I have been debating this exact same thing. I have the standard fortis bag which is a really tight (too tight really) fit on my original fox flatliner. The top and bottom hoods are stretched really tight to fit over and feel I’m always about to rip the bag. The mk2 solar sp seems to be about the same size as the fox so don’t want to repeat the issue. I’ve never fancied a sleep system as like to remove the bag and air it. I’m a sweaty git!
Thing is I really like the fortis bag but it is the main thing limiting bed choice, so may have to forego it.
I would like to upgrade my bedchair now as I’ve had it a long time and not sure what to do other than go for the full system. The new fox Flatliner looks good too but I thought seemed a bit too long and will be tight fit in the various shelters I have.
I will be interested in what you end up doing.

Thanks - that definitely makes it sound like it's too tight fit then. I'll have to give it a miss unless I consider another bag, but I like the fortis bag!

Hi All
Does anyone know if the actual seat back heights are the same or different on the Solar SP Recliner mk2 low and high chairs? I'd prefer the low chair, but only if the seat back is the same. I'm thinking maybe it's just the seat base height that is higher on the high version, but can't find any info to confirm.
Cheers

Hi - thanks for the input. I'm 6'1” and prob about 15 stone and side sleeper. Sounds like it will be fine for me then unless I find I need to add my SIM too.

I really like the fortis bag, which is why I want any new bedchair to work with it. I like the smooth fabric and easy of movement and that its not fleece lined which I hate. Have to say I do find it too warm during the warm months so often just sleep on top of it, but I'm always hot anyway. I've rarely used it with the outer layer zipped on, but I don't tend to fish during the real cold months anyway. I wouldn't say I find it any less breathable than any other bag I've had. The fleece lined ones I've had I guess tend to feel marginally more breathable but i I think that's just because they absorb rather than breath? I'm a sweaty git!😆
My only real complaint is I wish it was a little wider for more wiggle room as I also toss and turn a lot, mainly due to aches and pains! Old age creeping up on me.

Thanks outside measurements are what I need. Don't put yourself out though I'm not needing the info desperately. Just when you get a chance will be great. Thanks

Cheers - This is what concerns me. I'd seen you make this comment before on another thread and it's really what is making me think twice! As you say best thing will be to take my fortis bag to a shop and try. Mine is the larger standard fortis bag too. Only issue is trying to find a shop that has a bed on display to try. Often easier said than done.

Hi - thanks. Is yours the newer mk2? If it's only 730mm across the frame then the fortis bag would fit ok I reckon. Or do you mean to the inside if the frame? I need overall width to outside of the frame.

Hi All

I'm thinking of a new bedchair and like the idea of the standard size Solar SP C-Tech Memory Foam MKII. Albeit, they seem out of stock everywhere atm.
I currently have the original Fox flatliner which I have had since they first came out. It has been great and was a revelation for me at the time with it going totally flat, but as I'm getting older everything seems to ache! I'm a side sleeper and my neck and shoulders give me grief.
I've also got a Trakker RLX Flat-6 Bed, which I bought for the weight saving, but it is really uncomfortable for me. I added a Thermorest SIM which makes a massive difference, but I prefer a slightly wider bed.
I have tried the SIM on the flatliner which improves things a lot, but it makes it too tight with my Fortis sleeping bag.
I have read a few posts on here on this newer Solar bed. My real question is, is the Fortis bag a tight fit on the bedchair frame? The Fortis bag is a tight fit (too tight really) on the Flatliner which measures 940mm wide across the mattress, but only 780mm across the frame. The standard Solar says its 900mm, which is obviously the mattress width, but I have no clue on the frame width?
I'm not interested in the full system, just the bedchair as I really like the Fortis bag.
Any info much appreciated.

Cheers
