Unfortunately, even on an airline as prestigious as Emirates, not all of its business class seats recline into fully lie-flat beds. Instead, seats recline into an angle-flat bed. Some travelers won't find the angle-flat bed an issue.

The business class seats still recline fully flat, but you don't get a separate bed (your seat is your bed), you'll have less privacy from other passengers, and there is less personal space allocated just for you.
Most airlines have lie-flat seats in business class on wide-body (twin-aisle) aircraft. However, watch out for some notable exceptions to this general rule. For example, some Asia-based carriers opt to configure some of their larger aircraft for domestic and regional routes.

Emirates A380 Business ClassThe A380 business class seat is our favorite for 1 reason: the 1-2-1 configuration. There's just a lot more privacy, and you get direct aisle access with every seat. Yes, there are more seats on the A380 — but it's also a monster of an aircraft.
We're told to politely ask these uninvited guests to present their boarding passes. If their assigned seat is in the main cabin, we'll quietly ask them to move. If the passenger refuses, he or she can be removed from the flight — by security personnel, if necessary.
While the seats in business class are definitely more comfortable and have more legroom than those in economy, they generally aren't as luxurious as those in (international) first class.
Putting them in front also allows you to call them later so they don't have to wait in their seats as long before departure and lets them wander the gate and spend more in the shops. In both jets and propeller planes, the section of the plane in front of the engines is generally the quietest.
No one should recline their economy-class airline seat anymore. But if you feel you absolutely must, at least ask for permission. Failure to do so could result in damage to electronics, a hefty dry cleaning bill, or serious injury to your fellow passengers.
