I bought a 10cm sim which is brilliant. Trouble is I have a Nash ss3 and it won't. fit in with the bags done up. I'm thinking of getting a separate bag and just putting it on top as a cheaper option than a whole new bed chair.

A bedchair with a good quality SIM (at least 5cm) is far more comfortable than any standalone bedchair
I've got a real cheapy at the moment and looking to upgrade and up to now have been thinking about the Helium 3.8 but that Andes one looks very good value
Does a Sim need to be at least 5cm especially if it's going to cause problems with transportation.
I'd imagine the Andes will fit inside some but not all bedchairs, what's the pack down size of the Andes in it's carry bag please?
Edit
Just found out.........Drawstring carry bag included (packed size: 57 (22") x 15cm (6"))

I got this one from Go Outdoors.
OEX
Prowl XL Self-Inflating Mat
Really pleased with it, £35
It's not just the extra comfort the mats offer it's also the extra insulation, which makes a big difference.
If I were getting another I'd try the cheaper one below. For that price it's got to be worth a look.
Although the Helium will probably be better quality, is it worth over twice the cost? Probably not.

My Thermarest Trail Pro in Large is 5cm thick and has the best thermal rating for its thickness on the market and that folds up inside my Whychwood Tactical compact bedchair with sleeping bag and cover with no issues. Ive never tried the Andes in the bedchair but packdown size is similar so dont think you will have a problem.

I bought one recently in a sale and I'm about to send it back as it's really uncomfortable I fine. What does the paracord do? What diameter did you use and what SIM did you buy to fit it. If it saves me sending it back that would be good

I bought an Andes for my girlfriends daughter a couple of years ago for when we went camping. She sleeps on the floor with it and says it is very comfortable ... Ive also used it on my bedchair when i have friends staying over they say it is very comfortable .... Its been thrown about ... moved from place to place and used multple times without an issue ,,,,, Another plus is if bought from Amazon the customer service if there was a problem is second to none

Just be aware that the Andes is nearly twice the weight of the Helium according to the specs

Understandable as the Andes is thicker, longer and wider

They are the original brand, US built, mountaineers use them, The quality of the foam core is apparently unparralled and the Trail Pro version is classed as the most insulating SIM on the market for thickness.

That will do for me, placing an order to replace the piece of **** from Trakker that goes flat after 5 minutes.
