Yeah I don't see the flipping as an issue. the biggest issue for me is the small foot cubby.
+1. I'd like a little extra padding on the seat back or some sort of a slim mattress if I could "make a wish", but folding down the seat isn't bad versus the very narrow foot area and the need to sit angled when stretching out a bit (at least I do) + the limited lounging recline. YMMV.
