Where this kit fits in
A bedchair is the second-biggest comfort decision after the shelter. Sleep systems bundle a bed and a sleeping bag; a flat bed like this one leaves the bag choice to you, which keeps the price down and lets you swap bags between summer and winter.
How it actually works on the bank
Six legs spread the load and make it easier to level on uneven banks, since each leg adjusts on its own. The flat design (no raised head section) suits anglers who sleep flat or use a pillow. Some retailers now list the Flat-6 as superseded by newer RLX models, so check the listing details and the seller before you order. We could not find a published maximum load for this model.
The full picture
The RLX Flat-6 is a flat bedchair on six individually adjustable legs with an aluminium and stainless steel frame. Retailers list it at about 7.5 kg, 214 × 78 cm open and 76 × 78 cm folded, with a height of 27 cm that extends to 37 cm. It is a bed only: you add your own sleeping bag.
What we like
- Six individually adjustable legs for uneven banks

- Folds to 76 × 78 cm
- Much cheaper than a full sleep system
What we don't

Long-term ownership notes
Frames last; the parts that wear are leg locks, mud feet and the bed fabric where it rubs the frame. Keep the leg mechanisms clean and dry and the bed will outlive several sleeping bags.
Care & maintenance schedule
The routine that keeps the Trakker platform running for its expected lifespan.
- After muddy sessions: rinse the mud feet and dry the leg locks
- Fold and store dry to avoid mould on the fabric
- Each season: check leg locks hold under load
- Use a bedchair cover to protect the fabric from slime and mud
