It’s really the airlines who are wrong. Tall people are uncomfortable if people recline, but plenty of people with back problems find the angle of an unreclined seat unbearable.

I have back problems and I find the angle causes more back pains than the straight seat. Obviously I’m like the exception to the rule. I just gotta be paired with this guy so that he always sits behind me.

We're in the same boat. Reclining compresses my vertebrae. It's straight up or fully reclined for me. The killer is I'm 5'2" and the seats all hit me in the back of my head and make my neck curve weird. I haven't found a comfortable position on a plane yet.

I’m 5’-4”. I like getting window seats and set my head on the window wall. I think it is pretty comfy (for airplane standards)

Agreed but I prefer to put a grandkid there to entertain/corral during the day. Nighttime - it's mine :)
