I've got the xlite level bed, light & comfy, only downside for me is short legs on uneven banks.
Hunt the stone is often played

Like others I opted for the one Gerry recommended, a wychwood one with a sim. I already had the sim so reduced the cost further. I tightened the elastic a little on mine to make it a bit harder, as I had the sim for comfort.

Also have one of these, very comfortable given the weight but the legs don't have a lot of adjustment for uneven ground, quite often have to seek the help of a friendly stone

Jrc xlite flat bed is what I have
Very light and comfortable it's quite low to the ground but that's one reason why I bought it 👍

I've used a benchmark life for years now, replaced the ropes with cable ties which saves about a kilo.

Sleep system weighs about 8-9kg, I use the heated mattress early spring and a Gardner cover through the winter and it's still only around 12-13kg

Avid Benchmark Lite? Had mine 4 years now and much prefer it to the Benchmark mk2 I had before it. That was insanely heavy and the weird leg spacings made it a pain to get on the barrow. I'm a side sleeper and prefer the lite as it has a bit of give in it, making it more comfy for side sleeping. I'm only 5'7” and 13st though. The bed on its own weighs 6.5kg from memory.

Another vote for the Wychwood Tactical X
Super light at 7.5kg
I'm 6,1, 16 stone and a side sleeper and comfort is ok, I used to use a Mountain Equipment Helium 3.8 SIM, but found it too inslating in the warmer months.
Without it its ok for a couple of nights.
