Why is the Core Bed better than a traditional sleeping bag?
Our patented 2-piece sleeping bag is built just like your bed at home with a sheet below you and a quilt above. Even when fully zipped in, the quilt "floats" above you, letting you sleep in any position and giving you the freedom to move without feeling restricted.
Sleeping hot? Easily kick your arms and legs out or "throw the covers off" to get quick, cooling relief. Cold night? Clip the quilt to the sheet and tuck in under the hood to ensure a draft-free night. The versatility of the 2-piece Core Bed allows you to use it in a wide range of temperatures throughout the year.

Kylie-curve™
The patent-pending 3/4 length baffle-backed Kylie-curve™ drawstring cinches only the center portion of the quilt, so it comfortably seals in warmth around your shoulders but leaves the edges free to drape at your sides or tuck into the sheet’s hood to block drafts.
Thermally-mapped baffles
We designed our quilts for thermal efficiency, distributing the down fill to provide the most warmth
where it's needed, with smaller baffles to minimize downshift. We focus primarily on keeping the heat at your core and feet, but provide ample insulation in every chamber for consistent warmth.
Semi-rectangular design
Other quilts are commonly hourglass in shape, creating a pinch point that causes the quilt to grab
and twist as you move. Zenbivy quilts are semi-rectangular, providing you the space and freedom to move naturally-without constriction.
Roomy Hood - Insulated or Uninsulated!
The sheet’s roomy integrated hood insulates your head and arms and keeps your pillow in place throughout the night.
Core Sheets are available with an insulated hood for full "mummy bag" warmth, or a lightweight uninsulated hood for use in warmer weather or with an insulated hooded jacket.
Lightweight clip attachments
Our proven draft-free color-coded clip system is nearly weightless compared to zippers. Our clip quilts
and sheets are more versatile since any clip quilt can be paired will any clip sheet, allowing you to mix and
match to build vour perfect setup.
Shop: Core Quilts

The soft 50d Pongee liner and supple new 30d Taffeta shell provide maximum home-like comfort in the backcountry. Available in affordable 650-fill down and synthetic options.
