787 - most uncomfortable long-haul aircraft ever?

Just returned from my first 787 economy flight across the pond with the 10 abreast seating in economy. I really can't believe how uncomfortable this aircraft is in economy.

I have never experienced such narrow seating and ridiculously thin armrests.

I have no idea what Boeing were thinking allowing 10 seats. Both myself and the lady next to me were quite thin and yet we spent the whole flight practically on top of each other. Impossible to move in your sleep without waking the person next to you and impossible to sleep in an aisle seat without being bumped repeatedly by people passing in the narrow aisles.

Given the average size of people in the USA I wonder how this seating is going down in the states! I will actively be avoiding any route using 787 from now on.
