But as a shorter individual (but not so short that it is uncomfortable), I can stretch my legs out quite nicely.

I'm 5.11" (1.8m) and rather like the Spaceseat. Managed to sleep better in it compared to the new-gen "Business-lite" PE offerings, or in Domestic First on UA (when flying trans-con).

That said, still doesn't beat the times when load's so light in Y, manage to snag an entire row of 3 to create a poor-man's flat bed for an overnight trans-pacific flight.
