I'm looking for the best bedchair for my situation, sometimes my son come along so the more compact the better but don't want to compromise on quality/comfort, regularly do 48/72 hour sessions.

On the list so far:

-Solar Tackle Bedchair SP Range Flat Bed 6 Leg (205 x 80cm)

-Fox Duralite 5 Season System (202 x 78cm) looks best choice on paper

Any other bedchairs worth to look at?
Nash compact is too small the rest of their bedchairs are all 212, Trakker's new models are also all + 210cm.

I've got the duralite 3 seasons system and just use a gardner cover for cooler times, I've only used it in the garden but found it very good and a nice weight to handle if i need warmer ill just get the 5 season bag for it at a later date.

very nice light weight and stable bed

I have a Sonik levelbed now 210 x 80 with sim (Based on the previous Wychwood model)

Also Shop owner here told me to skip the Wychwood becouse Trakker/Solar is of a different level when it comes to comfort and quality, read here and there that Fox duarlite owners rate it higher than their previous Trakker beds

Also had a strange conversation on Fb with Wychwood, I asked them if they can tell me which stores in Belgium / Netherlands sell their tackle and got the answer: you might be better off with Fox there

. . .no . . .but I have the standard size and this has never been an issue. Bed lays perfectly flat - leg heights are adjustable . . .for the weight and money this product is quality . . .

Maybe a trakker flat6 I use it for days etc
It's a short bed though as I'm over six ft
But really light and compact
Grab a quality sim and you won't regret it

Out of all the bedchairs that ive owned over the years the solar sp is by far the most comfy and well built.

Back from shop

70 x 200 is way too narrow


Fox duralite 5 season, what a disappointment, single legs cannot lock, and the double legs collapse when you move the bed

Solar CH08, decent bed stong lock on legs, matras is also very good But I don't gain any space with it :(


2 new options:
-Trakker oval bed, damm what a boss bedchair + very good sleeping bag

- Wychwood tactical compact,with Trakker matras and Sonik St-tek sleeping bag/cover.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
