Mattress trial in JCL to LGW and ORD this month
Hi everyone, just a heads up, those flying to LGW and ORD this month will be in for a treat again. CX is trialling mattresses once again on these two routes and seeking passenger feedback. (Sadly, I am flying AA on my TPAC this month, so no pictures this time!)
As I got the chance to experience it previously, the mattress is really one of the parts of the JCL trial that shone through the most. It is a lot more sturdy and comfortable than many other competitor offerings. The most unique thing is it attaches to the seat in a way that it holds for all recline angles, and you do not need to remove it up until arrival at the gate. Hopefully this time it will work and get rolled out!

I am very excited to hear about the mattress pad. I never had an issue, but this will indeed cause me to stop asking for a separate duvet....which I normally use as a makeshift (and not great) mattress pad.

Constant flow of acronyms and abbreviations to learn. I am guessing that JCL means Business Class. Used to be that just J was enough.
I flew J to ORD on Nov 1. Mattress was nice. And no DOD!
Flight was very empty in J... maybe 20-30. F was maybe 3.
Meh service, even when empty. SMH

In the meanwhile, try asking for PEY blanket next time. Similar comfort, a lot less stuffy and heat-trapping. (suggested by some helpful crew I flew with!)

Is CX still doing trial runs of the mattresses?
