Solar SP C-Tech Memory Foam Sleep System MKII Wide

The Solar SP C-Tech Memory Foam Sleep System MKII Wide is the top of Solar's C-Tech sleep range: 100cm of sleeping width, a 6cm Memory 6 mattress and a dual-layer 5 season duvet under a 20k waterproof shell, all as one unit. If you fish long winter sessions and have spent one shivering on a bed too narrow to turn over in, this fixes both problems at once.

Why this is the flagship

• 100cm sleeping width with the duvet built in — you can turn over inside the bag without dragging the whole thing with you, which is why narrow sleep systems feel cold.
• Dual-layer 5 season duvet, rated from -10°C — both layers for frozen nights, one for spring and autumn, and it packs away as part of the bed either way.
• SolarTex D 20k waterproof shell — handles bivvy condensation and weather blowing through a door you left open.
• Oversized baffle and anti-snag zips — no cold strip down the zip line, and no fighting a snagged slider at 4am.
• Memory 6 mattress with layflat lumbar support — 6cm of 50-density foam built into the frame, not a pad laid on top.
• Oversized oval legs, Spring-Loc, high-tensile aluminium, 225kg+ — this is the heaviest bed in the range at 20.8kg, and the frame is specced to match.

Sizing and fit

The Solar SP C-Tech Memory Foam Sleep System MKII Wide measures 208 x 100 x 40–52cm at 20.8kg, rated 225kg+. Two things to check before you buy. First, your bivvy: at 100cm wide plus a duvet, this fills a compact shelter, and you want floor room left for luggage. Second, the carry: 20.8kg is a barrow job, not a long walk with a rucksack on. If either is a problem, the standard-width Solar SP C-Tech Memory Foam Sleep System MKII gives you the same duvet and mattress at 90cm and 19.4kg. Connection points for Solar's lightweight shroud are built into the frame; the shroud is sold separately.
