I would really like this on trans-continental flights. I don't want the frills of Business but I just want a seat that reclines more than 100 degrees - perhaps 180.
But that's really all business is these days - a lie flat seat.
I'm still waiting for an airline to roll out proper lie-flat seating in Economy, like couchette/sleeper trains: just stack three bunk beds on top of each other. Unfortunately safety regulations make it difficult if not impossible to implement this, and prohibitively expensive for an airline to even try.

Interesting. Have there been many attempts that failed?
For $250 it’s a bargain on a long flight. I once did an 11 hour flight without an upgrade but was fortunate the flight was nearly empty. Everyone got their own row and it made the flight far more pleasant. Fortunately was upgraded on the way home.
Agree - once got an unexpectedly good night’s sleep coming back from Thailand in the same way.
Does anyone have problem with airline headrest. I have trouble sitting up for one but if I can it works best if I can let my head kinda fall back (however had that might be for my neck) at least a little. Now all the airline seat bulges forward and I can almost never sleep.

I was expecting some kind of fancy seats, like business class but more packed. It's simply about sleeping sideway on 3 or 4 normal seats because these flights are far from being full.
Sounds great if you're short. There's nothing pleasant about that for anyone over 6 feet (1.8 m), I've tried. I'd rather sleep sitting up.
1. Have my employer pay for business class; and,
2. Lose 45kg.
Being fat is awful for flights.

Same. If the head rests in particular were concave and could lean back a tiny bit to where my head would not roll onto my neighbor / the aisle / smack the side of the plane I’d be able to sleep on every flight.
