Sonik SKS Bedchair
Struggling for comfort when it comes to fishing on rough ground, but don’t have the budget to splash big cash on a bedchair? Then the Sonik SKS Bedchair could be for you.
This lightweight, comfortable and affordable bedchair is from Sonik’s full-luggage range, introduced following the success of Sonik Gravity X carp rods, which bolstered the Blyth-based fishing tackle company’s reputation for reliability.
Founded in 2008, Sonik Sports is already one of the leading manufacturers of carp rods and carp reels in the UK. The company is known for its use of groundbreaking materials, such as nanoalloy, a carbon fibre used to produce its slimmer, lighter, stronger Gravity X rods, and the consistent high-performance of its products. As a company of experienced anglers, Sonik is committed to developing outstanding and original tackle at prices all anglers can afford.
The Sonik SKS Bedchair is no exception to this, providing comfort no matter how rugged the terrain or how long your session thanks to its six individually-adjustable round legs and three-position adjustable backrest at a competitive price.
The legs are one of the most important parts of any bedchair, and the adjustable legs and mud feet of the SKS Bedchair enable you to adjust it to be sturdy and on the level no matter how bumpy the ground you set it on. This means a massively-reduced risk of tipping out of it when reaching for your tackle or finding yourself in the dirt come morning after sliding off in your sleep, as well as an end to the rocking and wobbling that drives many anglers up the wall.
The three-position ratchet means you can adjust the angle of support to suit your needs in seconds - you can sit fully upright to survey the water, recline on it sun lounger-style and soak up the rays while waiting for your bite alarm to sound, and flatten it out to give you the best-possible chance of a natural, restful night’s sleep. And don’t forget, the more well-rested you are, the more fish you’re likely to catch - not least because you’ll be happy to spend more time on the bank.
Sonik has thought outside the box when it comes to the ratchet system of the SKS Bedchair as, unlike most bedchairs, it doesn’t use hand wheels; hand wheels can fail over time, so the lack of them means this bedchair will last longer than many others.
The aluminium and stainless steel frame is light yet sturdy, enabling this Sonik bedchair to support a substantial amount of weight, while the fleece-covered foam mattress is well-padded, making it warm, comfortable and well-suited to an extended session on the bank. The skirting is made from heavy-duty, hard-wearing 600D fabric and has extra internal padding to protect you from the frame and further ensure your comfort, whether you’re sleeping or simply waiting.
It also features a fleece pillow, meaning you don’t need to pack a separate pillow and carry it bankside with you unless you’re looking for extra comfort. It’s embroidered with the SKS logo and in the same muted green as the mattress, which is synonymous with Sonik and ideal for carp fishing tackle.
Speaking of carrying kit, the hand wheel-free design of this bedchair means it will fold down completely flat and stay that way thanks to the included fold-down strap that keeps things nice and tight, making it easy to transport whether you’re carrying it by hand or bunging it in a barrow.
Sonik Sports has further strengthened its reputation as a developer of innovative, dependable and reasonably-priced fishing tackle with the Sonik SKS Bedchair; if you’re in the market for a well-made, long-lasting bed chair that won’t break the bank but will increase your comfort on it, you won’t do much than this.
