SIN-HKG. The new business class is all its cracked up to be and even more. Gucci duvet / pillow was a great touch too. I wished I was on a longer flight so I could enjoy it more! If I could give six stars I would. I hope SQ can upgrade all their business class seats to this standard.

The new business class seats are all they are hyped up to be, vastly better than the Spacebed - but avoid rows 18 and 20 as there is no window and this makes for a claustrophobic experience. In a full plane (FRA-SIN) the service can be a little slow and there are only 3 toilets for 42 seats, not as good as 4 for 50 on the 747.

After a truly delicious lobster dinner served with a choice of wonderful wine and after dinner port, we watched TV and the endless selection of movies and other programs. When it was time for bed we were given a package of pajamas and toiletries. This aircraft has 12 seats in first class, each seat folds into a completely flat bed. I am 73" tall and had no trouble stretching out completely without my head nor toes touching. We had a very comfortable night's sleep. Everything was perfect and the attitude of all employees, from check-in to finish, was always helpful and positive.

The new seats are less comfortable compared with former B-Class seats. The wide extension allows only one arm the armrest. I rather found a comfortable position for sitting. Rebuild to a flat bed, the comfort is OK, even for a man of 1,90 like me. Result, good for night-flight, uncomfortable for day-flight.

SFO to India though SIN. Took care to book flights SQ15 / SQ16 since these were the ones with the new business class. The seats are excellent. On the way out my wife and infant baby were with me. Even with bassinet there was plenty of space. The bassinet is not a hindrance for the flat bed. However when the seat is converted to bed or vice versa the bassinet has to be lifted a little. So make sure that you do your conversion before little one falls asleep. The seats are fully flat but the sleeping position has to be diagonal. I am 5'7" and had no problems in lying flat. However a taller person might find the space a little small. The seat has plenty of personal space and some neat little amenities like a vanity mirror and plenty of small spaces to stow your stuff. The screen is huge and inflight entertainment was great. The seats are converted to bed mechanically. That is you push a latch and fold the seat down. There should be little chance for failure here. On my return flight my IFE had a problem and wold not work. The steward promptly took care of it and had it reset and working again within a few minutes.

ZRH-SIN, perfect flight, the new seat is very good with lot of space, screen is huge and bed is very comfortable. Service as usual on Singapore Air is very good too. Would not fly any other way.

MEL-SIN-LAX, JFK-FRA-SIN, all in 747 First Class. Excellent seat comfort, in my experience same as BA and QF. Great service all round. Last leg, luckily daytime, SIN-MEL was on a 777 and First was an old-style seat which was angled lie-flat in a 2-2-2 configuration. Frankly it looked like Business Class - luckily I was not trying to sleep. There is sometimes a significant variation in seats depending on aircraft age and type. First is overall fantastic though and highly recommended!

The seats itself are huge, but too flat. Some contouring would have been good to enable "sit up" support. But no complains about the personal space especially with the cabin's 1-2-1 layout. Also forward space between seat and screen (which are now huge by the way, 14 inch I think) is cavernous with loads of well though out amenities built into the forward areas of the seat. (flanking left and right of the screen). On the left you have a 'make up mirror' while on the right you've a power source, internet line, space for knick-knacks etc. In your arm rest are also very useful cubby holes. All in all these seats are great as they can lie flat and the entire shell of the seats and forward areas are linked providing passengers ability to lie completely flat, fully supported. Can't wait to try these planes out on longer haul flights. Mine was a short jaunt between S'pore to Hong Kong.

MEL-SIN on possible the worst business class seats in the SIA fleet. Given this is an overnight flight, one would expect at least the space bed. Singapore staff are great, but the old style business class on this service is very poor. No way to get any sleep. To make matters worse, the advertising for the new Business Class is everywhere, so this serves only to reinforce the pathetic seats on our service. Come on SIA, upgrade the service or lose business to others.

I find it hard to beleive that SQ cannot offer either a first class or a decent flat bed in business on their 18.5 hour SIN-EWR run. I was lead to believe that the C class on this flight was "upgraded" to make it more spacious and comfortable. Looked like all their other cabins. The best thing I can say about the seat is that the mechanisms are so complex that they provide hours of uncomfortable entertainment while you try and figure out how to optimize the controls. Food, as usual was terrific, but how much can you eat while sitting around?

SIN-MEL. The Spacebed sliding seats were dreadful! Kept sliding all the time, couldn't sleep. Most definitely will not fly SQ for the Spacebed again.

