Because of the angle and thickness of the door, you had to literally reverse into the seat and the headroom was diminished too.

Boeing has made a pretty plane that is quite comfortable. This time was on a United flight, from LAX to NRT. SeatGuru User on 2016/06/10 Read user reviews for United Boeing 787-8 (788) Layout 1
I still brought my eye cover thingy as I like to sleep on planes, and was able to.

Premium Club Seat 1f 2014/05/06 Basically, it was my second experience on a 787. This is probably the best seat out of first/business class. But I am just a 38" chest (male).The A350 is a little nicer for having a slighter wider cabin (hence the XWB name).From what I read on BA the issue was both seat width and pitch (31"). I prefer the 787 over United's 777 and 747. 2018/10/05 for Seat 4G at least not very easily. The flushing sound from the restroom is noticeable at this seat.

One irate traveller said that he might as well stow away over the wheels. Give it up thomson, stop being greedy and ditch the pitch re the fancy lighting and window dimmers that don't work.
