Do you have an idea what you're willing to spend on it?
That would help recommending a bedchair and bag

I'd reccomend a trakker 365 bag but depends on your budget. Bedchair is so personal and dependant on bivvy it's going in and budget. Need much more info for any real recommendations.

Unless you go second hand. It's gonna be a struggle.

-Solar Ch08 bedchair (top bed if you preff a firmer matrass)
-Fox duralite 3 season sleep system, 5 season is overkill

Iv always scrimped and brought cheap or got second hand but few months back I had enough and searched for a new bed/bag - sleep system. My lake can be a bit or a trek so I didn't want a 400kg system... long story short from recommendations on here got the solar bed (around £200) and the fortis snugpack (£220) weights sod all and warm and comfy.
All depends if you want it just for a week trip or for a good few years. If you want a budget bag then the 5 season cyprinus (around 90) is good

I've had sleep systems and at you're size is say go for a big bag and a big bed as a separate system . you will need the benefit of a big bag and bed. I feel sleep systems are made for snake hipped weasels. Ok if you're Mick jagger in 1969.

Wasn't meant as a joke. Funny all the same. I hope it is taken as such.

If you can find the old model T9445 Nash Indulgence SS3 5 Season system it's a very good bed for around £300. I've had one since they came out. Firm non memory foam mattress, no sag, nice and warm in winter and zips off for 3 season summer. Also only weighs 12.7kg which is pretty light for 5 season compared to what's around now.
One caveat is I'm only 5'9 and normal weight, but feels like there is plenty of room for bigger guys. Looks like England Angling have one for £330 but he might take an offer for old stock.
