Overall I still prefer the Longhaul J seat with its width as it offers the best sleeping comfort to me (which is most important to me). The flipping and average seating comfort is a compromise I can accept (I flip the seat once to sleeping position and once back before landing, so not really much of a discomfort to me).
Yes , too narrow for us ( worst than EK ) and I seem to inadvertently press the “ buttons “ so end up calling for help , moving the seat & such ..
Hit my head all the time just trying to manoeuvre , look out of the partially blocked window - cocoon divider

The crew always helps me to flip my seats anyway . They are always only too pleased to assist us .
Like the wide seats where I can place everything within reach and look out of the windows .
