Also, respectfully disagree. I find the mattress pad to be great, even though the seats in lie-flat mode are comfortable without them. Also, they are significantly thicker than the thin white quilted fabric pad that is offered on UA, AA and especially AC. All 3 of those are really more seat covers than proper pads. BR's is quilted like a comforter and covers the entire seat, with a clever design where the top it fitted and slides on top of the head rest part of the seat.

My last few flights on ANA was overnight, and the mattress pad was ready an waiting, I know you get them on day flights, but could not remember if the package was on the seat at boarding.
We don't have to agree on the quality of the mattress pad.
I have yet to fly UA Polaris, as I see no reason to subject myself to that, but their bedding does normally get a lot of praise, and seemingly the seat it self is less hard than the NH seat giving less need for extra padding. And I tend to avoid AA long haul in favour of JAL.
