Im 6'4 and 15st and ive got the wide one and there loads of room on it. I sleep on my side in the recovery position which is why i got the wide version so i can spread my legs out. Best bed going for me by a country mile. I bought a mountain equipment glacier 5.0 sim for mine as its like sleeping in my bed at home.

I use a Wychwood Morpheus 4 or 7 on mine, always packs the bag away, I'm average size and have the standard one sleep on my side back front it's great, the only let down is the clip that may break at some point. I use a bedchair bag for mine which helps manage it. Mine replaced an avid benchmark and when I wake it's like I'm on a firm comfortable based bed, superb bed.

I'm sure it would be fine with either bag yet as I tend to only use the 7 when it's dropping below zero I allow myself the flexibility to grab the bag I need for the conditions necessary.

Both a friend and I had put hand sanitiser in the side pouch of the side bag, keys, phone, charger it's decent and fits either side.

I put my tubs of pop ups in it 🤣
As for the bed..........I haven't used mine yet even though I have had it for a couple of months, one thing I will say is that it's big when packed down. I have a fortis bag so that's only small but the actual bed width when packed down is really wide. Bit gutted really as I had a trakker ELS which was perfect for my barrow but I have now had to try and redesign how I stack all my kit. I know this not exactly world ending but when you have spent years going minimal and getting it all perfect this is a spanner in the works 🤣

Hahaa.... This has made me laugh as it's the exact same scenario as me.
I did manage to put the barrow up and chuck the bedchair on it before Xmas and it actually sat on there ok as I did find the ELS with SIM, fortis bag and pillow used to sit a bit lop sided whereas the solar one for some reason sits level?
Like a couple of others have posted, the solar bedchair does fold a little odd and takes a lot of cranking up to hold tight on the buckle strap, hopefully the comfort will make this a minor inconvenience though?

Maybe the Trakker beds have a longer joint where it folds as that's why why things folded better?

I did have the same thing happen to me with my last fox bedchair. I'm not using a self inflating mattress anymore, everything folds sweet. Like others have said about the buckle, I agree with those sentiments, although I will add that i find it reasonably easy to get nice and tight.

All of that aside, the Solar bedchair has to be the best bedchair out there from what I've spied with my little eye.

If you don't want it, I'll have it off you. The system doesn't come with one for some reason
