Jumper Jack; I suppose with the mattress pad, sleeping on the side went from uncomfortable to near impossible for me lol.All they had to do to make me happy was to shift the tray table a few more inches up.

Plumber: think he means if you want to side sleep that there is barely enough room already to do so.
If you add a mattress pad (great adddtion imho) , then there will not be enough room for many people to side sleep. Love the mattress pad- wish the tray table was higher, or somewhere different!Simon; The side sleeping thing is a huge issue for me. I have no idea why they built that shelf with the curved indent underneath. The curved extension serves no purpose, functional or aesthetic, and I have not come across it on any of the other airlines we fly internationally on. I wonder if they're even aware.

I hope the folks at AC are reading this and can work on a fix. There's a lot of space wasted with the plastic structure. Please have mercy on those of us who sleep on our sides.
