Hi guys looking for some input into the above bedchair. Can't find anywhere near that has them out so have a few questions.
Being wide in the middle and more compact on the ends does it feel restricted when zipped up. I'm a side sleeper probably curled up most of the night if not tossing and turning because the bed I have is not very comfy. Is the extra width in the middle useful for this and how is it moving around in it.
Is the top layer waterproof or do you still need a cover.
Noticed the back legs are very narrow and the frame comes in around the head and foot end do you notice this when laying on it ie does it feel like a compact bedchair with a wide middle
Thanks in advance sure I will think of more.

Hi I've got one and you do notice the difference in freedom of movement compared to my old fox flatlighter.

How big and tall are you? I'm only 5ft 7in and small framed so fine for me, my mate is 5 11 and about 14
stone and he finds it just big enough. If you are bigger than that I would look at another bed as I think it would be too small.

Top layer is waterproof so you don't need a cover.

Overall great bed for me as I can push it back into the back of my Tempest brolly, but it does take a while to get used being a bit more restricted.

I have the v2 oval. On short sessions it's been ok but I can see it being restrictive on longer sessions
I'm looking at buying the solar sleep system to take on my longer trips.

Hi mate thanks for that I'm 6ft tall but only a skinny one so not an issue but I want a bed with a bit of space and comfort as I'm getting on don't mind the weight and can't find anything I like more than the mf60 wideboy ss4 so I've ordered that the trakker was on a good deal so I was trying to make it work but I've noon what I wanted for a few months so I've bitten the bullet on the price

That bed was one of my options but have been warned off it because of how hard it is and not forgiving. Good if you sleep on your back but not on your side

Think you've made a wise decision mate.
Are you sure?
