If you think WC is 'cheap', I'd love to be on your salary! And I didn't say 'BA's J product', I said an 'airlines[sic] J product'.

Somehow I can't see Frette being very cost effective given the price of the product to begin with, likely wear & tear and pilferage. I've seen the F duvet appear on fleabay for example.
From that point of view, I think the White Company is not an illogical choice

Some airlines use Frette. AZ use Frette in J and QR in F (they used to in the all J flights too as they had duvets there). However, it's not unusual (and in my view not unreasonable) to try and find 'local flair' by partnering with national brands to try and give themselves a certain image, hence the choice of Liberty for the F wash bags, Severn and Wye for the smoked salmon, etc on BA whereas AF has Sofitel 'My Bed' for their bedding, Carita for the F toiletry bags and Clarins for J and Prunier for their caviar etc.

That will, for yours truly, again be a meaningful differentiator. I can't stand having to hop over peoples' legs in the middle of the night. And neither do I like the dynamic of the screen being continually raised and lowered during meal / drinks service. I almost always go for a window seat so however annoying it is for me, must be worse for the aisle person. So 100% asile access and presumably a full seat redesign that would need to accompany it, would I think be a welcome if a tad overdue step from BA.
