And when you're ready to get some rest, you can easily adjust your seat to your preferred reclining position or into a fully flat bed with more than 6 feet of sleeping space.

While United Premium Plus does not offer the "lie-flat" beds found in Polaris Business Class, it is significantly easier to sleep in than standard Economy. The seats in Premium Plus are wider and offer a deeper recline (typically around 6 inches), which allows for a more natural resting position. Crucially, these seats feature adjustable leg rests and footrests, which help take the pressure off your lower back and legs during a long-haul flight. United also provides elevated bedding for this cabin, including a Saks Fifth Avenue plush pillow and a thick blanket. While you are still in a "seated" position, the extra personal space—roughly 38 inches of "pitch" compared to 31 in economy—means you aren't as cramped by the person in front of you. For travelers who find it difficult to sleep sitting up, a supportive neck pillow is still recommended, but the overall comfort level in Premium Plus is a substantial upgrade that makes arriving at your destination feeling refreshed much more likely.
