What's heavier a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks 🤣

I seem to be the minority.
Long before thier invention I use a quilt with cover up until autumn as just can't stand sleeping on a base that moves - I then moved to the original Nash one that just had the bags on top as when I wriggle it doesn't scrunch up the bag. I could never go back to a bag. You never sleep on and under a sewn in quilt at home, so why do it on the bank - although I rarebit ever fish winter nights.

I really don't like sleep systems there never seems to be any give in them and always ends up feeling trapped, much prefer separates now

I have a nash ss5 sleep system its brilliant but very heavy. In the summer I strip off the mattress and just use a cover. Light as a feather but good on quick warm overnight trips

Always used a separate bag and bed for years. My old 25+ year old JRC XLite Cocoon with a Trakker Big Snooze bag and Aqua Fleece overblanket cover me for all year round use.
The downside was it that was 3 different items of luggage and the bed was elasticated all around the edges, not the newer style fold over and laced in the middle underside type bed, eliminating sag.
I saw a shop damaged Nash MF60 sleep system going for £100 so snapped it up, swapped the damaged legs with my JRC ones and hey presto £500 sleep system for £100
I have been very surprised at how good it is (except the weight but it is memory foam mattress). It's extremely comfy, everything stays in place, is warm throughout the year and with the double layered bag is versatile throughout the changing seasons. Truth be told I wouldn't have bought one if it wasn't so cheap a deal but I now like it.
I have noticed that JRC now do a modern XLite with articulated hinges and newer style middle elasticated mattress so in time may opt for one of these with the old bag permanently attached for a lighter set up.
