The Problem – particularly on medium to long haul:

• When we are tired we need to lie down, but we can't do this in Economy seats

• Reclining the seat into the space of the passenger behind is anti-social

• Pushing the hips forward to create a better angle of recline results in the spine being unsupported

• The weight of the upper torso is suspended between the shoulder blades and the coccyx

• The front of the seat pan presses into the back of the thigh, inhibiting blood supply

• Contortion results in stress to the limbs

• In some cases this can contribute to the onset of DVT

The Solution:

• Elimination of conventional twin beams

• Redesign of seat architecture within a fixed back shell

• An articulating seat pan

• An internal recline which fully supports the spine and lumbar region

• Reduction of limb stress and the elements that can contribute to the onset of DVT

Greater knee room and access to under-seat space

• Aft beam raised above knee level rather than at shin level

• Exploiting the lumbar curve creates more knee room

• Clever construction + inclined slide gives access to under seat space

Internal recline using patented inclined slide - 5" forward, 2.5" downward

• Up to 45° recline fully supporting the back and aiding comfortable restorative sleep

• 5" extra leg room without physically increasing the seat pitch
