I bought a cheap one as a test, made by Andes off amazon
Is the helium 3.8 made of a different material ?
The Andes one is like a pvc with a rubbery feel
I can't imagine any SIM would be any different

Just get the Helium, quality bit of kit and a nicer feel to it if you want to lie directly on it

Does the helium deflate well finding it a pain to fold the chair
I can get it folded but the sim is still pretty much inflated
Been toying with the idea of buying a Therm-a-Rest that isn't self inflating and blowing
the thing up
Any thoughts
Thanks for the help

When you open the bedchair just leave it for 5 minutes then do the valve up, when packing up just undo the valve and fold the bedchair, easy. They do self inflate better after being used a bit but if you blow in them it can become too 'hard' and cancel out the benefit of using it in the first place. I have had the cheapy ones and the Helium is different gravy, well worth the extra money. On offer by the looks at the mo as well LINK

2 completely different things
if I was buying one to lay directly on the ground maybe I would consider one of these air beds

I'll see how it goes lol
Because I already have a 5cm sim that seemed the way to go
Also it has a low R rating I felt because it's off the ground this wouldn't be too important
If it dosnt work out I could always buy another chair 😂

I've just bought a cheapo sim from Aldi. Was 13 quid reduced to 6 so why not. You can blow air into it to top it up its well comfy on the wife's rattan sun lounger so if it's no good on my bed then she can have it. 😉

Do these add anything to a memory foam mattress?

I would have thought it would cancel out the benefits of the memory foam as your body contours are no longer laying on the memory foam and gaining any support.
Unless anyone else can add anything I see no reason for a sim on memory foam.
I opted for a cheap, flat, lightweight bed chair and made it comfy with a thermarest neo air Xl, which I already had for multi day hiking. Probably close to 800 nights on my neo air, so that gets a massive thumbs up from me.
