The Nash Indulgence HD40 bedchair is designed to give you hotel-style sleep on the bank: a beefy, properly engineered bedchair with a thick, supportive mattress, tough frame and smart features that make getting in and out easy — even after a long session. Below is a full description, plus a practical comparison with other bedchair options you’ll see around the same price point, so you can decide if HD40 is the right fit for your tackle box.
Quick summary
The Nash Indulgence HD40 is a heavyweight, deluxe bedchair focused on comfort and durability. It combines a robust alloy frame and a 40mm high-density mattress with a water-resistant cover, full-length armrest panel, and a design built for anglers who don’t want to compromise on sleep. If you fish weekends, nights and longer sessions, this bedchair gives proper rest so you’re alert and ready when bites come.
What you get — key features
-
40mm high-density foam mattress — thick, supportive and comfortable for side or back sleepers.

-
Low-profile, padded cover — water-resistant outer fabric with a breathable inner layer for comfort and weather protection.
-
Tilt and lock system — quick set-up and a secure locked frame so the bedchair won’t fold under load.
-
Reinforced hinges and joints — designed to reduce creak and flex over time.
-
Padded headrest and arm panel — extra comfort when reading or watching the bank.
-
Carry straps / transport bag — compact enough to pack into a bivvy bag or under a barrow.
-
Weight rating and dimensions — roomy platform designed to take adult anglers comfortably.
Comfort & sleep quality
The HD40’s headline is its mattress. A 40mm high-density foam may sound like a small number on paper, but in practice it delivers far more support than standard thin bedchairs. You’ll notice reduced pressure points (hips and shoulders), less rolling and better spinal alignment. The padded arm panel also gives the bedchair a ‘sofa’ feel when you sit up, useful for evening reads or planning the next drop.
Build & durability
The alloy frame balances strength with manageable weight. Joints are beefed up to avoid the creak and flex that ruin sleep on cheaper units. The mattress cover is tough, easy to wipe clean and resists light showers. All fittings are designed for angling use — no fluff, just practical engineering.
Setup, transport & storage
Set up is straightforward: unfold, lock the legs and headrest into place. The bedchair folds down compactly for transport; it’s not the lightest model in the market but the weight is acceptable for anglers who carry kit on a barrow. A carry strap or padded bag is supplied for protection in a bivvy or van.

Anglers who sleep multiple nights and want better rest.
-
Heavier anglers or those who like a solid, non-springy platform.

Comparison: HD40 vs other bedchairs around the same price
Below are the typical categories and what the Nash HD40 does better or differently. Rather than naming every competitor, this comparison focuses on what to expect from other premium bedchairs in the same price band and helps you pick by priorities.
1. Comfort specialists (thick mattress, plush covers)
Typical rivals: premium “deluxe” bedchairs that prioritise mattress thickness and soft covers.
How HD40 compares: The HD40 sits squarely in this group — its 40mm high-density foam gives superior night sleep compared with standard 20–30mm mattresses. Where some rivals use softer, lower-density foam that compresses over time, the HD40’s high-density foam holds shape better. If comfort is your primary criterion, HD40 competes extremely well.
2. Lightweight/compact travel bedchairs
Typical rivals: ultralight models that sacrifice mattress thickness for pack-down size and low weight.
How HD40 compares: HD40 is heavier and bulkier than these. If you routinely carry kit long distances or prefer lightweight travel, a compact travel bedchair may suit you better. But if you prioritise sleep over a few kilos, HD40’s comfort and durability win out.
3. Heavy-duty chassis models (extra large frames, high weight capacity)
Typical rivals: reinforced frames aimed at very large anglers, sometimes with wider platforms and beefier legs.
How HD40 compares: HD40 has a robust alloy frame and good loading capacity, but ultra-heavy chassis models may offer a slightly higher weight rating or wider platform. If you’re exceptionally large or want the absolute max capacity, check the specific weight rating — for most anglers HD40 is more than adequate.
4. Feature-packed bedchairs (raised headrests, built-in pockets, zip-panels)
Typical rivals: models with lots of extras — raised flip-up headrests, storage pockets, zip-off covers, or built-in dampeners.
How HD40 compares: HD40 focuses on everyday practical extras (padded armrest, durable cover, good headrest) rather than gimmicks. If you like lots of pockets and built-in gadgets, other designs offer those; but if you want the essentials done exceptionally well, HD40 keeps it simple and solid.
5. Value budget bedchairs
Typical rivals: cheaper bedchairs with thin foam and lightweight frames.
How HD40 compares: HD40 outperforms budget bedchairs in comfort, lifespan and quietness. The difference is night and day for anglers who sleep regularly — cheaper chairs are fine for casual or day sessions, but they quickly show their limits on long sessions.

Buying advice & tips
-
Test the mattress — if you can, lie on it in a shop. Thickness and density matter more than linear specs.
-
Check the weight capacity — match the chair’s rating to your body weight plus any kit you might put on it.
-
Transport plan — if you’re barrow-based the HD40 is fine; if you walk long distances consider a compact model.
-
Cover care — a wipeable, water-resistant cover is easier to maintain after nights in mud and drizzle.
-
Extra kit — pair the bedchair with a quality underblanket or sleeping bag for colder months; it improves sleep massively.

The Nash Indulgence HD40 is a serious all-round bedchair for anglers who take comfort and durability seriously. It’s ideal for regular night sessions, heavier anglers and those who prefer a solid platform to sleep on. Against other similarly priced options it competes strongly on mattress quality and build reliability — if you want a no-compromise night’s sleep on the bank, HD40 is one of the best value premium choices.
