I found it quite incredible that the seats were so uncomfortable for sleeping. I just do not understand
why the seats recline in a forward position. Sleeping is difficult as one is constantly trying to avoid
sliding forwards. Even when using extra pillows to try to prop my legs to achieve a 180 degree angle I
was unable to adopt a comfortable position to sleep.

I flew EVA Air's new Premium Laurel Class from Taipei to Bangkok. The in-flight service was probably the
best thing. The seat was not the best I've ever seen, I wasn't able to sleep very well because it was an
angled lie-flat.

It's a mystery why they chose such an uncomfortable seat design, when there is enough space for a lie-
flat. Can't believe this design is any less expensive for the airline. Will need to sort this out, as I
will choose another airline for next Asia trip.

An amazingly uncomfortable and tortured sleeping experience. Seems the engineers at EVA
were in a bad mood or just misguided when they designed the EVA Business Class seats. As
reported here and elsewhere, the seat is awfully uncomfortable in the so-called "sleeping
position". In the upright position it's comfortable for watching TV or reading, but when
night comes watch out. Such a shame, since a decent flat seat would have fit in the space
they have available.

Its not fully flat and sure its not as good as BA or Virgin Atlantic Upper but you aren't
paying those prices. Service has always been more than ok, and food too.

The seats are terrible. They claim to recline fully at an angle - but you slide off and
literally into or under the seat in front. EVA may need to change when others are rolling
out real flat seats. Not much privacy (no screen or divider). Bathrooms are nice and
clean. I only get about a 2-4 hour sleep due to constantly struggling to stand up while
sleeping.

LHR-BKK-BKK-LHR. I found the seat comfortable in the upright position but the fully
lowered position was terrible - at an awful angle which makes you slide down constantly.

The seats are horrible. Hard and unforgiving. They are not flat and you have to use the
seatbelt over one leg and under the other to stop yourself sliding down. Service is also hit and miss.

The Premium Laurel seat lacks the comfort one expects in a business class product. The seat itself, when reclined, is
not fully flat with some awkward angles. It is also positioned high when in the full recline position which adds to
the sliding down effect.

Decent AVOD although some rivals offer much wider selection of movies. Ordered food prior to departure which gave
much greater selection and all meals delivered as requested. The seat itself is angled but I found that with a couple
of pillows and duvets (the flight was quite empty so we were able to source spares) it was comfortable and I managed
7 hours sleep on the flight out. Its not BA or Virgin in terms of bed but was very cost effective.

Flew Taipei to Seattle on one of the first 777's outfitted with the new seating. I cannot comment about my seat as it
did not work the entire 11 hour flight; despite the heroic effort of the flight attendents to fix it. Might as well
flown economy and saved $3000. My wife's seat functioned normally. However, once reclined there is a tendency to
slide down, as was noted by other travelers. EVA needs to consider fixes, even if it ultimately results in another
're-do'.
