OWN A TRAKKER - RLX FLAT 6 LEG BEDCHAIR ???
a mate that does not go on the internet has asked me for a recommendation for a firm flat lightweight bedchair I now use a Wychwood compact bedchair I love it but he says the legs are too short and of course all compact bedchairs suffer with this problem
so looking around I see this Trakker RLX flat is only 7.5kg but what he needs to know whats it like and in particular
how long the legs are ?
as no where does it mention the height ??

Gerry I used to have one and it was very low and also not firm.

Last 2 months i was looking for a firm light bedchair, in the end even if it's heavy i keep my Oval levelite tall, there is just no decent light (below 8kg) bedchair
Fox duralite is acceptable in terms of weight but let your friend have a look at the solar CH08 not light but not the heaviest and firm, Ch08 is also better quality than the Duralite
Rlx Flat is low, couldn't even get my Sonik backpack under it.

It's very low, which is why I bought it originally.
Fox flatliner is much firmer more padded and much higher

And weighs twice as much and costs a lot more.

I use one and the height doesn't cause me any issues. The weight is why I bought it (had it for a few years now). Beds are pretty personal, but I find it comfy (I'd choose something softer vs. firm).
More than happy to measure the height for you if you like (with the legs retracted and extended). I'll set it up tomorrow and drop you a PM if that helps

Been looking at these myself, I sleep on my side so I'm after a bed that's not too hard, I tried a couple in a shop and they are like sleeping on a sheet of plywood, would these be suitable for sleeping on your side ? Cheers 🙂

I've tried this in the shop and I think it would be a good option for side sleeping, your best bet would be to try and find a shop with one on display and give it a try. I know some Go Outdoors has them on display if thats of any help.

I have the Trakker RLX (have had for about 2yrs) and it is so light it surprises you when you first lift it 😄 I sleep on my side mostly and it is fine for me @15 1/2 stone and 6' tall. Big enough in general, the legs only extend about 5” I reckon and isn't overly low imo - no lower than my Nash SS3 (which weighs a ton in comparison)
If it needs to be light to carry, and compact when folded I haven't found a better one than the RLX yet personally.

I get confused by all the different models, but may be able to help
I use the rlx super light with a sim and it's very good
I also have a compact flat six but I'm too tall for it
The compact is very low , and the rlx is average I guess

I'm also s side sleeper I found it fine.
I also found the fox extremely comfy as a side sleeper. It's not too furm but firm enough but ultimately its really padded but as said, it's heavy but I would say more compact width and height but a lot deeper bc of padding

Gerry the details for the Rlx 6 leg bedchair:
Material: Aluminium/Steel Frame - Dimensions: Open: L192cm x W76cm Closed: L75cm x W76cm 7.3kg weight - Leg closed: 28cm - Leg extended: 38cm
I know it's another 4 kg but I went for the Levelite Lumbar. I weigh around 18st and am 6ft 4in tall and was mega impressed with how firm it is. Just incase you're looking for any others. Leg length for the Lumbar is 30cm closed and 40cm open/extended.
