Quick verdict
Verdict
The Trakker RLX 8 Leg Bedchair is a proper comfort-first bedchair. Its completely flat profile, full-length lumbar adjustment and 50mm high-density foam mattress make it a strong shout for long sessions where a decent kip matters.
It’s not a featherweight bit of kit, and the 130kg maximum load won’t suit every angler. But if you want stable support, easy levelling and a sleeping bag that can stay attached when the bed folds, this is a cracking all-rounder.
A comfortable, stable bedchair with useful adjustment, though the weight and load limit need careful consideration.

The robust perimeter, high-density foam, eight-leg frame and practical folding details make it feel well equipped for regular carp use.
The flat profile, lumbar adjustment and adjustable legs should deliver strong support and easy levelling across a range of swims.
It won’t catch fish directly, but better sleep can leave you sharper for bite-time and less worn out during long sessions.
Double hinges, side straps and plenty of leg adjustment keep setup and pack-down fairly straightforward.
It offers a strong comfort and stability package, although the weight and 130kg limit mean it won’t be the best fit for everyone.
Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing longer sessions. The flat profile, lumbar adjustment and stable eight-leg frame are built around getting a better night’s sleep.
- Anglers who leave a sleeping bag attached. The double-hinge frame and side securing straps make pack-down a lot less of a faff.
Maybe skip if
- Mobile anglers doing lots of quick move-around sessions. Nearly 14kg is a fair old lump when you’re shifting swims regularly.
- Larger anglers over the stated load limit. The 130kg maximum load means it’s not the right pick if you need more capacity.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Trakker RLX 8 Leg Bedchair
There’s a lot to be said for a proper kip on the bank. When the rods are out and the lake goes quiet, you want to climb into the bag knowing the bedchair beneath you isn’t going to fold you into a banana. That’s where the Trakker RLX 8 Leg Bedchair comes in. It’s a comfort-led carp bedchair with a completely flat profile, plenty of adjustment and a stable eight-leg setup.
The big selling point is that flat sleeping surface. No raised head section. No annoying dip through the middle. Just a level platform from end to end, which should feel far more natural if you like to sleep stretched out. It’s also handy if you regularly spend proper time on the bank rather than treating the bedchair as somewhere to perch while rebaiting.
Underneath that flat profile, Trakker has used a 50mm-thick high-density foam mattress. That’s a decent slab of cushioning, and it should take the sting out of harder ground and chilly nights. The mattress centre uses a waffle-knit microfleece finish, giving the sleeping surface a softer, less plasticky feel when you’re in the bag.
The other comfort trick is the full-length adjustable lumbar support. That’s dead handy because everyone sleeps differently. Some anglers want a firmer feel through the lower back, while others prefer the bed to relax a touch. Instead of being stuck with one fixed setting, you can tune the support to your own shape and sleeping position.
Stability is another big part of the pitch. Eight adjustable legs give the bedchair a broad, reassuring base, while the rotating mud feet help spread the load when the swim is soft. If you’re setting up on uneven ground, that extra adjustment should make levelling the bed much easier. A level bed is a happy bed, mate.
The frame uses a double-hinge design, which is particularly useful if your sleeping bag lives on the bedchair. You can fold the whole lot down without stripping the bag off every time. Two side securing straps then compress the folded bed, cutting down the faff when it’s time to pack away after a bite-time session.
There is a trade-off, though. At approximately 13.95kg, the RLX 8 Leg Bedchair is no lightweight. That’s the price of a beefier, comfort-focused platform with eight legs and a chunky mattress. If your swim is a long walk from the car park, you’ll feel that weight. For a settled two- or three-night campaign, it makes more sense than for a roving day ticket approach.
The maker lists the bed at approximately 205 x 90cm, with some retailer listings showing a slightly different open footprint of around 209 x 82cm. Either way, it’s a generous bedchair rather than a compact little number. Check the space inside your shelter before buying, especially if you’re squeezing it alongside a barrow, bait station and a mountain of tackle.
Load capacity is listed at 130kg under normal usage. That’s important to keep in mind before you get carried away with the wide, comfy design. Within that limit, the RLX 8 Leg Bedchair looks like a solid option for anglers who prioritise support, easy levelling and a less compromised night’s sleep. It’s proper carp-camp kit: not the lightest, but very much aimed at keeping you fresh when the lake finally switches on.
Our take
The angle
This is a bedchair for anglers who’ve had enough of waking up twisted like a discarded rig tube. The flat sleeping surface and adjustable lumbar support put comfort right at the heart of the design.
The big question is simple: are you happy to carry nearly 14kg for a proper, stable sleeping platform? If yes, the RLX 8 Leg Bedchair makes plenty of sense for longer carp sessions and awkward swims.
What you’re buying
A flat, supportive platform with the practical bits sorted
The RLX 8 Leg Bedchair is built around comfort rather than minimum weight. The completely flat profile gives you a more natural sleeping position, while the 50mm high-density foam mattress adds a useful layer of cushioning between you and the frame. The waffle-knit microfleece centre is a nice touch for comfort, especially when you’re climbing in and out of the bag during a cold night.
Its full-length lumbar adjustment lets you set the support to suit your back. That’s more useful than a small head-end adjustment if you’re fussy about how your bed feels. The robust outer perimeter should also help protect the mattress edge from the knocks and scrapes that come with normal bank work.
Eight adjustable legs give you plenty of scope for levelling the bed in a wonky swim. The rotating mud feet are designed to distribute pressure on softer ground, so you’re less likely to have one leg gradually sinking while you’re trying to get your head down.
Worth knowing. The maker lists the bed at approximately 205 x 90cm, while some retailer listings quote around 209 x 82cm. Check the dimensions of your shelter and the exact retailer listing before ordering.
Best on the bank
Ideal for settled sessions and anglers who value their kip
This is a strong choice for the carp angler who spends multiple nights in one swim. If your routine involves getting the rods clipped up, sorting the margins and then settling in for a long session, the extra comfort and stability should earn their keep. The flat profile is especially appealing if you dislike curved or hammock-style bedchairs.
It also suits anyone who wants to leave a sleeping bag attached. The double-hinge design means you can fold the bed with the bag still in place, then use the two side straps to keep everything tidy. That saves a surprising amount of faff when you’re packing away after a hectic morning bite.
It’s less convincing for ultra-mobile fishing. Nearly 14kg is a fair old lump, and the generous footprint may be awkward in a tight shelter or cramped marginal swim. If you’re constantly chasing fish around a venue, a lighter bedchair will probably be a better match.
Before you buy
The bits anglers usually want to know
The RLX 8 Leg Bedchair has eight adjustable legs, listed at approximately 42–57cm. That gives you useful levelling range, while the rotating mud feet help spread the load when the ground is soft. Always set the bed firmly and check it’s stable before climbing in.
The maximum load is listed as 130kg under normal usage. Treat that as a real limit rather than a target, particularly if you’re adding heavy bedding or putting extra kit on the bed. Anglers over that capacity should look for a model with a higher stated load rating.
The bed is compatible with other sleeping bags and the Trakker NXG Roll-up Bed Bag 204930. The double-hinge arrangement is the key feature here: it’s designed to let your sleeping bag stay attached while the bed folds, making transport and storage much easier.
