Bedchairs

[*Ant*]

I'm looking to buy my first bedchair and thought i'd benefit from the experience of some of you guys.

I obviously need it to be comfortable but I see weight to be a major factor. Should I go for a 4 leg or 6 leg? I'm favouring a 4 leg due to weight and being more compact but are they stable enough, are 4 leg bedchairs prone to tipping up? Ones that have caught my eye are the JRC Stealth, JRC Cocoon, JRC X-light (and x-light roamer) plus the new ones from Nash.

 

Thanks for any input. :confused:

Yes if you forget and put to much weight to far near top or bottom. The DIY answer is to get a couple of plastic 22mm pipe clips and a couple of cheap adjustable banksticks, screw the clips into the theads using plugs and screws job done.

Anthony,

I have only ever used a two legger but then I'm short so don't have the problem with the weight distribution. The three leggers aren't much more cumbersome, or heavy and I think they retail for about a tenner more.

 

If I were looking for new bedchair I'd go for the new Nash ones, they look very nice. I currently use a JRC cocoon 2 which is very good, but the newer ones don't look as good or well made.

 

HTH,

 

Rob.

Having now got a 3 leg bedchair I'd never go back to a 2 leg one. Due to a muscle illness weight is a major factor for me, but the weight difference is minimal.

 

I'm a great fan of JRC bedchairs, finding them the most comfortable. I've never had any problems at all with mine and my current one, the Stealth, is absolutely first class.

i got a TH cocoon 3 leg about 2 months ago, very comfy and stable, i was going to get the TH stealth but in my opinion they sit to low and you can't put anything under them, they are good if you have a umbrella type brolly for more headroom.

I would go with a 3 leg, make its more stable and doesn't really add that much weight

The JRC Cocoon 3 is lightweight and stable too. It´s the best bedchair I ever had. Well, it´s my first one but I wouldn´t like to replace it by anything else. I would go for a 3-leg one. The third leg is easy to remove - but the weight difference is minimal, as Steve said.
