I'd like to meet the people who designed and selected the seats in Biz cabin on TG's A350.

Flew in seat 15A today for a short 4.5hr flight. While good privacy and plenty of leg room, the seat design leaves much to be desired:

1. Bottom cushion is not padded enough. It's sitting on top of a solid steel frame that makes it very uncomfortable after a few hours.
2. Zero storage areas
3. Seat belt that is hard to reach the buckle to un-do because of how the arm rest is designed.
4. Thin padding on the arm rest
5. Paint that was quite literally pealing off all of the painted metal surfaces. While this plane is rather new, it looked like it was 10+ years old and had been well loved.

Great service on the flight. But, I sure hope someone addresses the seat issues.

I am sure the seat won’t change, the costs would be excessive.

I didnt experience the issues you have described.

I would have to say that I found the seat very comfortable

The seat is normal. I don't find it to be more uncomfortable than other modern biz class seats.

For long haul, a thin mattress is provided to improve sleep comfort.

ditto above average imho

I don't understand why they don't put more foam in the seat? I guess its fails after many years of use and they don't want to put in new foam after 5 years?

I'd usually use a blanket as a mattress. That's what I do on their rather uncomfortable Stelia Solstys on A380s.
I guess you can use the same recipe on their A350s too (supposedly same seats than on A380s)

You know what I find extremely uncomfortable? The throne seat in the retrofitted A330. A death sentence to people with wide shoulders.
