Unless you're flying CDG JFK, you're not getting it in the near future. Someone said BOS might get it next.
Those 12-14h hour South American, Asian, and African flights just aren't getting it anytime soon, even though they need it the most.

Just arrived in HKG with AF188 (A350, with the sliding doors)…
…and the beauties were onboard 🎉
My educated guess is that this might also be an aircraft thing. We've heard report just before that BKK had the mattress toppers as well, and our plane was F-HUVC, that just did the BKK rotation the night before.
That, and the printed paper with the mattress topper that reminds the pax that due to customs regulation, the “equipment is part of the aircraft”.

From Business Travel (in French, despite the name 
) :
) :"Air France a dcid d’amliorer la qualit de la literie en Business en installant un sur-matelas.
"Il a t dploy sur New York les routes vers l’Asie et toutes les routes long-courriers en seront quipes fin novembre" explique Sanda Ottavi responsable de l’exprience vol et coordination."
"AF has decided to improve the quality of its bedding in Business with the introduction of an over-mattress. "It has been deployed to New York as well as Asian routes and all long-haul routes will be equipped by end of November" explains Sandra Ottavi, in charge of flight experience and coordination"
This is consistent with the lasts posts mentioning ICN, BKK and HKG. Looking fwd to EO November "Il a t dploy sur New York les routes vers l’Asie et toutes les routes long-courriers en seront quipes fin novembre" explique Sanda Ottavi responsable de l’exprience vol et coordination."

I can confirm that it is available today on AF198 from CDG to BKK.
