I really need a decent bedchair sleeping system for around a £100. So far I have been suggested a sonik sk and a cyprinus but I cant find enough info about them.

It seems like the fox flatliter and trakker levelite els are the two standout options but there out of budget unless second hand. Does anyone know of someone who has one for sell?

Not a system but the Sonik bedchair is hard to beat for just over £100. I tried a few before Christmas ranging from a TFG for £80 up to a Fox for over £200 and others in-between and for me the Sonik felt as well built as any of them and I found the most comfortable to lie on. Bechairs are very personal though so best advice is to try and get somewhere to try a few as what suited me may well not suit you

Have a look at the Angling direct site, lots of choice there. I had a nosy myself the other day, over 50, yes you read it right, 50 different bed chairs to choose from! blew my mind

Where does all this gear go

Tried a couple including the Eos and flatliner. Also tried a few Trakker models. The Sonik build felt as good as the most expensive I tried at half the price so decided to save myself the money. To me it is more comfortable than the Trakker Slx that it has replaced

I've got this bed.
Replaced the elastic with paracord and it's a really comfortable bed, no need to spend anymore imo.
I only do overnighters and weekends occasionally and it suits me fine.


I have the standard SK-TEK LEVELBED Code SKTCH050

Wychwood tactical is an excellent low cost bed. It's firm, but that's how I like it. Ooooh matron!

Not sure mate, didn't check, deffo not spoilt for choice though!

I was looking for the impossible, a comfortable bedchair

Still the same old designs, I'm thinking 3 or 4 inches of memory foam on a platform, proper bed style, bliss!

The only bedchair that's not given me a bad back is the original jrc stealth

I've had fox and Nash with the mash indulgence being the worse one
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
