Interesting update on the situation. Given they see this is a problem with their fleet and it will be some time before the updated seats receive certification and then some more time before they are retrofitted to all aircraft, why don't they just up their wallets up a bed and get a proper mattress for the J cabin. In that way they can can kill two birds with one stone: the constant complaints of deflated seats whilst from a marketing standpoint they could argue that they have the best aircraft bed in North America. Just a thought!
