Is it right for you?
Great for
- Weekender and long-session anglers. Comfort for long hours behind the rods.
- Barrow-friendly venues. Weight and size matter less if you’re not carrying it far.
Maybe skip if
- Mobile anglers and stalkers. Too big and heavy to move about with.

The lowdown
Introducing the Nash Indulgence Moon Chair
A round, padded moon chair with a peachskin mattress, fleece skirt and adjustable support straps. It’s all about comfort, not carrying it far.
- 100 × 100 × 40cm
- 7.1kg
- Mesh valuables pockets
- Adjustable support straps
Quick verdict
Comfort first, portability second
Nash’s Moon Chair is a big round bucket seat you sink into. They list a peachskin-covered mattress in Nash camo, a micro fleece padded skirt, twin mesh pockets inside for your phone, drink or receiver, and variable tension straps underneath to set the support how you like it.
At 100 × 100 × 40cm and 7.1kg it’s not something you’ll want to lug to a far swim. It’s one for barrow-friendly venues and long sessions where you’re sat behind the rods for hours.

It's from the Nash Indulgence range, so the build, frame and materials are top notch.
Unbelievably comfy for a long sit, but a proper pain to carry any distance without a barrow.
It's a chair, it won't help you catch fish, but you'll be dead comfy watching motionless bobbins.
Folds out in a flash, but you'll need a barrow to get it to your swim without a sweat on.
A lot of money for a chair, but if comfort is your number one priority, it's worth a look.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Nash Indulgence Moon Chair
Right then, let's have a look at the Nash Indulgence Moon Chair. If you've seen one on the bank, you'll know it's all about comfort. It’s a big, round bucket seat designed for settling into, not perching on. This isn't your lightweight guest chair; it's a proper bit of kit for long hours spent waiting for that one-toner. The whole idea is to bring a bit of home comfort to your swim.
So who's it for? This chair is aimed squarely at the session angler. We're talking the carper doing a weekend, or anyone spending serious time behind their rods. The problem it solves is simple: a sore back. After a few hours on a standard chair, you feel it. The Moon Chair's design is all about letting you sink in and relax, making those long, quiet spells between bites a lot more pleasant.
Think about your typical session. If you're loading up a barrow and wheeling your gear to a comfy swim, this chair makes sense. Nash lists its weight as 7.1kg. It’s not something you’d want to lug for miles. With a footprint of a metre by a metre, it’s a substantial piece of kit. It’s best suited to barrow-friendly venues where the walk from the car isn't a long one.
Looking at the specs from Nash, you get a peachskin-covered mattress in their camo pattern. This sits inside a frame with a micro fleece padded skirt for extra comfort. A nice touch is the twin camo mesh pockets on the inside. They're designed for keeping your phone, receiver, or a drinks bottle close to hand, so you’re not fumbling around in the dark when you get a take.
One of the key features listed by the manufacturer is the set of variable tension straps underneath. These allow you to adjust how much give the seat has, so you can set the support to your own preference. It's a bit of personal tuning for your backside. It’s worth noting that on this standard model, Nash does not list any adjustable legs or mud feet for tackling uneven ground.
That brings us to what you need to check before you buy. First, how far do you walk? At 7.1kg, it's a fair weight to carry. Second, are your local banks flat? With no leg adjustment listed, it’s happiest on level swims or platforms. Finally, Nash doesn't state a maximum user weight or a packed-down size, so if those are deal-breakers, you’ll need to confirm them first.
This chair is all about sinking into that deep bucket seat. It’s a lounger. If you fish busy waters with screaming runs where you need to be on your feet in a flash, you might find an upright chair a bit quicker to get out of. It’s a classic trade-off: the ultimate lounging comfort of a moon chair versus the readiness of a more traditional, upright fishing chair.
So, that’s the picture from the manufacturer’s specifications and our own research — and the details tell a story. Is it the right kind of comfort for your fishing? In the rest of this review, we’ll dig deeper into the features and help you decide if it deserves a place on your barrow.

Our take
Moon chair or upright chair?
Moon chairs are great for chilling, but getting up quickly for a take can be slower than from an upright chair with legs you can adjust.
If you mostly fish short sessions or stalk about, a lighter upright chair makes more sense. If you do weekenders and like your comfort, the Moon Chair is hard to beat on paper.
Closer look
What you actually get
Strip the marketing back and the standard Moon Chair is simple: a round, padded bucket seat on a folding frame. The seat is a peachskin-covered mattress in Nash camo, with a micro fleece padded skirt and an embossed Indulgence logo round the edge.
Inside the bucket there are two camo mesh pockets. Nash pitch them for drinks bottles, phones and receivers, so the stuff you reach for most isn’t lost in the grass by your feet.
Underneath, variable tension straps set how much give the seat has. That’s the only adjustment Nash list for this model. They don’t list adjustable legs or mud feet on the standard chair. Those are what the Deluxe adds.

