My mother physically sat in a skybed last year & rated it high. She is of a mature age (but, I suspect, a tad more mature than Mrs Puchu)also has hip problems & is larger than the average Y seat. She said it was comfy, she had no problems except for the fact that she couldn't work the seat! The FAs were no help in this regard, just told her to keep pressing the buttons & that the seat would not eject her out of the plane.
