There was not agreement on which of these two sub-par options were better. Many people found the angled lay flat seats to be awkward and make people feel like they were sliding down, even though you could lat out flat. I personally found DL's BE recliners to be very comfortable for everything except sleeping. I actually found them more comfortable for watching movies and reclining than any of their current products, particularly because the seat padding was much more substantial. All of the current products are rock hard.
