Singapore Airlines unveiled its next-generation long-haul business class seat, featuring sliding privacy doors, a fully flat bed measuring 79 inches long and up to 24 inches wide, and a redesigned footwell that creates more space to move feet while sleeping.
Designworks, a BMW Group company, designed the seat. RECARO Aircraft Seating, a German manufacturer, built it. Every seat will have direct aisle access in a 1-2-1 configuration.
The seat will be installed on Boeing 777-9 aircraft and retrofitted Airbus A350-900 long-haul and A350-900ULR aircraft. The products differ slightly between aircraft. The Boeing 777-9 version features a wider 24-inch seat but a smaller 20-inch 4K touchscreen. The Airbus A350 versions have a 22-inch seat width paired with a 22-inch 4K OLED touchscreen.
Selected center seats can be configured as companion beds when the electronic divider is lowered. The dining table stows at an angle to create the larger footwell. Singapore Airlines designed the table this way after passenger complaints about foot space in existing long-haul business class seats.
Features include adjustable upper and lower lumbar support, a padded bedsheet with memory foam, multiple storage compartments, wireless charging, and universal A/C power outlets. The seats offer Bluetooth headphone pairing with supplied noise-canceling headphones. The entertainment handset displays flight information, destination weather, Wi-Fi status, and lavatory availability.
The cabin also includes an integrated myKrisWorld control system that saves passenger seat position preferences for future journeys.
The new cabins are scheduled to enter service progressively from the second half of 2027. Singapore Airlines is also rolling out Starlink connectivity on A350 long-haul and ULR aircraft starting early 2027, in a separate installation program.
