I’ll be the dissenter - I hated my Nemo Forte 20 (W’s long). We’re the same height and around the same weight and I found it too narrow in the shoulders and despite the spoon shape, I could not rotisserie comfortably. I didn’t find it warm, either, and experienced huge cold spots down the side opposite the zipper on a 35° night. I replaced it on a whim with a Zenbivy core bed and love it. The sheet keeps the quilt in place while I spin and the pillow pocket lets me throw my arms up while keeping them covered. The quilt is wide at the top and can tuck around me like a regular comforter. Super warm too.
r/CampingGear • Sleeping bag for a mostly back sleeper who turns like a rotisserie chicken ->I got a zenbivy.
r/camping • Tips for using a sleeping bag when you constantly toss and turn at night? ->I had an older REI mummy sack. I just got the core bed because I didn’t want to spend too much if I didn’t like it. Then I upgraded the quilt to the down in the pre thanksgiving sale this year.
r/camping • Tips for using a sleeping bag when you constantly toss and turn at night? ->I have a zenbivy and I love it. Don’t know what their lowest temp rated bag is though
r/CampingandHiking • Best sleeping bag that can also turn into a quilt? ->Agreed. As a thrashing side sleeper this bag has been a godsend. It’s super versatile
r/CampingandHiking • Best sleeping bag that can also turn into a quilt? ->This is pretty compelling tbh. 1.08kg and packs down to 20cmx20xm. 850 treated down. I’d personally go for a Zenbivy, but honestly I don’t think this looks bad.
r/wildcampingintheuk • Big Agnes Lost Ranger UL 3N1 15…. Is this a good option for camping in the uk winter ->I have a disco and its pretty good used it like a quilt so often I ended up going for a quilt, Specifically a zenbivy, its also good, I set it up with one side fixed to the sheet and the other mostly free. Like sleeping in a bed.
r/CampingGear • Sleeping bag for a mostly back sleeper who turns like a rotisserie chicken ->I had a SD Cloud 20 and that was hard enough to wriggle in and out of, I can imagine these being much worse and would probably feel claustrophobic. This is why I think the Zenbivy system excels- no draughts, freedom of a quilt etc. problem is the ultralight bed is very expensive and the light bed fairly heavy for this sub.
r/Ultralight • Sleeping Quilts are Dead – What I Use Now & What NO ONE Talks About ->Zenbivy - best of both worlds! I have the 10f and 25f light beds and they're super comfortable.
r/CampingandHiking • Best sleeping bag that can also turn into a quilt? ->Zenbivy is the best of both worlds. Most comfortable camp sleep system ever IMO.
r/wildcampingintheuk • Lightweight sleeping bags? ->Zenbivy all the way. I’m a major side sleeper. Makes a huge difference in a good nights sleep!
r/camping • Ok side sleepers... ->Zenbivy. Especially if you’re anything but a back sleeper.
r/WildernessBackpacking • Best backpacking sleeping bag? ->Second the Zenbivy suggestion. It's a great sleep system.
r/camping • Tips for using a sleeping bag when you constantly toss and turn at night? ->I'm also a cold side sleeper that turns over a lot at night. Went with a zenBivy a few years ago and it's heaven. Not claustrophobic, lots of room to move my legs and arms. Can turn side to side easily like a regular bed. I love it. I have a +25 quilt that is warm for most of my uses, but also have a +40 I can layer for colder temps.
r/bikepacking • Quilt vs. Sleeping bag for a cold side sleeper ->I regret the money I spent on my Zenbivy, I get so cold in it.
r/backpacking • What's a piece of gear you splurged on that was totally worth it? ->Try a Zenbivy, it combines the best features of a quilt and sleeping bag, once I tried one I did not go back to sleeping bags or quilts.
r/camping • Sleeping bags uncomfortable, what is good quilt? ->Zenbivy is a good option for this need
r/backpacking • What's a piece of gear you splurged on that was totally worth it? ->I got a zenbivy, and man....I am not going back unless there is some super innovation of like a TARDIS bag.
r/CampingGear • Sleeping bag for a mostly back sleeper who turns like a rotisserie chicken ->I got a zenbivy sleep system for around £250 in January on sale
r/wildcampingintheuk • Best non-mummy sleeping bag ->Zenbify fits the design you're asking about, but is above your cost by a decent amount. They are super comfortable though, and I love mine. Might keep an eye and pick up on sale/discount or with a coupon code. I'd generally recommend 2 sleeping bags/quilts vs a shared double unless you both tend to sleep at the same temperature. You can also get sleeping bags that zip together if you do want to share space but have the option for solo/separate use. That being said, Kelty makes good stuff so I'd trust their double if it fits your needs.
r/camping • Sleeping bag + Pillow under $300 - to be used as couple with Exped Megamat Duo at 24F/-4C ->Definitely consider Zenbivy sleep systems ! I love mine ! Feels more like sleeping on a bed and so lightweight.
r/WildernessBackpacking • Sleeping Bags ->I've only used mine a few times (so far), but I have been very impressed by how comfortable I was in my Zenbivy.
r/Ultralight • Hybrid sleeping bag-quilt, why they are not common? ->Mine surprised me with how warm it is.
