Nash Indulgence HD40 Sleep System 6 Legs Camo

How well is it built?

Nash have put the strength where a bedchair usually gives out.

The frame has steel reinforcement at its key stress points, which is there to stop it bending when you sit over the centre, fold it up or load it into the car, and that kind of everyday strain is what finishes off cheaper frames.

The extended hinge mechanisms are a clever touch too. They let the 40mm mattress sit deeper over the hinges, and they work with the top-mounted compression straps to keep the whole system flat once it's folded.

From the photos, the legs and frame tubes have a dark finish with chunky leg clamps.

So, will it hold up? From the spec, I'd say yes, and the duvet backs that up with heavy-duty crash zips behind anti-snag baffles. Overall, it's a sturdy, well-designed system without being over the top.

Comfort & Adjustability

The mattress and lumbar set-up are what I'd pick the HD40 for. It uses 40mm of high-density foam rather than memory foam, so on paper it won't match the Trakker Levelite Oval MF-HDR, but the adjustable elastic tension lets you set the lumbar support to suit your back.

The one-touch legs adjust from 32 to 40cm and the leg incline can be set too, so you can tweak your sleeping position and level it on a sloping swim.

The four-season hollow-fibre duvet uses body baffles to warm up faster and hold the heat in, and its smooth nylon underside lets you move without snagging.

There's a detachable mesh pocket for your phone and small valuables that fits either side, and fast-fit toggles take optional pillows, shrouds and mattress sheets. Is it warm enough for winter? With a four-season duvet, I'd expect so.

Overall, it's a comfortable, adaptable system, and the duvet should see you through the year.

Ease Of Setup & Portability

Let's not pretend 16.5kg is light. It's a kilo less than the Trakker Levelite Oval MF-HDR at 17.5kg, but it's still a barrow job rather than something you'll want to carry far, especially with the rest of your kit on top.

Where it makes life easier is the packing. Because the duvet stays on the bed, there's no separate bag to roll up and stuff away, and the compression straps hold everything flat with the duvet in place.

From the photos, it folds into a neat block with the duvet tucked inside and the straps across the top.

Once you're in the swim, the one-touch legs and mud feet make levelling quick, and with the duvet already on, the bed is ready as soon as it's unfolded. Overall, it's easy to set up and pack away, and it's only the weight that holds it back.

Is it good value for money?

So, does the duvet make it good value? I think it does, because a four-season hollow-fibre duvet with crash zips would cost a fair chunk on its own, and with the HD40 it comes alongside a reinforced frame and an adjustable lumbar.

The Trakker Levelite Oval MF-HDR costs more and adds memory foam, a spirit level and eight legs, so you're giving up a little comfort and stability in exchange for a lighter, cheaper system. For a lot of anglers, I think that's the right call.

Overall, I'd recommend the HD40 to carp anglers who fish overnighters and longer sessions through the colder months, barrow their kit to the swim and want a warm bed and duvet in one go.

If you mostly fish summer nights or carry your gear a long way, a lighter bed with a separate bag will suit you better.
