thanks for all your replies on this but really no need to argue, like realbusdriver said we all have our own opinions on things otherwise the world would be a sad place!

i've now had a chance to look at both and if i was to go for either i think it would have to be the campbed. purely on the grounds of space in the car! however i will say that if space was not an issue i would go for a fishing chairbed.

need to run it past err indoors and see what happens.

thanks again!

No need to argue on this one. Nash "WideBoy" bedchair beats ANY campbed for comfort, big and bulky though, (Like me, thats why i got one)

And a snip at just over £200.00 each

Think the comment was because realbus driver jumped in and made a stupid comment on something he had a distinct lack of knowledge of and did not have a clue about.

Carp anglers (i am one) often spend a week at a time in there bivvy's (not tents) sleeping on bed chairs thats why comfort is a priority. As stated, the best is the Nash wide boy or the Nash indulgence. The link will show you the type of bedchair available. 

As stated the downside is the weight.

If you dont like the pricetag of the Nash wideboy check out the TF Gear Comfort zone kingsize, I got mine for £117 off ebay new.

I've used a Terry Hearn JRC Stealth fishing bed chair for a 10 day campout and found it the most comfortable bed to sleep in over a SI Mat or campbed. It is worth the expense and is not overly heavy but is a bit on the bulky side.....

careful mate who your calling stupid, some folk take serious offence at name calling

this old lads been fishing for over 35years  ( pleasure ,match, carp & sea angling ,with varying degrees of success) and has done his time overnight on the bank side, 3,4,5 night trips,  as such am very aware of whats involved and STILL say the clue is in the title,

for the really stupid , 1 is called a CAMP BED because it's designed to take camping ,in a TENT ( cheap ,lightweight and utilitarian, the other is designed to get a comfortable kip on while maggot drowning of a night

Fishing bed-chair all the way given the choice of the two. Its built for a purpose, can be put at whatever angle you want, has adjustable feet and folds down to a reasonable size. You pay for what you get really, camp beds are fairly inexpensive and weak in comparison, whilst fishing bed-chairs can go to over a couple of hundred pounds but will last. I spend a lot of time on the bank, fishing and I have the JRC Cocoon and its now 4yrs old and still like new, I have taken this camping a few times only to find the missus pinching it of an afternoon to read a book or sleep.

I have to agree with most that its not all in the title at all, as they're are both designed for the same thing - sleeping, just under a different guise, just go and check a few out, any good tackle shop will have a few on display.
