I posted this link;

on a recent thread on beds in planes. Like someone pointed out above, it only applies to certain seats, and as I've not used one recently, I can't say if it still applies. Think it was a trial.
Someone else also pointed out, the partition only gets moved from the top end!
Don't forget, upper class also has a sit down bar in UC, which is nice on long flights, and you can both get an inflight massage, and eat together, if you want/when you want. I always think Virgin is better for these 'fun' things. Hope you have a great time.
