I’m no longer hunched over after a two day session and to be honest, night fishing has become much more comfortable. The second issue, as a low chair, they can be comfortable or uncomfortable depending on how much the ground slopes. And if you use it as a fishing chair etc, then getting out of it in a rush is not easy without rolling out of it and then standing up unless your a gymnast. Trakker has not done this with the Trakker RLX 6 Bedchair, and I was pleased to see that. The bedchair itself is actually 4kg lighter and much longer and wider than my old Total Fishing Gear Bedchair. As the name suggests, the Trakker RLX superlite Is a lightweight, flat profile carp fishing bedchair. It has been specifically designed to be lightweight and easy to transport, without compromising on comfort.

If you also try to move the chair forward to the edge of the bed to get the legs to reach the ground, that does not work either, it still slopes forewards but you also find that you can feel the side of the bed pressing through the updated seat of the chair, and that to is uncomfortableto even attempt sitting in that position.Firstly, Trakker has reduced the padding in the central section of the bed chair, which makes up a fair proportion of the weight of most modern bedchairs. To counteract the loss of comfort here, Trakker has included a roped midsection instead of elastic. I got a Trakker RLX Nano chair as I thought they would be good with being able to use it as a "bedchair buddy" or as a low or guest chair, but, despite bringing it fishing it stays in the car usually.

Whilst it is not as comfortable as it’s bigger brothers, Trakker have done everything in their power to reduce the weight without compromising on comfort. Why they made 12" legs and then only made 3" extensions, I don't know why. I doubt you could make your own extensions as they have a Groove in so they must have to fit a stud inside the frame. It was probably designed in a factory environment on a perfectly flat floor on a bedchair without its legs extended. Now given the style of this bedchair, it only makes sense to start by discussing size and weight. Coming in at just under 7kg, the Trakker RLX 6 bedchair is officially one of the lightest bed chairs available on the market. The size of your bedchair is also vital to a good night’s sleep. Now when it comes to designing a lightweight bedchair, it can be easy for a manufacturer to simply make the whole thing smaller.Length wise, the Trakker RLX 6 comes in at 206cm, so fine even if you’re over 6 foot tall. In terms of width, you’ve got plenty to play with at 78cm too. It’s no Nash wideboy, but perfect if you’re of average build like myself. On the other hand, I want a bit of comfort too but not too much that I feel I’m taking a king sized padded bed with me! For me, the Trakker RLX Flat 6 Superlite Bedchair finds the perfect balance between weight and comfort, and that’s the reason it will be my bedchair of choice for the foreseeable future. A big part of the stability of your bedchair will come from the leg mechanism. The Trakker RLX Compact Bedchair has 6 adjustable legs which can go from 28cm to 38cm. Whilst I find that fine for most of the swims I come across, it may still leave you uneven on steep river banks. That being said, I don’t think there’s any solution to that really.
