Does this mean that the lie-flat bed on the Aeromexico flight is only 5 feet long, or am I misreading something or do they tilt their beds versus having a true lie flat seat? As someone who is very tall, this is a key factor for me. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

The seats/beds are lie flat (no angle). However, the entire seating area is angled towards the window. Thus, although the cabin seat pitch is 60" the length of the seat is longer than that. Angling the seats allow the actual flat seat to be longer than the pitch.
