Side Sleeping in BF
Side sleepers-is it possible to sleep in the "new" BF seats on the B777 long-haul flights?

Definitely. I am a side sleeper and I think the new 777 seats are quite good for us side sleepers. I take my own pillow and prop that between the armrest and myself to give some additional support.

Side Sleeping
I too am a side sleeper and find the 777 BF seats great for this. While it's still not a true lie-flat bed and there is an ongoing issue of "sliding down" the seat, I've managed to have some great sleep on my side there. I find the BF seats to be extra wide, allowing extra room to curl up and get good sleep.
I've haven't been as lucky on the 767 BF seat, but you will sleep fine on the 777 on your side.

It is! It's actually fairly comy as well! I am very particular about what I am sleeping on, and the BF seats have never been an issue.

I'm a tummy sleeper, and didn't have a problem on my 757.

I'm a big guy and 6' 5" tall and have had no problems side sleeping on the CO 777. I did EWR~PEK run last August and I'm on same run again 2/24 . I think that the 777 seats are wider than other biz seats.

Has anyone tried to spread out a foam yoga pad over the seat? It works wonders...you don't have to practice yoga but it will soften and minimize the hard edges of the seat.

I don't know about side sleeping on the BF seat...but I am very familiar with slide sleeping on it
