Hi all, having just got back into fishing after 10 years off I am looking for a new bedchair system.
I am 6ft and weigh 16 stone. I have narrowed it down to 3, the Nash SS4, the Fox FLATLINER 6 LEG 5 SEASON SLEEP SYSTEM and the Solar SP C-TECH SLEEP SYSTEM. What is the best please, I really can't decide.

Beds are a personal thing mate, you need what suits you best, not someone else. Go and have a look at some. I like the nash, I've got a bad back and I find it very comfortable, others say it ruins you back. The solar gets good feedback, I did have a lie on one and yeah it was good, but no better than my nash one.

I'm in the same boat but looking to spend less than £300. Avid Benchmark Lite Sleep System seems the best reviewed on here

Looked at that but at 6ft I think it may be too small but a great saving on weight is a bonus

Does the SS4 sag over time?

I have the ss3, my old one did after a couple of years, but with a bit of paracord through the centre section it was good again and lasted me over 10 years. The new one is now 3 years old and still as firm as the day I bought it so I don't think I'll need to cord it for some time yet

Can only comment on the Nash. Had to go for comfort a couple of years ago. Chose Nash indulgence wide boy ss3 5 season. Been fantastic for me. Winter or summer, roll over, stretch out, warm and comfy. Used a lot, no probs. The downside is that it is heavy, bulky and awkward. I am more than happy to live with that. Swings and roundabouts.

I use the standard but have used my mates wide boy and I hated the wide boy, found it really uncomfortable

. . .I've just returned after a 6yr plus break and got rid of my mk3 Indulgence as it was always saggy from new!

I'm a similar size to you (6'1"/15 stone) and was looking at all the expensive options based on reviews / tech / comfort reports . . .however I went with the advice of Gerry (OldGeezer) and bought a Wychwood Tactical X (standard) and a lightweight Self Inflating mattress. . .

Best decision ever - comfort level is way above the indulgence ever was and with my Ventec lite bag permanently attached its still half the weight of the mk3. My only poss regret is that its 'large' for a standard sizewise / under my ultralite so maybe should have gone for the compact however no regrets - for the price its a great bit of kit.

Seriously considering selling my France only mk4 Indulgence Wideboy and getting the wide Tactical X . .
