I'm looking for the best bedchair for my situation, sometimes my son come along so the more compact the better but don't want to compromise on quality/comfort, regularly do 48/72 hour sessions.

On the list so far:

-Solar Tackle Bedchair SP Range Flat Bed 6 Leg (205 x 80cm)

-Fox Duralite 5 Season System (202 x 78cm) looks best choice on paper

Any other bedchairs worth to look at?
Nash compact is too small the rest of their bedchairs are all 212, Trakker's new models are also all + 210cm.

I've got the duralite 3 seasons system and just use a gardner cover for cooler times, I've only used it in the garden but found it very good and a nice weight to handle if i need warmer ill just get the 5 season bag for it at a later date.

very nice light weight and stable bed

I have a Sonik levelbed now 210 x 80 with sim (Based on the previous Wychwood model)

Also Shop owner here told me to skip the Wychwood becouse Trakker/Solar is of a different level when it comes to comfort and quality, read here and there that Fox duarlite owners rate it higher than their previous Trakker beds

Also had a strange conversation on Fb with Wychwood, I asked them if they can tell me which stores in Belgium / Netherlands sell their tackle and got the answer: you might be better off with Fox there

. . .no . . .but I have the standard size and this has never been an issue. Bed lays perfectly flat - leg heights are adjustable . . .for the weight and money this product is quality . . .

Maybe a trakker flat6 I use it for days etc
It's a short bed though as I'm over six ft
But really light and compact
Grab a quality sim and you won't regret it

Out of all the bedchairs that ive owned over the years the solar sp is by far the most comfy and well built.

Back from shop

70 x 200 is way too narrow


Fox duralite 5 season, what a disappointment, single legs cannot lock, and the double legs collapse when you move the bed

Solar CH08, decent bed stong lock on legs, matras is also very good But I don't gain any space with it :(


2 new options:
-Trakker oval bed, damm what a boss bedchair + very good sleeping bag

- Wychwood tactical compact,with Trakker matras and Sonik St-tek sleeping bag/cover.

How do people rate : Nash mf60 indulgence 5 season ss4 sleep system?

Could do a good deal for one, has been used 2x seller bought the wide version, price £ 273

Bedchair is a lot bigger so will have to bring the Slx v3 plus bivvy when i go fishing with my son

Can buy de Solar sp-c tech new in shop for £249 and sp sleepsystem new for £326, but not fan of the sleeping bag (
such a shame Peach Skin blanket with fleece inside can only be attached on top of the sleeping bag and not inside


Trakker oval levelite is 514 pounds, but it only ticks all the boxes only negative for me is the weight.

Both the solar sp and the trakker levlite are very good for me, the sleeping bag 365 from Trakker has everything I want, the sleeping bag from Solar not, only 2 sleeping bags that I find with zip-out layers and non-fleece option for the summer are Fortis and Avid Termafast.

I have a wide version ss3 5 season. Warm and toasty all year, really comfortable and roomy. Great for longer sessions. Can be stripped back for hot weather. We'll made. It is what it is though, a big strong comfy bed so it's heavy and bulky and needs a good size bivvy. Not for lightweight mobile fishing. Love mine.

I tested all Nash bedchairs and could only stay on the standard Nash bedchair, a pity because I wanted to buy the Ss4 MF60 5 season first,
Memory foam mattress is a big no for me also tried the ones from Avid, same story


Edit: 25/03 a Trakker Rlx oval will be delivered with extra 365 oval sleeping bag.
