United Airlines Boeing B777 200 (777) – version 4 seat review by BeechMan #37957

This aircraft is configured with the Polaris business class lie flat seats. Unfortunately, these Polaris seats are different than those on the Boeing 787 (wider body plane) and narrower. This was in issue when I tried to sleep and put the seat in the 'lie flat' position. The upper part of the seat moves down into a narrower cavity that I was just not wide enough for my shoulders. The only way I could 'relax' was by rolling onto my side, but that didn't work for very long as it was too much pressure on my shoulders. Also, I am 6'4", and my legs had to bend in order for me to fit into the bed cavity. So although they might be 6'4" long, it is not long enough for a 6'4" individual to lie in it comfortably.

My other issue with these seats is the fact that there is no pouch or place to safely place personal items. there's a small open shelf, but anything I placed on it fell onto the floor of the plane if there was any type of turbulence.

Overall, these seats are nice, but not as comfortable as Polaris seats I have experienced on the Boeing 787. Those seats are more private, and in my experience provided a bit more space.
