Hat's off to Nash, the company has really come up
with a winning product now in the shape of the Nash
Wideboy Bedchair.
The Indulgence range of bedchairs received many
plaudits when they were first released with the
padded mattress section being hailed as a
revolution. The release of the Wideboy Bedchair
is the icing on the cake.
A good nights sleep is essential for those doing
mid-week overnight sessions between work, and with a
Wideboy bedchair a good nights sleep is pretty much
guaranteed! The wideboy is nearly twice as wide as
some "normal" sized bedchairs on the market, giving
people of all shapes and sizes the option of finding
their most comfortable position to sleep in.
Two smaller people could fit comfortably on the bed,
for those who take their partners fishing, or, for
those who choose to take their four legged bed
hogging friends fishing this bed is a godsend!
Whilst weighing in at a hefty 13.7kg is one of the
down sides to the Wideboy, the sleep that you will
get using one does offset the extra weight issue
(fining down on other luxuries will keep the weight
on the barrow the same as with a normal bedchair).
Once in the swim, the four legs give the bed a very
sturdy position, helped by its large mud feet, the locking mechanism on the legs
is much better than the one used on JRC bedchairs,
once a leg is locked it stays locked. The standard
setup leaves the bed at a good height off the
ground, not so low as to be difficult to get out of,
and not too high that seating in low shelters is a
problem. It is worth people thinking about
purchasing a Wideboy to measure their bivvy/brolly
first, as it might not fit in some smaller shelters.
For some reason, Nash have put a phone/alarm remote
pocket on the mattress of the bed, whilst this may
appear a good idea, once the sleeping bag is on the
bed, there is no way you can get anything out again.
There is also a small pocket underneath one of the
sides, which might be useful for putting keys,
phones or remotes in.
All in all, the Wideboy is a great piece of kit, and
the sleep you will have on one is incomparable to
any other bedchair that I have tried, the Nash
Indulgence Wideboy is perfect for a good nights
sleep.
Look out for an even stronger version being released
soon for the larger carpers!
