It might be that a person may be slightly vertically challenged, in which case the diminished amount of legroom associated with bulkhead seats is not a problem.
Whereas sitting through an 8 hour flight, and whatever travel ensues after the flight, with ever more sticky clothes, personal effects, and w.h.y., due to spilt orange, might well be.

Wasn´t the original Question:
what the hell is a bulkhead?... during a decompression.
as far as I know, the Bulkhead is the rear end of the pressurized part of the cabin.
So if you take a seat with the bulkhead in front of you, you are sitting somewhere in the tail, outside of the pressurized cabin.

The term bulkhead is used to describe the structures in the cabin that divide it up into seperate areas for class division or between the cabin and galleys etc.
When engineers or pilots talk about a bulkhead we generally mean the structure at the back and front of a pressurised aircraft that forms the ends of the pressure vessel. The front one is just ahead of the flightdeck and normally has the weather radar bolted to it, the nose cone is a separate structure that covers the front bulkhead to make a nice aerodynamic shape. The rear bulkhead is larger and sits behind the rear galley, it is normally curved like the end of coke bottle to help it take the pressure.
