Is it as comfortable as they say or too firm?

I grabbed the Sonik 4 Season Sleep System from Bristol Angling this week. Only set it up in the garden but it seems a good buy for just under £200. It will be getting it's first outing on the bank Friday

The solar system is just their sleeping bag on the bed chair which i wouldnt call a true sleep system. But the bedchair is best i owned. (Owned nash and trakker).
Recently replaced tge sleeping bag on the the solar bedchair recently with fortis techlite bag. Not only it fits prefectly, it improces the the experiance as the solar bag is big, chucnky and heavy. The discounted the bag aa well and only sell it as a sleep system.
Edit: Im 6'3 as well. 15stone. But was 17 when i originally bought it

I'm confused by this. Have they changed the design? My solar sleep system Is a proper system, multi layered and attaches to the bed top and bottom with Velcro at the sides. The top layer is a thermal lightweight waterproof layer, then the next two layers are the bag itself. Exactly the same as my old nashy sleep system.
I wonder why they are just bundling a sleeping bag with it now???? Seems a bit of a cheek.
In answer to the previous question. I think it's the most comfortable bed I've owned. But it is firm so be warned. But I love it cos my back is junk.

Compared to what i owned previously the solar sleep system is just a sleeping bag which has velcro flaps at the side. It even csme with a stuff sack. Even for a 4 season bag its very heavy and mot comfortable this time of year. I rem4mber my nash actaully zipping to thr chair it self? I might be wrong its been a good year years.

You can buy the solar as a system and also just as a bed with a separate bag
I have the same as yourself- the complete system and it is not a bag on top of a bed
The fifth layer is a separate cover that Velcro's to the rest of the system

I bought the solar system standard, about a month ago , theres loads of good comments about on here but i got to say im dissapointed with it, its just so bulky when folded up, im suprised no one has commented on it before, previous to this i had the flatliter and this was half the size when folded.

Having previously owned the SS4 and the Flatliter I have to say the Solar sp system is by far more comfortable especially if your back is not the best like mine, not the lightest but a small sacrifice for a good nights sleep.

Didn't like my sp c tech at all . Far to firm for someone who sleeps on their with no adjustment either . The mk2 flat liner is a comfy as it it gets bed , but at 17kg is just to heavy. The Nash indulgence compact was okay but at 1.9 long was just to short to stretch out on. So I've now got a duralite 3 season . 100mm longer than the Nash 5kg lighter than the 3 season flatliner .

I've had both and I'd say that the Solar packs up better than the s4itty Fox one does with the same sleeping bags on. If you put too much tension on the Fox, because it's made of some super flimsy metal it bends and buckles the frame, not the case with the Solar.
I've now a Trakker sleeping bag on my Solar SP C Tech which folds up dandy.

Not something i ever had a problem with on the newer fox beds. The best pack down bed I had was the indulgence . But with just a 4 season bag on it's not really that deep in the first place.

You can buy slimline, four fold and beds with smaller dimensions and lightweight fittings, materials and bags. They work and they are fine.
But if you want room, comfort and full winter warmth the best systems are bulky, awkward and relatively heavy.
Swings and roundabouts. You have to make a choice and live with it or buy both.