At first I found the skybed on the SIN-LHR route quite wierd in that you slope downwards and drift off to sleep feeling like you are going to slide off, and the controls almost need a manual to operate, but I discovered that it is very comfortable when you angle it upwards under your knees. The lumbar support was insufficient though, and I had to put a pillow in the small of my back as well as behind my head. It certainly beat the apalling old-style business seat on my night flight from MEL-SIN (777) in which I could not sleep much at all.

LAX-SIN-MLE. Extremely disappointed in the spacebed. While the food and service were top rate, that did little to mitigate the uncomfortable seat. My sleep was frequently interrupted by constant sliding and the annoying bump in the seat. I had heard for years about Singapore Airlines and was surprised by the mediocre comfort factor. At least now I know that "lie flat" does not mean horizontal!

Business angled lie-flat seats on Singapore Airlines. There is a way to avoid slipping down in the angled flat position. Put your seat first in maximum recline position and the push the button of your seat cushion to retract (should be the arrow going right). The middle of your seat will be moving down - so you will get a dent in your lying position, move it as deep as you like and your hips or bottom will fit nice into the seat and you will no longer slip down the seat.

SYD-SIN-SYD. I found that the Spacebed was extremely uncomfortable, and the food should have been alot better for business class. Thai Airways are more comfortable and the service is fantastic. You can actually sleep in their business class. It will take a serious think for me to consider going Singapore Airlines again.

LHR-SIN-LHR. Agree with other comments here. The Spacebed is very poor. I can live with the meagre amenities pack, while the food, entertainment and service were excellent. However, I found that there wasn't enough shoulder room with the seat in any position other than fully upright or fully flat. When fully flat, of course, I slipped down to the floor and couldn't sleep! I also found the control panel less than obvious to understand. SIN-BNE-SIN flights on the 777-200 with ordinary seats was overall far more comfortable. To sum up - either install proper flat beds, or stick with seats. Don't try this halfway house.

SQ is falling further and further behind its competitors. Lack of amenities compared with other airlines and that very annoying sliding feeling do not make the seats or the experience worth the money.

Most disappointing for an airline that praises itself as being the best in the sky. I spent the whole night slipping down. After having to stand in the business lounge in SIA's hub (full) not ready to try again soon.

I found the seat too short and, like others have said, I found myself slipping down to the end of the seat due to the angle. There's a strange bump in the middle of the seat which is pretty uncomfortable when sleeping. Not that impressive, I have to say.

LHR-SIN-MEL return. Have to say I was a little disappointed by the SQ Spacebed - felt as if I was sliding down towards the floor and struggled to sleep. I also found it difficult to get in and out of the seat when it was fully extended. I did find the capsule-type hoods encapsulating the seat a bonus though, as it added that little extra privacy and blocked out stray light etc. However, my biggest disappointment was the seat became jammed twice whilst flying to Singapore. This then involved calling a helpful FA who had to remove the seat cushions and pull some kind of cord which reset the seat to the upright position. When it occurred a second time, another FA deemed the seat defective and moved me to another seat in the cabin.

SIN-ATH. My wife and I had a poor experience with the seats. It was as though we had not adjusted the seats correctly. Surely they could not be designed to slope down like this.

A reasonable flat-style sleeper seat. Controls are somewhat complicated and it has a very high basic seating position. Seat reclines to an 8 degree residual angle so the old song- 'Slip sliding away' is relevant if you are not appropriately dressed to make sure you do not slip down.

Too short and very uncomfortable. I found the older SQ seats more comfortable.

A very comfortable seating and spacious. The only thing, with the "space bed" - in order to get comfortable for sleeping, I could not make the seat to be totally flat as I feel that I was sliding down; so I needed to angle it a bit.

SIN-SYD. This is only about a 7 hr flight, but I did manage to sleep on the somewhat hard, almost flat seat. Lying on the blanket made things a bit more comfortable. SQ service deserved its 5 star ranking however.

LAX-TPE-LAX en route to BKK. Left LAX Christmas night. I thought the seats were very comfortable and very space efficient. I found that it was easier to sleep with the seat not fully reclined. In fact I'd been asleep most of the trip when I discovered that it went even further flat. I did feel the sensation of almost sliding towards the floor on the ride back to LA as it was extra bumpy and I attempted to sleep on my side. However, I adjusted the seat belt tightly just below my hips and it kept me firmly in place without making me feel trapped.
