I'm looking for a new bed hair/sleep system. I don't won't Nash. Been looking at trakker and solar. Don't mind spending up to about 3 to £400 on a sleep system. What you guys got /recommend?

Dont need to spend that to deal with bed hair mate. £10 will get you a decent hat.

I have the sp c tech sleep system, i really like it. But its unusable for me in the summer as its too hot. The bed separate with fortis bags gets good reviews. I got a wychwood tactical bag for summer use, not ideal but better than being unable to sleep

Solar CH08 or Solar Sp-ctech bedchair with a good sleeping bag

Got the Avid and Nash MF60 last week for 2 days in my house and omg I don't understand what people like about them, it sags in the middle, yes you can tighten it extra but it will continue to sag over time, + on the Avid Benchmark Leveltech lol, the legs don't even stay in place, they just fall out if you pickup the bed

Both are in no way any match for the Solar CH08/Sp C-tech at all

Nice deals are now starting to appear on the Sp C-tech because Solar will launch a new series on the market in 2024.

I paid £238.58 for my standard Sp-tech bedchair (Dutch shop) which is an insanely low price for such quality

I bought the sp c tech and sold it after amonth as couldn't get on with it
Bought the avid level tech x and won't look back. Yes it is heavy but so comfy it's the east I've ever used.

Fox flatline is the best I've used but it's not light if you don't mind the weight the comfort and warmth is excellent

Trakker Levelite Lumbar Bed paired with the Snugpak / Fortis bag.

Very lightweight, comfortable, warm enough for all but the very coldest nights (add a bed chair cover) and bag can be converted to a lightweight spring and summer bag by just zipping off the top layer.

Probably a bit over budget but Black Friday is coming up!

I have the exact same set up and I agree with you bud, fantastic. I've added a sim just for extra firmness as I suffer with my back and it works a treat. 👌

Same here - levelite ELS and fortis bag for me and would definitely recommend - Im still sleeping with the zips undone, has to be pretty cold for me to have the zips done up

And of course the Mountain Equipment Helium 3.8 self inflating mat between the bag and the bed for that extra comfort (another Mr Linkypoo recommendation from a few years back ).

Self inflating mattress. The ones people use when camping
Are you sure?
