hi ..

Im looking for a new bedchair .
Im using the fox flatliter mk 2 atm but my old knackered back doesn't like it ..
I need something a little softer. Memory foam ?
Mayb a little wider than the standard flatliter .
A sleep system I can use all year round ..
Any ideas

New fox flatliner 3 season sleep system is what I changed to from the mk2 flatliter and been very happy with it I do use 2 of these inflatable mattress underneath the sleeping and never get a back ache . But what ever bedchair you choose get yourself a inflatable sleeping mattress will help he'll of a lot with stopping back ache.

i just got the new ss4 wideboy from nash and tried it out last week. can honestly say the comfiest bedchair i have ever been on which includes an nash emperor. I have had back problems my whole life and after a 4 day session i had no issue whatsoever.

the foam mattress works a treat, the under support which now runs basically whole of bed keeps the bed firm even for my fat 20 stone ass and the new leg supports are great with the bed being very sturdy. It also comes with usb connection for your phone and battery pack etc if you are in to that sort of thing.

Downside slightly on the heavier side and not cheap. Paid £490 which didnt even include a pillow (had to buy that at extra £50). But if you are willing to spend that sort of money well worth looking at Also the legs are longer then their previous beds which is great for getting in/out of but if your bivvy is on the low side this might be a problem

50 notes for a pillow? Had the shop big windows? That's crazy money!

Wychwood tactical x. i've had fox but this one is comfy, wide and super lightweight. Weighs less than my chair!
£129.99 is a cracking price

Another vote for the tactical x and a quality SIM....

Much better than the original Wychwood tactical bedchair in terms of build quality, though perhaps not up there with the very best.

Well made enough, light and wide even in the standard size.

Not silly money either.

Mountain equipment SIM, latest Trakker big snooze and the bedchair all for less than £200 if you shop around. I just add a Trakker bedchair cover when it gets chilly.

The SIM is a game changer, just don't inflate it too much, needs a bit of give👍

Lots of people saying how good the Wychwood bed is, it's so much cheaper than all the rest of the market so where is the catch?

Brand name.

Wonder if the Wychwood tactical X is better than the Sonik levelbed (The sonik is also cheaper here), I like my Sonik levebed (standaard), but I need the Compact for in my Quest Outer Block Bivvy but the compact is nowhere in stock here so I am considering the Wychwood tactical Compact

I have no loyalty to any brand,I have many brands in my fishing gear from jag to gardner,speero, delkim,trakker,Harrison shimano..if somethings good and does what it supposed to then i will say so,like wise if it's crap I will also say so...the tactical x is spot on,will it last 5 years,i don't know...Time will tell but its certainly a great product

Do the Wychwood tactical X have clip locks?

Sonik levelbed and Wychwood tactical are very similar, got 3 bedchair 2 without quik locks and the Sonik levelbed with quick lock i will never buy a bedchair again without quick locks

Are you sure?
