Thanks for the info & input. Does the headrest itself recline 129 degrees along with the seatback, so that your full upper body (including your head) is in alignment when reclined? The other scenario is that the seatback reclines 129 degrees but the headrest itself doesn't recline at all or as much, which would make it much less comfortable (and I think was the case for me seating in a hard shell Y seat some years back, can't remember the airline though).
I will also search on youtube for any videos showing the PE seat in full recline.
