When you pay for F, you expect certain amenities (I expect a pillow and a decent blanket as well as a meal where the meat tastes better than cardboard--and can be cut with the knife provided).

I actually find the blanket useless as a blanket and use it for either lumbar support in regular F or coach, or as a pillow on a lie-flat. I always have a sweat hoodie for overnight flights because I find the planes often cold - the hood on the head does miracles, although I'm probably perceived as a dork by those who boarded with shorts and flops and who are trying to make the blanket work somehow.
I am sure that passengers in Y would gladly switch with me. Would they gladly pay increased fare? The purser gave me an extra blanket, but even the two thin blankets didn't function as a pillow.
