Luckily, as my flight was not full I was able to relocate from 10J to 08J but encountered the same malfunction there. The arm rest in the empty 08H thankfully did collapse and lock combined with lifting the console arm upwards allowed me to sleep intermittently for a few hours.

The Lufty example is notably more comfortable in my experience.
