Legendary Soft Pongee Liner

The Core Bed's ultra-soft 50D Pongee liner delivers the familiar feel of your favorite sheets from home—in the backcountry!

  • DWR-Free Liner

    All Zenbivy Pongee liners are DWR-free. This is a major step in our mission to create more natural, skin-friendly, and chemical-free outdoor gear. With our fabrics already coating-free, the only treatment we use is a PFAS-free DWR on shell fabrics.

  • Comfort-Mapped Sheet

    Core Sheets are comfort-mapped with 50D Pongee to add comfort where you need it and a lightweight 20D Nylon to save weight where you don't.

Versatile Fit

Our 25" sheets work on narrower 20" mattresses, cinching in at the back. All sheets are adjustable in length with a drawstring at the foot end.

Fits Most Mattresses

Zenbivy sheets are designed to fit most standard size mattresses on the market, including rectangular and tapered styles.
