It doesn't look like the seats are particularly long (something I appreciate in the forward facing Polaris seats)
That raises a good question, how long will the seats be when in bed mode?
Current bed length is 6'7.5" according to NZ, from a practical perspective it is less, having inadvertently pushed off the ottoman back rest several times.

This link takes you to a video walkthrough, no measurements though

Seat sill faces the wrong way.
Silly little shelf sitting at awkward height.

NZ's chopped personal space

My seat last week. Good size shelf in front of TV, that folds out to become a table, the shelf/table can be slid closer to you as well. Large flat space beside seat for all one's stuff, shelf grows when lid closed for hidden storage. Another little shelf lower to the left of the seat. Seat faces out. Only one window in 7A on the 787 and blocked by airbridge in this pic. Another storage are out of view, to the right of seat below the adjustable armrest.
