Zenbivy Lite 10 Review

ZENBIVY Light Bed 10° Review

The Zenbivy Light is a modular system that combines a mattress with a quilt. By using a unique extra sheet layer you also get a warm baffled shoulder area and hood and integrated pillow that gives you the flexibility to use this like a quilt or use the clips to turn the system into a super warm sleeping bag with an integral mattress. Zenbivy is unique in the sleep systems that I’ve tested because it provides the most comfort for those of us that sleep on our sides or suffer from the cold and discomfort. With the extra space to turn without getting twisted up in a sleeping bag you’ll get the closest to an outdoor bed for less than 4lbs packed down. Continue reading ZENBIVY Light Bed 10° Review
