I got an Avid Sleep system and sent it back was so uncomfortable, even the wide one was too narrow and you can't even move in it

Iv been looking at beds aswell . I thought the avid seemed really comfy . I was just disappointed with the legs. The mechanism for the adjustable legs was useless . When I folded up the bed the legs were loose and were falling out . Shame because I really liked the bed

Currently looking at the mf60's and will also take a look at the fox flatliners . The solars are rated very good but I really want memory foam

Had both and the avid is crap in comparison. The solar is in a different league. I have the wide version, very big and heavy but worth it.

If your seriously thinking about the Solar bed, make sure you take a look at their CH08 model. Granted its not a sleep system but you can pick the bed up for £170 if you shop around, and that leaves you with plenty of cash left over to get a decent 5 season bag of your choice.
Personal choice I know but I actually think the CH08 is a more comfortable bed than the all singing and dancing C-Tech due to having a slightly different mattress.

Angling4less we're doing them @ £180 but had a 5% discount code a few weeks back👍
£180 still a great price with free delivery though to be fair.

Solar no comparison, I've had the Avid Restbite and benchmark and now the Solar Sp super duper jobby the restbite was better built then a benchmark by a country mile an yet wasn't as comfy the Solar is light years ahead mega firm and supportive to the point of being to firm and waking up thinking I was at home. Now this bit may sound confusing or contradictory I stopped using an air mattress therma rest when I purchased the restbite and then didn't miss it with the benchmark however I now use one with the Solar and as odd as it sounds it's because the Solar is so well made and so firm I prefer a little bit of give and a £6 air mat allows me to get it spot on and my sleep is brill the best it's every been whilst on the bank and comparable to being at home with a £1000 bed. Not as much space to star fish though as it's not a Euro size
