Hi I'm looking for a new bedchair as mine is horribly uncomfortable . I was thinking of a Nash indulgence mk4 wide .
Looking for something wide nothing under 90 cm.
200£ to 300£
Ideas ????
Looking for something mega comfortable

My comfortable may not be your comfortable or anybody else's......You really need to try before you buy and i mean more than sitting or lying on one for 2 minutes......

Buy a self inflating mat (SIM)

the type that backpackers use it will be a lot cheaper than a new bed and transform the comfort

this video will explain it better than I can CLICK HERE

EDIT
As we are not laying on the ground and we will be using on top of a bed we DONT need it to be too thick or inflated too much

Before buying a new bedchair, try replacing any elastic with 9mm paracord/rope. Less than £10 will do more than one bedchair with ease, and will turn a sagging old bedchair into a new one almost! First thing I do with any bedchair I purchase now if it is fitted with elastics. Makes that much of a difference.

Comfort is a personal thing like Wayne said. Lots recommend the Trakker, I hated mine and sold it , got a Cyprinus memory foam and love it.
I would say if possible have a good long lie down on one.

They are ok but if your frame is poorly designed (doesn't lay flat) a mat won't help you. I've used one for decades but as I've aged it just wasn't enough when doing anything more than a night.

A thermarest is great and I preferred mine on the ground than on a bedchair.

I've not bothered using mine since I've had an avid bedchair.

Mine is a 4 leg in the middle and then one leg at the top and one night at the bottom there is only elastic at the top and bottom in the middle ( where my back is ) it is canvas directly around the metal tubes !
To be honest it's a Caperlan and and the time I didn't want to buy an expensive one as I wasn't doing too much night fishing but now I would like to have something more comfortable to encourage me to get out more !

How do you go about testing one and you really only can sit or lie in it for a few minutes at the shop it's not as if you can try one for a night .

Or failing that just go full commando in the shop and get to grips with it LOL

I absolutely hate my nash sleep system. Was talking to a couple of mates at the weekend about it and I came to the conclusion that in 25 years of buying dedicated carp tackle , it ranks up there as one of the worst purchases I've ever made. Never again.

Take a look at the new solar bed and also the fox flat lighter. For my personal taste they were so much better than my crappy gash bed.

Ok where do I start.

It's saggy. So bad that I had to remove the elastics and paracord it just to make it useable and even now it's still poor.

The padding around the frame is so thin that the metal digs into your arms if you turn over.

The actual bag just isn't warm. It's nothing like good enough. I know I'm not a young man anymore but with this bag I have to use it with a thermal cover or I will be cold. In fact the bag is so rubbish that for the odd winter night I do now I've ditched it altogether and gone back to my old aqua bag which is sooo much warmer.

Also I often get a cold back as the matress just isn't think enough when using the sleep system so the cold from underneath comes up.

Just a poorly designed product. I'm no real fan of fox gear but wurzel74 has the flatlighter and its streets ahead of mine. One of the lads bought the new solar bed at NAS and we set it up on the stand. Man that thing was comfortable. I could have set it up in the stock room and slept like a baby.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
