I am 6 foot and 15 stone, and would normally use a nash indulgence wide sleep system for all my fishing, either an overnighter or week long, but it weighs a tonne,
I bought a Wychwood tactical x bedchair compact for the shorter sessions and have to say it is very impressive.
It weighs 6.5 kg and is big enough and very comfortable
Thats my recommendation

Look nice, the wychwood looks the best so far, however I can't find one anywhere!
Future Fishing in Newark had all the mentioned bedchairs in stock & on display to "try out" when I was over there last (10 days ago). They tend to hold good stocks of most popular bedchairs as well as some of the less popular ones. definitely recommend trying them out before you do buy especially if you can try all the ones interested in together rather than having to go from shop to shop & then forgetting how hard one was compared to another.
As I mentioned in my first post, the Solar Undercover bedchair ticks all the boxes & is the cheapest one as well at £95! I wasn't holding much hope in comfort from it when I saw the price but was pleasantly surprised. As Gerry has mentioned, the self inflating mattresses can be a bonus but I didn't get on with them myself (& no I did not over inflate it), but everyone has different comfort levels so may be different for you like it is for Gerry.

Avid benchmark lite is the comfiest light bed i have tried. The x-lite is to narrow and can feel the bars.

I had the old Avid memory foam thing although comfortable , I found it heavy
And the legs a pain , suddenly dropping during the night etc
I've tried out the new one and I agree it's much improved and light
Nice to lay on , **** to sit on
I think sims or their equivalents make any **** lightweight bed hair very comfortable
I've only used mine twice but am totally in love
I hope it's as comfy during hot weather

got the compact
got the compact
The trakker rlx superlite is a very good bed, I've had mine a couple years now and it's still like new
Does anyone who has the JRC Xlite level bed find it too low? going by some pics it looks like it a few inches lower than the other light bedchairs, so i was thinking would it be issue or not

I had a JRC X lite level bed and absolutely hated it... one of the most uncomfortable beds I've had and so loud when you rolled over on it. Sold that on after only doing about 4 nights on it and got the Avid Benchmark lite and that is a much better bed IMO.

I've always found my Xlite comfortable (admittedly with a SIM).
Don't think the Avid was available when I was looking, but does look decent - thanks for the heads up. Touch bigger though so not sure my bag will fit (techlite compact)
What bag do you have on it out of interest?
