Devil Economy comfort - long haul

My wife and I have been out to NZ twice.
First in 1997 out with Britannia B757 via Al Ain and Singapore to Auckland - really uncomfotable and tight seat pitch - knackered on arrival then back with Air NZ B747-400 via LA - much better with more room due seat pitch increase.
Second time this year with Air NZ out in a B747-400 via LA - OK with same seat pitch as before however the upholstery is getting tired and so less comfortable. Same airline back but B767 to Fiji then LA - both nice trips and fairly comfortable. LA -LHR in B747-400 same problems as on way out.
Have viewers any suggestions as to their idea of the best carrier in terms of value for money coupled to comfort - and no, as a pensioner I cannot afford to upgrade..........!!!!
Thanks,
