Zenbivy - Ultralight Bed

Well, “freely” overstates the benefits. It takes a slight effort when you turn to keep the uninsulated bottom of the bag pressed against the pad when you turn. I love the false back design — especially the part about having a -7C sleeping bag that only weighs 450g (!) — but there is a little bit of learning curve to turning without exposing your back side to the cold. There are no drafts, which is nice, but warmth is still prone to escape until you master that skill. Zenbivy’s system is designed to fix such problems: you can turn easily draft-free. I don’t like ZB though because of the extra weight and complication of adding a sheet. A wide quilt is simpler, easier to get in and out of, and mostly solves the draft problem. Also, maybe it’s me, but I’m not going into the backcountry to mimic sleeping in a bed at home.

I’ve been using the Zenbivy ultralight sleep system for my last few Thru hikes. I’ve got something like 90 nights of sleep on it. The additional sheet is great as it provides additional comfort/keeps my head warm. Their sleeping pad has a solid R value, but it’s not the most comfortable one I’ve ever used. With the mattress, sheet, pillow and quilt it ends up costing a pretty penny. But I like it. I’d give it a solid 8.3/10

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.
