Hi all im going to start doing occasional nights next year and im looking for a suitable bedchair for me im 5'11 and weigh 21 stone.
I dont mind either buying a bedchair and sleeping bag separately or buying a sleep system but i havent got a massive budget.
Any suggestions would be massively appreciated

The Solar sp-c tech is expensive but worth the money if you can stretch to it.

Best price I found was on tiktok shop using the vouchers and it can be had for £340. The sleep system version is nice and roomy too, for a system.

I did find the system had a less bumpy feel than the bed because the mattress on the system is more simple than the contoured one on the bed.

The solar worldwide bed or system is cheaper and does look really good too, was just a bit short for me compared to the c-tech

I'd avoid fox personally, after having a weld go on a flatliter but they may have improved since then

I was nearly 25 stone and had the cheaper solar wide 3D dura dore sleep system.

I wouldn't say it was really comfy, but the firmness did mean I didn't hit the bars when laying down and there was plenty of space to lie on my back or sideways. Was always really hot in it too

I have been over 22 stone for years - i asked Jay Mungo (god bless him) at a show what he used as he was a unit and recommended the solar bed when they first came out - i bought one and never looked back, most comfy bed I've used.

I've lost around 7 stone in the last 12 months and not I'm finding the bed more uncomfortable on ever session i do. Usually the majority are overnighters but this week I've done a 48 hours and really felt it. Think I'm going to look at the SIM's first before deciding on getting a new bed as i do love it.

Thanks for all the comments in the end i went for the Solar Worldwide Wide 8 Leg sleep system which i got for £365.
I havent had chance to test it yet because the shop sent me just the bedchair instead of the sleep system so im waiting for it to be exchanged.
Are you sure?
