Had the first version since it came out but its starting to hurt my shoulder as I sleep on my side. Its always been very firm but its now causing me issues. Is the mk2 mem foam better? Dont want to shell out £450 if its going to be the same. Ive also got a mountain equipment glacier 5.0 sim on it as well and still hurts so a sim wont help as the mountain equipment one is very thick.

I don't know about the mk1 but can say the difference between the mk2 memory foam bed and the sleep system mattress surprised me.

I was not comfy on the bed even with a trakker 365 on it, but the sleep system mattress is much less contoured and comfier for me

The Fox memory foam sleepsystem is on sale at Todber Manor,it has the thickest memory foam of them all.Its bloody heavy though,also the Fox Flatliner X system gets very good feedback.I know vossy loves his im fetching one on Wednesday from Total Fishing Tackle after seeing my nephews

Yep, love my Flatliner X SS from TFT...even if it is camo 🤣
I'm a side sleeper, just over 6' and around 15 stone and it's very comfy but on the firmer side. There's a seem under mine where the materials meet which creates a harder line which is best avoided with your shoulders. It's a heavy thing but with barrows who cares. I've done about 250 nights on mine, still as good as new 👍

Iv just bought the mk 2 solar bed . Yet to use it . It’s firmer than any bed Iv ever owned , probably heavier too . The people I know who have one say it’s the best bed they have ever owned

I ordered the last one from their eBay shop yesterday then had a message saying they sold the last one in store and cancelled my order 😢 was looking to get the Solar bed but really like the look of the Fox MF8 now but don’t think I could part with £600 for it. £450 was bad enough 😂

A lot of my frontier was out of stock, said maybe 4 weeks to get it, it arrived the next week.
If they're getting more in they should honour the deal price for preorder, they did me, worth a try 👍

Managed to find one at TackleUK for £480 and then a 5% voucher popped up and got it for £456 which I was happy about
