Has anyone tried one of these, any good?

Do you need the matching Avid bedchair or will it fit any bed?


Thanks

I've got the XL version and its on a Nash Wideboy indulgence bed and it fits nicely, Its made well is warm on the hottest setting and lasts about 18hrs on a fully charged 30k powerbank.
Ive strapped mine to my bedchair and then whack my sleeping bag on top of it.

Can you leave this folded up inside the bedchair or would it damage it? Cheers.

ok confession time, when I expect it to be cold overnight, I use an old Victorian stone hot water bottle, gently warm it over the stove, then it can be safely filled with boiling water, and stand it on end [its what they were designed for] in the sleeping bag and carefully zip it up so you should have a tent like effect.
make a cuppa with the rest of the hot water left in the kettle and by the time you get into the bag, it's really warm all over, if really cold you can wrap it in a jacket, jumper or a clean towel and place at the bottom of the bag, [you have to do this or it will burn your feet] I,v woken up in the morning and its still warm to the touch.
If you have one, or find one in an antique shop, test the stopper seal for leaks before using, its better than scalding water in the bag or on yourself, new seals are just a flat rubber or latex washer and easy to obtain.
fits any bag, and any bed.
Are you sure?
