I have a flight on SQ279 J coming up shortly. How hard is it to sleep in the angled flats?
The trick to sleeping in angled lie flats is stopping the "slide down" effect. I've found the best way to do this is put the seat in the pre-set bed mode, which makes them flat (at an angle), and then move it ever so slightly back towards seat mode - which puts a small kink in them and makes a big difference.
Sleeping is the main criticism for these seats, for sitting up during day time flights I find that they are fine - in fact they are wider than some airline's fully flat seats (eg QF, MH A330 seats) , so you do get a reasonable amount of width or "wing space", albeit not as much as the long haul SQ products.
