For two months on the upper deck of the BA54/BA57 (JNB) Club World customers will be offered a mattress topper, duvet and pillow from First. If it proves to be successful then the plan would be to source these items permanently for Club World. Breakfast cards will also be offered.

haha there was an official announcement about this too - part of the recent investment into improving CW - but things have been pretty quiet lately

amongst some other frills (but with no timeline)

The BA website now includes "memory foam headrest and quilted blanket" as part of the CW feature description. The picture at the top of the page looks to reflect a combined blanket and mattress topper.

EDIT: on second thoughts perhaps the words are as they were before but the picture looks new

Surely BA need to be very careful here because if they do indeed roll out all of these changes to CW then the gap between CW and F will be slimmer and there really would be no huge need to upgrade to First or pay for it outright. I cannot imagine them changing the F seat for quite sometime so do you think to make the upgrade to F feasible they will at least make changes to the soft product? Because they need to do something surely or nobody will be that bothered about paying for F. Do BA have something up there sleeve to keep people wanting to book First instead of CW.

Basically - they asked what I disliked about CW - highlighted some of the changes planned (nothing we didn't know about here) and then asked what I felt the difference would be and why would I buy F.
So I suspect BA know what they are doing by bringing CW closer to F and might have plans to improve F too (it was hinted at by the interviewer)
