Any thoughts would be welcome as the bulkhead seat probably won't be open for long.
The right-side forward bulkhead seats don't get too much light or noise from the forward galley on overnight flights due to a curtain the flight crew usually runs out over there once meal service has concluded.
If light and noise is a concern, I would recommend the forward bulkhead versus the rear cabin. I have not noticed curtains on either entrance to that mid-BF cabin galley; in fact, on my first experience in the new BF layout, I had a little trouble sleeping in 8E due to the light.
