In the market for a new bedchair and have narrowed it down to the solar and avid.Any personal reviews would be great on build quality and comfort.I'm 6'3 and 18 stone so that needs to be considered also.TIA
I did my first night on my benchmark lite this weekend.
It's super light and very well built.
So much more comfortable than my old Nash indulgence.
I'm 6'2 and 18st and had no problems. It was a bit noisy moving around, and I could not sit on it like my old Nash, but I have a chair for sitting on!
I would totally recommend it.

Have the solar bed chair and bag combo and I have got to say it's the most comfortable nights sleep I have had on the bank.
It's heavy with bag but not excessively, it's built well and have had since before Xmas and no problems with it yet. Even slept in garden on a couple of hot nights over the shutdown 😀

That does seem to be the problem at the moment with stock levels and not being able to visit somewhere to personally try them out.

Solar, renowned for good build quality
Avid, renowned for poor build quality
When you are buying some as expensive as a bedchair, quality matters

The solar sp is by far the best I've owned. Small details like the first two sections being longer than the third to allow the pillow to fit when closed, or legs that lock into position so when moving it in the bivvy the legs don't collapse and crush your hand Would recommend to all. Only fault is it's heavy.
