like 50D Pongee liner and a new amazingly supple and durable 30D Taffeta shell, the Core Bed features our softest fabrics yet!
The Kylie-curve™
The 3/4 length baffle-backed Kylie-curve™ drawstring comfortably seals in warmth around your shoulders but leaves the edges free to drape at your sides or tuck into the sheet’s hood to block drafts.
Shop Core Sheets
Pairing your Core Quilt with one of our Core Sheets allows you to fully "tuck in" when temperatures drop. Hooking the quilt to the fitted sheet protects against drafts and keeps you (and your quilt) on the mattress. Plus, the hood acts as a cubby to keep your pillow in place all night long.
Our soft Pongee Core Sheets are available with an insulated hood for full "mummy bag" warmth, or with a lighter-weight uninsulated hood for use in warmer weather or paired with an insulated hooded jacket.

United StatesBetter than a bag
Never going back to a mummy bag. As a stomach/side sleeper, my Zenbivy is as close to a bed sleeping situation as one can get in the wilderness. Warm, comfortable and can be easily moved aside or a leg can be slipped out when things get too toasty.

When paired with a core quilt it’s the most comfortable sleeping system.

United StatesVery comfortable, but temperature rating is very over-rated.
Pros: ZenBivy's customer service was very helpful with my questions. The system itself is very comfortable and I have one quilt and two sizes in sheets, which easily fit my pre-existing sleeping pads. Con: It's not a 25 degree bag . To be honest, I did not buy it as a 25 degree bag, because I'm well aware that most gear manufacturers overstate this rating. However, I spent 10 days camping in the Tetons early this summer in a dry tent on level ground, on a sleeping pad with a 6+ Rvalue and wearing thermals. But without an extra light blanket on the inside of the system, I would have been very cold in temperatures not lower that 38-40F. So for me that's a fail to be advertising it as a 25 degree sleep system. I think most experienced campers and backpackers understand these issues, but it's the newbies I worry about and there is no way I'd recommend this to someone going into a colder situation. I would recommend it for summer backpacking or kayaking and colder car camping when you can bring some extra gear in order to stay warm. I'd buy it again and I'm very happy with it. I'm also happy I went into my purchase with realistic expectations and I wish ZenBivy would reconsider how they do their own temperature ratings.

I haven’t used it yet; I’m just gearing up for a Fall section hike on the AT. Quilt definitely seems to fit the bill, but… I also ordered a mesh bag not knowing that it came in one. Also, it supposedly stuffs into the 7L bag, which I can’t make happen. Luckily, I had ordered elsewhere a 10L bag that it barely stuffs into. The compression ends I ordered? I can’t seem to make them work. Overall, I do feel I wasted some of my money.

So far, so good! As a 6'7"/250 lbs side-sleeper, I've been camping in my 1980's era XL Hollofill 2 sleeping bag out of necessity, but it's always been snug. At various points over the years, I've tried upgrading, but everything available was too tight in the shoulders/hips, or my feet/head would get pushed together if I tried to stretch out. Finally decided to try the Zenbivy XL Core Synthetic 25 with the 30x80 sheet paired with the ALPS Mountaineering Nimble Insulated pad. Haven't been outside yet, but it's an absolute dream combo on the hardwood floor at my parent's house. (Curse you brother, for taking the bed! :) ) But the joke's on him, this is almost as good as a bed. Looking forward to seeing how it performs outdoors in a couple months at the next Scout campout.
