Haven't been in C Lounge in ZRH, but SEN is nice and cosy, and not too crowded. What really amazes me is that it's so QUIET. Really relaxing. And they have a huge Nespresso machine, so you can have a proper cup of coffee, which I greatly appreciate.
Internet access is paid at both, T-Mobile at FRA, Swisscom at ZRH. At ZRH they occasionally distribute vouchers for Internet access (I have no idea under what conditions - my company uses iPass, so I don't bother).
At ZRH, there is a rather large area (compared to the lounge size) with proper desks (actually looks a bit like cubicles
) with network cables, so if you need to do a bit of work, that's a good option.Oh, yeah, there's also a big smoking area in ZRH lounge.
FRA has some sleeping/rest facilities, I'm not aware of any at ZRH.

ZRH C has a bit more space than the SEN lounge.
Food choice bigger at the SEN lounge.
SEN lounge is on 2 levels (ground an level 1) as C lounge is all on level 1.
On level 2 you have a bar (smoking area).
Showers are in the C lounge.
Both lounges have an internet corner with PCs you can use for internet acces in case you travel without a laptop.
Both lounges can be crowded at times, but get empty pretty fast when the bunches of flights leave ZRH around 12.00-13.00 h or 16.00-17.00 h.

Just ask at reception for the vouchers. They're good for one hour's access for one device. But this isn't a problem, as it's possible to get several vouchers at a time.

Yesterday evening 07:00 PM SEN AND C lounge:
You could neither walk nor stand somewhere and had the feeling beeing in the Tokyo metro during peak hours.
Lounges to small or too many SEN's

They are not "daybeds" but there are reclining chairs in the Welcome Lounge as well as in the non-Schengen SEN lounge (Concourse B).

In the Bus lounge in B there are beds. Turn right when you enter, go past the toilet facilities until the lounge opens up. Walk along the wall to the window (the beige reclining seats are to your right). To your left there is an open doorway. There are day beds in there.

There are also reclining chairs in the FTL lounges or at least in the one I have been to lately in Concourse B because of its vicinity to the gate. I did not use it but from what I could observe they seem to be absolutely suitable for a nap.

The Senator lounge at JFK is lovely, I would think one of the best in the LH system and certainly comparable to some other airlines first class lounges. Some time ago I posed pictures in a lounge report which can be found in the LH forum.
