I have never understood those who profess that a block of coach seats is preferable for sleeping to a business class seat. Yeah, you can lie flat but one arm will be deprived of stretching room due to the seatbacks (as opposed to having two armrest and space as in business) and the armrests (even when retracted as far as possible) and seat belt assembies jab at your side and back. And if you are on a three-across section of middle seats (as on a 767), your legroom likely will be less than in business unless you can find a way to stick your legs out into the aisle without getting bumped (and waking you up) or impeding the flow of passengers, flight attendants, and carts.</font>
Personally, I would prefer 4 or 5 coach seats because you can lay down flat. If you sleep on your side or stomach, this is important. If you can sleep well on your back, then C seats do just fine.
