Aero-TV: Sleeping On The Job -- JetBed's Solution for In-Flight Napping

While Aviation May Be The Most Exciting Biz in The World, A Nap Now and Then Couldn't Hurt...

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."

Join Aero-TV for a look at the JetBed concept... just before we copped a quick nap...
