Well, you do! My posterior's first visit to those seats were ca. 1986. Although my chicken is no longer in the Spring, at least it is not yet a stewing bird.

For day flights, I'm happy enough with the extra pitch. Whenever there are Chesterplanes flying lie-flats, I certainly hope that there is an ample mattress pad, as it is the only way that many lie-flats are somewhat comfortable. On flights without same, I end up wrapping the blankie around me so I have some seat padding.