Your kind of fishing
Is a moon chair right for how you fish?
A moon chair is a lounging chair. You sit down into it rather than on it, which is lovely for hours behind the rods and less handy when a buzzer screams and you need to be on your feet sharpish.
The other big question is the walk. 7.1kg and a metre across is fine on a barrow or a short hop from the car. It’s a different story strapped to your back on a long walk round a big pit.
And think about the ground. With no adjustable legs or mud feet listed, it’s happiest on a level swim or a platform. On a sloping, soft bank you’ll be doing more shuffling to get it sat right.
Great if you’re…
- Weekenders on a barrow. Weight and size barely matter once it’s on the barrow.
- Level swims and platforms. With no leg adjustment listed, flat ground suits it best.
- Long waits between bites. It’s built to settle into, not perch on.
- Keeping bits to hand. Phone and receiver live in the mesh pockets.
Maybe skip if you’re…
- Stalkers and movers. You’ll be carrying 7.1kg every time you up sticks.
- Steep or boggy banks. No adjustable legs or mud feet listed. Look at the Deluxe or an upright chair.
- Fast-take waters. Getting out of a bucket seat is slower than off an upright chair.
- Small bivvies. It needs a metre square in front of your bedchair.
Head to head
Moon Chair vs Moon Chair Deluxe (and upright chairs)
Nash sell two versions and the names are close enough to catch you out. From their own pages, the Deluxe is the same Indulgence bucket seat with legs you can adjust in one touch, full-size swivel mud feet for soft ground (which also go easier on groundsheets), and a bigger camo print.
| Feature | Moon Chair | Moon Chair Deluxe |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | 7.1kg | 8kg |
| Size listed | 100 (w) × 100 (d) × 40cm (h) | 100cm (w) × 50cm (h) |
| Legs | No adjustment listed | One-touch adjustable |
| Feet | Not listed | Full-size swivel mud feet |
| Seat | Peachskin mattress, fleece skirt | Peachskin mattress, fleece skirt |
| Pockets | Twin mesh pockets | Mesh valuables pockets |
| Support | Variable tension straps | Not listed on the Deluxe page |
So it comes down to your banks. If you mostly fish flat swims, the standard chair saves you close to a kilo. If you’re often on slopes, soft mud or a groundsheet, the Deluxe’s legs and feet are the bits you’re paying for. Nash give the Deluxe as 50cm high, so it may sit a bit taller too, but they list its size differently, so we can’t compare that one like for like.
The other route is a normal upright bank chair with adjustable legs. As a type, they’re usually easier to get up from and sit better on uneven ground, but you swap the wrap-round bucket for a flatter seat. Neither’s better. It’s lounging versus being ready to strike.
On the bank
Setting up and getting the most from it
Before you pitch up, clear a flat metre square. With no adjustable legs listed, a level patch makes more difference to how the chair sits than anything else you can do.
Have a play with the tension straps at home, not on your first night. Nash say they adjust the support to suit you, so it’s worth finding your setting in the garden rather than in the dark.
Think about where it lives in the swim. In a brolly or bivvy it’ll eat most of the room in front of the bedchair, so measure your shelter first. Put your phone and receiver in the mesh pockets, and it’s all in reach without leaning over.
After a wet session, let the fabric dry out before you pack it away for a long spell, as you would with any padded bank kit. Nash don’t publish specific care instructions for this chair, so check the tag or ask them if you’re unsure.

Value
Is it worth it for you?
Value here is about how you’ll use it, not a price tag. If you do long static sessions from a barrow, a chair you’ll happily sit in all weekend earns its keep. If it spends most trips in the car because it’s a faff to carry, it doesn’t matter how comfy it is.
We haven’t had one on the bank, so we can’t tell you how it wears over the years. Look after it like any padded kit: dry it out, don’t leave it standing in the wet, and check the frame and straps now and then. Prices move, so check the latest before you buy.

What anglers say
The word from the bank
Comfort is the clear crowd-pleaser, particularly on long sessions; bulk, carrying weight and a laid-back seating position are the recurring trade-offs.
Our take on the feedback
Proper session comfort
Checked Sept '26 — “Independent write-ups and angler discussions consistently pick out the deep, warm seat as the main reason to buy one.”
Best with a barrow
Checked Sept '26 — “Its packed bulk and weight are regularly mentioned, making it a better fit for longer stays than mobile or short sessions.”
Try the seating position
Checked Sept '26 — “The relaxed shape will not suit everyone’s back or preferred posture, so sitting in one before buying is a smart shout.”
