In the unpredictable world of angling, your sleep system is your sanctuary. While a high-quality sleeping bag provides the warmth, a Bedchair Cover provides the protection. Designed to be the ultimate outer layer, a bedchair cover acts as a versatile shield against condensation, dampness, and extreme temperature drops. Whether you are looking to boost the thermal rating of your summer bag or need a lightweight standalone option for “under the stars” sessions in the warmer months, a dedicated cover is a non-negotiable addition to your kit.
At Gerry’s Fishing, we understand that a damp bed is the quickest way to ruin a session. Our range of bedchair covers features the latest in breathable, waterproof fabrics and thermal linings, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable regardless of the weather outside your bivvy.
Not all covers are created equal. Understanding the technical aspects of the fabric and lining will help you choose the right model for your style of fishing.

Pro Tip: The Condensation Combatant
Many anglers struggle with condensation dripping from the bivvy roof onto their sleeping bag. A waterproof bedchair cover is the perfect solution. To maximize performance during the winter, don’t tuck the cover too tightly under your mattress. Allow a small amount of airflow between the sleeping bag and the cover; this creates an insulating “air pocket” that traps heat and allows moisture to wick away, preventing that “clammy” feeling in the morning.
Summer Nights Under the Stars: When a full bivvy feels too restrictive, a high-hydrostatic-head cover allows you to sleep on your bedchair in the open air. It protects you from heavy dew and light rain while keeping insects at bay.
The Winter Boost: If your 3-season sleeping bag isn’t quite cutting it in sub-zero temperatures, adding a fleece-lined thermal cover can increase the thermal rating by up to 2 “seasons,” effectively turning your setup into a 5-season system.
Day Session Lounging: If you are using your bedchair as a seat during a rainy day session, a cover protects your expensive sleeping bag from muddy boots, wet waterproofs, and spilled bait or coffee.
Q: Will a “Wide” cover fit a standard-sized bedchair?
A: Yes, a wide cover will fit a standard bedchair and actually provides extra “drape” down the sides, which is excellent for blocking drafts. However, a standard cover will often be too tight for “Wideboy” or “King-size” bedchairs, potentially pulling at the seams.
Q: Is it better to have a fleece-lined or smooth-lined cover?
A: This depends on personal preference. Fleece lining offers instant warmth and comfort, which is great for cold nights. Smooth polyester linings are better if you tend to move around a lot in your sleep, as they won’t “grab” your clothes or sleeping bag.
Q: How do I clean my bedchair cover without ruining the waterproofing?
A: Never use standard biological detergents, as they break down the waterproof coating. We recommend wiping down with a damp cloth for minor dirt. For a deep clean, use a dedicated technical wash (like those used for GORE-TEX) and always air dry—never tumble dry or place directly on a radiator.
Q: Can I leave the cover attached when I fold my bedchair?
A: Most modern covers are designed to be thin enough to stay attached. However, if you are using a heavy, fleece-lined 5-season cover, it may add significant bulk, making it harder to lock the bedchair’s tension straps. For the most compact pack-down, we recommend storing the cover in its dedicated stuff sack.
