I had been using the fox mk2 flatlier for the last 4 years and found it great pretty light weight for a sleep system . Then back end of last when fox released them the new flatliner sleep system . I decided on one of the 6 leg 3 season flatliner system after seeing one in the flesh and done around 12 nights on it so far and very happy with it more padded mattress on it over the mk2 flatliter . I also did look at the fox Duralite sleep system and that looked decent quality but was not quite long and wide enough for my liking . But if you wanted a more compact sleep system that would be more ideal over the fox flatliner sleep system

Been using mk2 flatliter for last 3 or 4 years and cannot fault it. I have the compact and I am 6'1. Newer systems seem very heavy ?

No good for the nights though with that stupid built in pillow, I binned it off and got a Fox Flatliner and Ventec bag, best nights kip I have ever had fishing and do 7 nights straight through on it several times a year.
Only downside is the weight however, on the barrow or straight out of the van is a doddle.
Longest I have ever owned a Bedchair and had it around 4 years and have just changed the elastic for paracord.

Mine did !! and I just unzipped it and threw it in the bin I used a feather pillow
but then I discovered flat firm beds were far better for my back especially when I used to do 2 and 3 week trips

think they stopped doing it when they found they could make more money by selling a separate pillow

Maybe, but I had the first one released and that didn't have one either. I guess there's been so many versions over the years some have, some haven't

Nash Indulgence system for me have tried loads of bed chairs and sleeping bags and with out doubt the Nash system in my eyes is far superior than anything else i have used in over 50 years of fishing as they say you get what you pay for.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
