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>
I dunno either...but then again, I can sleep on my own in a single Y seat (I'm small enough that I don't have any problem fitting decently well). My dad is 6'2" and related the story to me using 4 seats (I guess a 2-4-2 config) in Y. I think the difficulty for some people is the choice between flat on their side or lounged in the larger C seat but required to be on their back and not flat. That's going to end up being a personal preference.
