One thing that is kind of strange as well, is that when you have the seat in the recline position, there is a big gap between the top of the cushion and the headrest. I don't understand why they didn't think about having the possibility to lower the headrest further down so it could be positioned closer to the back cushion (when this is in the reclined position), because the way it is right now is just plain and simple stupid
I had similar problem recently flying from SFO-HKG-SFO; my foot starts to "sleep" / numb when in recline position, which I think it's caused by the thigh area not having enough support from the seat.
If I were to fly CX again, I would not want to be in middle or window seat, since I need to move around to get my blood circulation going with these new seats.
CX really should re-evaluate these seats, very uncomfortable.
