Zenbivy ZipBed Trek

I’ve been using the Zenbivy sleep system for six years now, but my wife hasn’t been as enthusiastic. When we’re backpacking on the Arizona Trail, I’m in charge of setting up the tent while she handles the interior. The Zenbivy quilt system can be a bit tricky to assemble, especially when we only use it a few times a year. After a 15-mile day, cold hands just add to the frustration. On our last trip, she joked, “If they’d just put a zipper right here, this would make a lot more sense.” Apparently, Zenbivy heard her because, for 2025, they’ve added a zipper.

What Makes It Different?

Zenbivy designs quilt systems rather than traditional sleeping bags. The concept is based on the idea that a high-quality sleeping pad provides insulation. Once you compress down feathers with your body weight, they lose their loft–and their ability to retain heat. Anyone who’s ever slept on a deflated air mattress can vouch for that. A Zenbivy quilt uses a soft sheet system that fits over your mattress, attaching the quilt in place, just like your bed at home. This setup lets you move freely or sleep on your side without feeling trapped like in a mummy bag.

Now with a Zipper

The new ZipBed Trek weighs just 2 lb 4 oz in the 25-degree regular version, and 3.0 lb in the 10-degree model. Based on our field testing, the temperature ratings are spot on. The new zipper and the Fast Footbox™ design make setup much simpler–Carla-tested and approved. The semi-rectangular shape moves with you, creating a sleeping experience that feels more like your bed at home.

Give It a Try

Zenbivy offers complete sleep systems, including mattresses, pillows, stuff sacks, and dry bags–perfect for both backpacking and car camping. If you’re tired of feeling like a burrito in a mummy bag, I highly recommend experiencing the comfort and freedom of a top-quality quilt system.
