I’ve had a few lightweight beds and the Trakker rlx supalight is the best and most comfortable and, although not quite the lightest, still very light. Pair it with a techlite and lob a sim under it and I don’t think it can be beaten for the comfort/weight ratio.

After many years of using it I’m on my second and have already got a new third one stored in case they stop selling them

Interesting replies, and having used the JRC lighter ones, they're good.

However, and it is all each to their own, I like to be able to sleep at night and have found the heavier bedchairs suit me best for that. The light ones just have so much more movement.

But if you're stealth, and don't have a problem sleeping then the lighter ones are great, for sure.

I have the Solar Sleeptec MK1. It is fkn heavy, but I keep the rest of my gear light to compensate, and still be mobile to move on fish.

JRC Stealth X-Lite - 6.7kg (compact sized)
Whychwood Tactical X-Lite Compact - 6.5kg (compact sized)
Trakker Superlite 6 - 6.5kg (full size)

I have all three bedchairs in the loft! (i went thru a phase lol) .... The Trakker is the only full size and amazingly light for its size and very comfortable with a SIM on top.

Its hard to track down an actual light weight bedchair. JRC stealths for example are long gone.

The old rlx flatbeds come in around 7-7.5kg and are much lighter than the new mkII versions

I also find mine super comfy, more comfy than a lot of padded heavier chairs I've had

JRC stealth is 6.5 kilo. If you take thead head end legs off its 5.8 kg, just use your bucket at the head end for support. Depends how keen you are to save weight.
My trakker superlight was over 7 kilo. Dont believe the specs given by companies.

Cygnet ones come in at around 8kg, which isn't bad for 65 quid

I have the Trakker RLX superlite, its also 6.5kg. Had mine around 7/8 years without issues. It is slightly narrower than a normal bed, but never bothered me.

As per another post - Wychwood Tactical X Compact - 6.5kgs

Tacticals are quite 'stiff' and need a SIM IME . . .however if its only overnighters you will save weight without - use mine with a Helium 3.8 which is only another 750g

Looking for up to date recommendations for an ultra light bedchair. No sleep systems, just the bed. Not bothered about height either, solely weight. Cheers πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»
