Afternoon,

I'm looking for a new bedchair as my current one (Nash scope) is surplus to requirements due to the design and I just fancy a change.

I have heard good things about the Wychwood flat bedchairs but I'm struggling to find one (Standard size) online, could anyone recommend me a new light bedchair please?

Jack

I have a trakker rlx super light for a good while now, 6.5kg so nice and light, I have the standard size... No issues, I do use a sim with it for added comfort...nice and sturdy with a firmish mattress

Trakker rlx superlite are good

I use a Solar C-Tech bedchair which is super comfortable but does weigh a bit more than I like. I bought a Solar Undercover bedchair for the wife which is significantly lighter and strangely enough, just as comfortable. Best part of it is that is costs £95 compared to the £300 for the other Solar one I have! I have had other "lightweight" bedchairs over the years such as the Trakker RLX 6 leg, Wychwood Tactical, Fox Flatliter MK2 Compact, etc & none of them have been as comfortable to my spine as the Undercover one is currently. When combined with the Fortis Techlite sleeping bag, the weight is minimal with no comfort spared (never been cold in the Techlite even in the coldest of conditions where the lake has remained liquid.

I have heard good things about the lightweight Avid Benchmark Lite bedchair though but I am not a fan of anything from the parent company Preston Innovations, so avoid anything from them & sister companies (Korum, Avid, etc) - purely because of bad experiences with some of their products in the past. Might be worth taking a look at if you don't mind using their products & fits in your budget available.

I have a JRC Xlite level bed. 6.48kg, nad has been comfortable for me. i due use a SIM on it (mainly due to an old back issue). I'd recommend that too. Worth a look anyway.

Avid benchmark lite ticks all the boxes for me. Hopefully it will last, had it 4months and done quite a few nights

Only bad point is the adjustable leg mechanism doesn't feel that durable

Look nice, the wychwood looks the best so far, however I can't find one anywhere!

Also looks very nice. Bit over budget though.

I know - very annoying! Read online there's been an additional 25,000 rod licenses sold this year so no wonder we can't find things.. did find the chair but it's on eBay and the company have bad feedback..

Would test them before you buy mate, the wychwood was far to hard for me, but some like a firmer bed
