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.
You want torture, fly AC's very expensive deflating J seats on their 777/788/789s. At least the pillow and duvet are decent and the bubbles are the same that is served on NZ.
I used my Aeroplan miles for the 2 UA TPACs SFO-AKL and back as they were part of a major 6 sector trip including AC to SFO, NZ AKL-SIN, SQ F SIN-AKL and so on using my Aeroplan miles. So worth it. And NZ, with that memory foam mattress.....awesome
All of them and NH and BR, have completely different seats even if AC and AA have the same cabin on their 789s. I bailed from AA, thus no OW, and so my flying tends to be mostly *A.
That said, I was actually happy to try UA. I had low expectations but the seat was perfect, the bedding and that gel pillow were insanely fantastic and I slept 11 hours of the flight to AKL.
Overall, I find that NH does some amazing things but they don't fly to where I am based so I will always have to connect to fly them.
