Bedchairs & Chairs

For as long as there has been fishing I am pretty sure there has been night fishing, and as a result, there has always been a need to keep comfortable on the bank throughout this period. Over the years, roll mats, lilos, sun loungers, canvas and metal structures all have been used to sleep on, and in more recent years we have seen a fundamental shift to level flat-bed chairs with all manner of luxurious and comfortable materials ensuring you the best night’s sleep on the bank. We have seen it all, so I thought, but that was until I went to Trakker! Shape is one thing all of the above beds have in common, boasting the typical and traditional rectangular bedlike shape – and why not, I hear you ask? Well, take a look at the first bedchair to break the mould and bring to the market a revolutionary oval system. First and foremost Trakker is renowned for good beds, and having had great success and gaining huge popularity out on the banks with the Levelite range you can expect extreme comfort, unrivalled support and, of course, a flat profile, which is definitely becoming the norm for obvious reasons.

At under 7kg the Superlite is exactly that – super lightweight – yet surprisingly offers great levels of comfort even for myself at just under six feet and weighing in the region of 13 stones too many. Thanks to the durable and well-constructed dual-hinge mechanism the bed folds down in a flat and very compact manner and will even take a winter sleeping bag with ease. Extra lumbar support will prevent the dreaded bedchair sag associated with extensive use. Ample padding provides you with a solid and comfortable frame to sit on and you won’t be up all night banging your arms on the supporting frame, as the RLX is a snug yet supportive night’s sleep.

The new range of bedchairs from Wychwood has been causing quite a stir on the carp scene and has quickly gained a strong following. With three models in the range, each has been designed to bring style, practicability and comfort together, offering a range of affordable, high-quality products. First is the Tactical Flatbed Compact. At a mere 6.
