Face it... we work in the one of the most exciting industries in
the world... but every now and then, one needs to take a break and
catch a few ZZZs in order to be ready for the business and
excitement to come. SO... it made sense that the JetBed caught our
eye after a LONG hard day of slogging through the halls of NBAA
2010.
JetBed came about because current snooze-worthy options for many
aircraft left something to be desired. JetBed notes that, "Berthing
seats are awkward to use, expose the seatbacks to damage and when
finally made-up into beds, the resulting sleep accommodation is
narrow and quite uncomfortable.
If one wishes to sleep lying on one’s side, all the
underlying seat shapes make finding a comfortable sleeping position
virtually impossible, especially since studies show over 90% of
people sleep on their sides. As you can imagine, not being able to
comfortably sleep on one’s side creates a serious problem for
the average VIP passenger."
JetBed also informs us that, "A FLAT surface to sleep on is very
important to achieve proper comfort and rest, especially on an
overseas flight where the executive is expected to
hit-the-ground-running the moment he gets off the plane. Unlike
ordinary one-size-fits-all aircraft beds, the Jet-Bed is truly
custom made to fit your exact aircraft MODEL by contouring to your
specific sidewall configuration, seat width, seat height and club
spacing. No other so-called aircraft bed manufacturer even comes
close in fit, quality American construction and especially
comfort."

copped a quick nap...
