First night on it last night , very very impressed , much more comfortable than the cho8 , the mattress is very comfortable , I havnt tried it yet with my sim but it doesn't actually need one . Very light , very stable , at 90cm it's got a extra bit of width to it , but not too wide, I'm
I'n an undercover Brolly in it now and there's loads of room and I've got my snugpak Techlite attached to it, really happy with it 👍🏼

Sounds good. Do you think you could fold the bedchair with a bulkier sleebag in place?

I can't see why not , it's got straps on both sides that you can ratchet up tight once you've got it folded

i'm thinking exactly the same, my benchmark is showing its age and would like something (slightly) lighter, the dura dore ticks the box's and with the 15% off at Tft its a great price atm, I thought there would be more reviews on the dura dore by now, my only worry is being a side sleeper it may be too firm.

If its same width as the memory foam one its very tight and it will eventually go at the seams I think

I use one and love it. Im 6ft and nearly 20 stone.

Im a big lad and wanted a heavy duty bed that wasnt too heavy. 16.2kg for wide I thought was reasonable and it's a cracking bed solid as a rock and comfy too. Not as comfy as the SP C-tech but it's 5kg lighter.

same width but totally different mattress.

My mate has the sp tech and apart from it being heavy, my only worry would be the sheet that covers the mattress. It's paper thin.

Not the case on my duradore though. It's a decent fit that's not too tight and a slightly thicker material.

Just ordered a dura dore.......does the single leg affect a sleeping bag going over the end of it? I have the new version trakker 365 and hoping it fits ok!

It will affect it as I guess your bag has a sleeve to wrap over the end of the bed in which case you won't be able too.

Well received it yesterday and it's going back as just like the C Tech it's like sleeping on a park bench!! It's so firm and far to hard for me.

Now ordered the memory foam one to give that a try.

Agreed! I'm half tempted to buy a single blow up mattress with built in pump.......

I was going to buy the dura dore as wanted a lighter bed and the tackle shop had them all out on display, tried the dura dore which was far too firm then tried the c tech and it was night and day more comfortable, so ended up buying a heavier bed than I started with lol

I now have the memory foam one. It's still quite firm but the foam makes it bearable

Just got my dura dore and was slightly puzzled at all the claims saying it's one of the most comfy mattresses, it's so Aaard. I'm a fairly built guy as well at 100kg so thought would be good. I'm done with constantly going through bed chairs, so gonna stick with it and hope that over time it softens up just a little. Failing that I'll see if I can cut a thin layer of memory foam to slot under the system itself. Great frame and duvet though, well made as you'd expect

Mine was comfier when I was carrying a load more weight, now not so 😂😂. But I only do a few nights a year so it'll do.

One thing I have never managed to do is get it to lay flat on my barrow, is there a nack to doing this because it makes everything else wonky on top of it!

I Don't think there is anything you can do about it being shaped like a pyramid when folded up. I put the bed stood up over the front wheel on my barrow rather than laying on the base
