If so, I'd rather be elbow-to-elbow in coach. Just say no to air beds! Is this like Radisson’s Sleep Number Bed? If so, I’d rather be elbow-to-elbow in coach. Just say no to air beds!

Both American and Lufthansa have a similar product - a chair that turns into the bed underneath the person infront's seat but both of them a very uncomfortable as they don't go completely flat and you end up sliding down them for the whole of the flight. The solution of alternate seat/armrest/seat is interesting and hopefully will work. This is still a better solution than BA's where half the cabin ends up facing rearwards.

They say in the video that it is compliant with both FAA and EASA regulations, but I'm not sure if they've actually been approved by them or not.
