The seats at the bulkhead only really provide additional leg room/bed length if they don't have a barrier around the footrest. On most other planes there are a few great seats where the footrest isn't flush against the wall when upright, and so when it's in the bed position your feet can stick off the end a bit rather than being restricted by the seat in front or the wall. Not sure whether these exist on this plane though!
Off the top of my head, and don't quote me on this one, but I don't think there are any barriers around the foot stool as they don't protrude out into the aisle (for example like the ones on the 747 upper deck where there is absolutely nothing else around them) but in row 6 on the 787-9 for example, the wardrobes are there, about 6-8 inches further forward, and there is nothing between them. I imagine the real reason is weight saving, but I am sure that is the case.
