amazing innovation. very creative. but i wonder if the person sleeping in this position is adequately protected against sudden turbulence - considering there is no discernible way of being 'belted' in the economy couch!

Hi Nick. This is from Ed Sims:

Seatbelt for the first prone person extends from the seat as per normal . Second person would have an extension belt (as we currently use for children on parents laps for take off and landing, but a bit bigger.)

All perfectly safe and CAA approved.

Seatbelt for the Spaceplus seat will be more like the Business Premier belt (because its a semi sideways facing seat) but lighter.
