I read it somewhere in a review. If I can find it I'll post a link. The review said something about how it's connected by cords which doesn't allow for detaching. If you're saying it can be then great, it's back on my list of contenders.😁👍

I've got the Trakker Oval V2 sleep system and find it more restrictive than my old Fox Mk2 flatlighter. I'm only 5ft 9 11 stone so given your height and weight I would definitely discount the Trakker as it would be too small in my opinion.

Thanks for the heads up on the Trakker Oval. I used to have the old Fox 5 season sleeping bag which was tapered at the foot end and whilst excellent for warmth, it was a complete bitch to get in and out of (especially with size 12 feet). I've still got the old Trakker 5 season sleeping bag with the detachable fleece inner (which I'm giving my eldest with my Fox Recliner beg chair) and as it's not tapered like the mummy style sleeping bags it's probably the best sleeping bag I've ever had.

I'm more than likely going to get the Solar C-tech wide bedchair now as everyone (especially those who suffer bad back) seems to really rate them. Probably going to wait and see if there will be any deals on them come black Friday though as they are over £500.

I've got a Nash ss3 and I'm 6ft 3 about 16 and a half stone it's got loads of room in it and I got a back back to this is perfect for me. It's solid as a rock and one of the most comfy beds I've ever owned

You wont go wrong with it mate.

Just done a week in France on my solar bed and honesty it was like it was resetting my back aches and pains overnight.

Cant believe the prices have gone up so much, i paid less then £300 for mine brand new a couple of years ago.

This is what's holding me back at the moment the prices are absolutely shocking 👎

Found a standard here for £315... https://www.walkersoftrowell.com/carp-specialist-fishing-tackle-equipment/carp-specialist-fishing-bedchairs-sleep-systems/solar-sp-c-tech-bedchair-includes-detachable-bag.html

Never used them before, so I've no idea.what they're like. I know what you mean about the price, I ummed and arrd about it after looking at alternatives, glad I took the plunge.

I can't remember exactly what I payed for mine; think it was about £300 when I got it when Total Fishing Tackle were doing a deal not long after they hit the shops, I'm assuming they were having trouble selling them as they had no bedchair history, could be wrong on all of that mind. One thing I will say to anyone getting one, if you find it hard when first using it, like your first night on one and think you've done a wrong-un, give this bed a few weekends use and as I found, it's the most comfy bed I've ever owned. Love it and I'm a super fussy get.

A Trakker 365 sleeping bag fits on a standard Solar bedchair as sweet as a nut, like perfectly 👌

had every Nash indulgence ever released in recent times ss3, ss4 wideboy, mf60 which was a joke b the way

if you do a search your see my review and a video to go with it

Im now using the solar sp c tech and ive not looked back - its just the bed as not a fan of sleep systems to be honest but paired with my fortis tech lite its the best bed ive owned and ive had a few

I used my MF60 3 hours and put it back in the car the mattress was far from comfortable for me, i slept that night on a self inflatable mattress...also tried the previous model of the Nash indulgence 1 night (ss4) mattress was much better but build quality was poor.

For me there are only 2 sleep systems that are worth it in terms of build quality, the Trakker oval levelite (also a top sleepingbag) and the Solar sp c-tech but the Solar's sleeping bag is not worth it, my mate use the Solar sp i found him a new Trakker AS365 sleeping bag that fits perfectly on his Solar

Yes the Solar is hard which is why I like the Trakker Oval levelite more but if you like a firm mattress the Solar is the answer, both beds are top build quality, matrass is always personal.

I take it that your mate has the standard solar bedchair rather than the wide version. I'm pretty sure my trakker sleeping bag is the 365 (it's about 20 years old now so must be one of the original ones but boy is it comfy). I'll probably just get the bedchair then but will need to take my sleeping bag with me to make sure it fits on the solar before I buy it.
Are you sure?

Yes, continue
