Only flatbed I kind of like is the window seat upstairs on the 744. At least there, my feet can go up on the little storage unit between the seat and the window. (Sort of between my seat and the seat in front of me.)
I like the old barcalounger style J seats, also, although the entertainment options leave much to be desired. I actually slept really well in those.
I also prefer upper deck window of UA 747s, seat 15K, specifically.
On LH business, I didn't like the almost-flat seats at all when in bed mode. It just wasn't comfortable for whatever reason. I really wanted to like it because the service and food and AVOD were so good. It was also cool flying in the nose of the 747 (2H or 3H, can't recall). Can't have everything, though.
