The Pilots crew rest is the smallest of all the bunks and theres no ability to sit upright as the only space is the bunk. If you're over 6ft you can't sleep entirely flat out. All this was done at the behest of the boss who wanted a vaulted ceiling in First.

Mind thats better than the 380 with the bunks in the middle of the Economy cabin on the older birds or below decks on the newer ones where once again you can't sleep properly if you're over 6ft. The company knows about the issues but just shrugs its shoulders and says they're looking into solutions. Meanwhile its been about 2 years and still no solutions found.
