Zenbivy - Light Bed

I came to recommend the Zenbivy. I sleep like this in mine and stay cozy.

FWIW I have the Lightbed 25 version with the insulated half sheet and it is the best outdoor sleep I’ve ever had. It comes as close to your bed at home - you can move and ventilate freely while being warm and cozy when needed. The rating is of course limit/transition but I’ve had it down to around and just below freezing (with a Xtherm NXT mat). Around 5°C and below it gets a bit chilly but I sleep very cold. I find that it doesn’t absorb water easily and that it dries up quickly if damp from condensation. Packs down reasonably well due to the 850fp down. I do not use their mat or pillow but the quilt and attachment system will be my go to going forward. Had it with me on The Great Outdoors Challenge crossing this year in Scotland and it performed admirably. My only regret is not buying the UL version. Feel free to ask whatever questions you may have.

It's a great sleeping system if you're a fidgety side sleeper and I love the fact the foot box can be completely opened up into a loose quilt that won't take a midnight walk to the end of my tent thanks to the sheet toggles. However it does have some major drawbacks. It's very expensive for what it is, the sheet prevents the use of thicker high R rated sleeping pads, and most importantly of all it's very bulky due to poor compressibility. The -12°c quilt, full length sheet and pillow stuffed into a S2S 13L compression dry bag doesn't cinch down by much, maybe to about 8.5L. Whereas my Cloud 20 sleeping bag will cinch down to about 3.5L in a 5L dry bag for half the weight and same temperate rating as the Zenbivy Light.

I have had a nemo disco 15 bag, two EE and now a Zenbivy 10 degree light bed with half sheet. The Zenbivy is by far warmer than EE and to the moon and back more comfortable than EE and the Disco. I was skeptical of Zenbivy but it is a quality product. I use a Ultra 3R exped pad for three season and a 5R in cold season.

Look at Zenbivy. Having your feet free is their concept. It is a quilt that connects to you bottom sheet/pad. You can only hook the top and leave feet free or you can hook the sides of the feet but have the bottom open. Or just do one side. It's got lots of options for you to pick what you want. It's also made of down

I started off with the Nemo Disco. I’m a side sleeper and that bag allows me to move around without the mummy bag feeling. My son is camping with me so he got that sleeping bag and I upgraded to a Zenbivy. Game changer. Sleeping quilts are awesome and pack down just as well as traditional sleeping bags. Keep an eye out when they go on sale, got my system for 30% off. I got the 0 degree and yeah, if it’s 50 degrees out I have to open it up. At 30 degrees I’m snug as a bug. Haven’t gotten below 30 yet.

I just got the Zenbivy quilt sleep system and love it. Super light and kept me warm all night.

I have a zenbivy and I love it. Don’t know what their lowest temp rated bag is though

Agreed. As a thrashing side sleeper this bag has been a godsend. It’s super versatile

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.

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.

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.

Zenbivy - best of both worlds! I have the 10f and 25f light beds and they're super comfortable.

Zenbivy is the best of both worlds. Most comfortable camp sleep system ever IMO.

Zenbivy all the way. I’m a major side sleeper. Makes a huge difference in a good nights sleep!

Zenbivy. Especially if you’re anything but a back sleeper.

Second the Zenbivy suggestion. It's a great sleep system.

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.

I regret the money I spent on my Zenbivy, I get so cold in 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.

I got a zenbivy.

Zenbivy is a good option for this need

I got a zenbivy, and man....I am not going back unless there is some super innovation of like a TARDIS bag.

I got a zenbivy sleep system for around £250 in January on sale

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.

Definitely consider Zenbivy sleep systems ! I love mine ! Feels more like sleeping on a bed and so lightweight.

I've only used mine a few times (so far), but I have been very impressed by how comfortable I was in my Zenbivy.

Mine surprised me with how warm it is.
