Wow.
“Many passengers find Cathay’s current business class seats a little hard for their liking when used as a bed, and ask for a second duvet to use as a makeshift mattress, adding an extra layer of cushioning.”
Yes, indeed, that's what I do on LH routes.
Unfortunately: ".... business class fliers will get a thin mattress topper pad ...".
El Cheapo, please do this the right way, like MH, if needed, charge me $1 for that.......
"... business class fliers will get .... slippers .....", OK, great, something I appreciate from BR, above the CX socks.
"Rivals have or are planning ..... book-the-cook .....": An ISM told me, CX is working on this too, introduction not known, though something like "end of this year (2019)", though it seems to not have made it, for now

To me, mattress pad is a welcome addition as using an extra duvet often made it too hot. Slippers I can get quite easily from CX lounge, I might rather get PJs.

I am curious if people who can afford J cannot then afford $0.50 slippers which are no doubt the slip on kind given for zilch at hotels and which one could put in their carry on. Do people carry nothing in case an airline has not provided it? Like a toothbrush? All these airline giveaway items are usually 1/10th as good as what you could buy and bring and not pollute the world more for the sake of saying one deserves it.
