Aircraft seats are provided which may be convertible between a seating
condition and a bedding condition. According to exemplary embodiments,
aircraft seats comprise a seat bottom, a seat back, and a pair of arm
rests positioned laterally with respect to the seat bottom, the seat back
being mounted to the seat bottom for pivotal movements between an upright
position (wherein the seat back extends vertically upwardly relative to
the seat bottom) and a reclined position (wherein the seat back extends
substantially horizontally relative to the seat bottom), and each of arm
rests being coupled to the seat back and the seat bottom so as to be
moveable between raised and lowered positions in response to the seat
back being pivoted from the upright position to the reclined position,
respectively. Each of the arm rests may define an upper surface which is
in a downwardly sloped disposition when the arm rest is in the raised
position thereof and is in a substantially horizontal disposition when
the arm rest is in the lowered position thereof. In this manner, the arm
rests may be moved to a more comfortable disposition when the aircraft
seat is converted from a seating condition to a bedding condition.
