hmmmm. can anyone confirm this? The one trip report I saw on airliners does not cover this portion, but if indeed you can recline further than the old J seat I would view this as a big improvement.
Here is the link for reference:

Both old and new seats recline but I didn't notice if one reclines further than the other. I have not flown the old one for awhile - been lucky enough to fly F instead. LOL
But what is very noticeable is that the new one has a very nice cushiony feel, softer and more bouncy. You "sink" into it. New New J wins the New F in terms of seat comfort (mind you, not New New F which should even be better).

That's my trip report actually.

so the new new J still requires you to flip the seat back down to convert to bed mode?

And converting back to seat needs a special trick: push down slightly then release - (not in the manual btw)

I don´t fly SQ too often, so correct me if I´m wrong, but IMO there´s not a huge difference between the J seat on the 77W and 380 and the "new" J seat being introduced?
Personally, I´m slightly surprised about the introduction of the new J seat since SQ is still using some "old" (rather unimpressive) J seats on SIN-AKL as well as some European routes.

funny you mentioned that. i've always thought the color was very weird also, but not because it feels like a hospital. i've always thought that the blue didn't match anything in the cabin, especially with the orange/brown seats. the only think i guess it matches is the equally ugly socks.
