Extra JetBlue
US airline JetBlue has reimagined its business class seats as private spaces for optimum sleep, designed in conjunction with US mattress brand Tuft & Needle. Its Mint Studio seats, which will debut on a flight from New York to London in the summer, will feature one of the largest business class beds on any commercial airline.
Each business class cabin will feature two Mint Studio seats with adjoining sofa, separated from the aisle by a sliding door – perfect for travellers wishing to avoid cramped cabins post-pandemic (read Covid-19 + Airlines: The Future Flight).
The adaptive memory foam seat folds fully flat and joins with the sofa to create a spacious sleeping area, complete with a memory foam pillow alongside a blanket with a built-in foot pocket for warmth, and is lit via mood lighting to aid relaxation. Passengers will also have access to a set of earplugs and a matching eye mask from the mattress brand. This relaxation-oriented design is sure to be a hit
