Wychwood Tactical X compact is an excellent bedchair.
I am 6 foot tall and almost the same wide, weighing 15 stone.
As said before, a helium 3.8 mat on this bed is comfortable and still light

Anyone used this with a sleep system? If so, how did you measure it out? Flat bit on the bedchair or to the edge of the zip?

flat bit ..................nobody sleeps on the raised edge as nobody is that wide also it stops it moving about

Another vote for the trakker RLX superlite, very comfortable and lightweight and for the price you can't go wrong

Finally found a shop in Belgium that sells Wychwood, asked him about the Tactical X bedchair, but the shop owner told me to go for a Trakker Rlx or Solar, these are much better quality according to him

Bs or not?

Solar Sp high dimensions is okay for me the Rlx is too long.

Honestly buy something of quality buddy. You going to appreciate it in the long run...

Maybe squeeze in a few extra greens and go for the high end Trakker beds or Nashys. If not seen a Solar bed yet, have never seen or heard a bad thing about any of their gear. Might be a good option 2

Quick question about the SIM. Doesn't it make the bed feel like sleeping on a blow up air bed? Don't you lose all the lumber support of the bed?

I have used a SIM for 20 until I purchased an Avid Restbite since then I've never felt the need for one.

I'd like to know this too, bought a Wychwood compact from recommendations on here, love it. Don't know what a SIM would add

in winter much warmer and and an increase in comfort level

I initially bought my sim purely for insulation after studying all the pack packer forums I learnt the following
.............air beds do keep you off the ground but very poor insulation properties
closed cell mats do offer good insulation but can suffer with condensation in cold weather resulting in getting wet

SIMs best of all as good insulation and no real condensation as they breath at LEAST the one I use does...............cheaper ones may not ??
and to my delight I found my already comfortable bedchair was even better ! and I can leave it on in the summer without sweating like a rapist win win
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
