Must admit I used to prefer it when beds were able to be lent up and fixed in position for reading or whatever at night or horrible days in the bivvy, like my Nash wideboy years back, my flatlighter only goes flat so I end up laying on my side to read or watch my iPad or whatever, and it’s so uncomfortable doing this. I’ve ended up resorting to taking extra massive pillows…lol

Yes definitely referring to the OG bedchairs
Are we are being conditioned to take a separate chair to sit on during the day now?

-Ngt classic recliner micro fleece bed
-Avid Carp Ascent Recliner Bed
-Prologic inspire relax recliner
But not the best beds on the market imo

Think his referring to bedchairs where it has old traditional hand wheels so you can have the back upright and use like a normal chair

Most brands still sell real bedchairs instead of sleep systems, most brands have a sleep system with a separate sleeping bag such as Solar/Trakker, Fox also has real bechairs but with the option to zip a real sleeping bag on it
Nash/Avid are the two most knownthat make real sleep systems, for me a sleep system is a bed where you can zip the top layer of a sleeping bag onto the mattress.

I don't think anyone still sells a true bedchair. I still use my old jrc X-lite as a day chair from time to time.

Does anyone actually still make bedchairs or are they all just beds now?

Perhaps have a look at the Sonik. I’ve got the SK tek 5 season sleep system. It was about £230.

Ive had a Duralite for a couple of years, and really like it. I find it very comfortable and it feels wider than it actually is.

Hi all, I’m aiming to buy a new bedchair in the new year. My old wychwood has been great but it’s coming to the end.
I’m looking for a unicorn - the perfect balance been weight and comfort. Needs to be light as I barrow long distances at times but I’m not getting any younger and need to look after my back.
Has anyone used the fox duralite , or can recommend anything else?
Cheers

thank you all for your suggestions.
I have returned the Avid bed, kept the 5 season sleeping bag and will be giving night fishing a go on Z (or W) frame bed to see how i find it initially. A bed will be purchased at a later date if i enjoy it. Avid and there heated mattress topper looks quite appealing :D

I’m looking at a new sleep system too, as I currently have the fox flatliner, I find it heavy and cumbersome, I’m leaning towards an avid bed, with the usb heatable mattress as a bonus as there about 50 quid ( the usb heater/topper/mattress)…. But not sure which one to go for, it’s such a minefield I’ve been looking at this upgrade problem for 2 years now …
As I prefer a hard mattress/bed for my back, I’m over 6.1ft tall and don’t want anything to heavy as I fish tamar lake and have to lug my kit ….

I’m not sure as iv seen them for 260-270s I paid 180 for mine i did look at the system but I prefer a bed and a bag
|

|

I’ve found beds fit into two neat categories
The weight of a mini metro but comfortable
Liftable but uncomfortable
I go a (Nash mf60) for a week session and B (old Nash) for single nighters.
There’s not a bed on the market (imo) that does both.

for some reason, the avid leveltech beds seem to vary wildly on price.
Is there like varying models which aren't clearly marked? (besides them being standard and X, 6/8leg)

I brought an advanta bed in the sale about 6 months ago, used it on a few overnights and it was ok then used it for a 3 night session drove straight to the tackle shop on the way home and brought the avid leveltech bed, absolutely killed my back but I am 18 stone and I was feeling the bar even with the elastic tight. My boy now uses that bed as he’s only 10,
As for the sleeping bag I had an advanta 4 season bag that I used for a good 2-3 years couldn’t realy fault it

I’ve got one of the sleeping bags, it’s a decent 5 season bag.
Fleece top half and smooth bottom half from what I remember.
I rarely use it as I have got the Fortis one too which I prefer as it packs away smaller, however the Advanta is definitely warmer.

I bought one of those beds when they were £60ish a few weeks ago. I would say it is a decent bed for that money, nowhere near the quality of the Trakker superlight bed I also use but then its nowhere near the price.
It's on the smaller side, I'm 5' 10 and would say I only just fit on it comfortably. It also creaks. A lot.
No experience of the bag but its a 5 season bag so unless you are going in the winter, if you've never been night fishing before you're probably not starting now, I'm sure it will be fine for you the rest of the year.

I have the cx4 sleeping bag, it's done me OK for 3 years so I'm sure that will be perfect

Why waste money upgrading if you are hardly going to use it.
you might not like going night fishing yourself so stay as you are until you are sure you want something a little better.
Not sure on the products you have bought but if it’s too cold you Can always buy a thermal cover to help

Seems there’s only one in the relationship who’s hesitant to pull the trigger.

That advanta bedchair is a decent budget option, I have bought one myself.
It's just the same as the wychwood the costs £140.

A lot of people don't like systems and prefer a separate bed / bag combo. It depends on what you want. One thing you might want to try to do is check some out in a shop, if possible.
Otherwise, the Solar CH08 bedchair is a good price and is very popular here - not hugely different to Solar SP-C Tech that costs 2 x the price. Then it's a case of finding a suitable bag, but a lot depends on the conditions you're going to be out in. For what it's worth, I have the SP C Tech and a Trakker Big Snooze bag (smooth lining) with the Korda bedchair cover. Works for me.

Hello all,
I have done very little in the way of night fishing, partly due to my wife telling me that she doesn't like to be left alone at night.
Well this weekend just gone, we were at the carp show in London and i pointed at one of the bed chairs that i've had my eye on for sometime but have been hesitant to pull the trigger due to the above and worry as to how much use i would geto ut of it.
It turns out for this christmas she had actually gone and bought me a bed and sleeping bag, kind of like a gesture to encourage me that its ok to go out at night. The only reason she told me is that she fears she may have made a poor decision in what she has purchased bless her.
I had my eye on an Avid Benchmark sleep system and my wife has bought the following 2 advanta products.
https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/advanta-discovery-ccx5-5-season-sleeping-bag
https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/advanta-discovery-ccx-straight-6-bed-superlite
I have always been skeptical of the quality of Advanta products.
She is said we could return them and put the funds towards something else.
So the question is, is their a widely recommended sleep system for around 250 pounds?
Thanks for reading
Daniel
