This comfortable chair is called Morph , designed by London Seymourpowell. The product has attracted attention from major aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus.

Detailed information about the seat size and passenger body size and dimensions will be entered into the computer by the staff and adjusted. Before taking off, there will be tour guides taking you to your seat.

Unlike traditional seats designed for one person to use detachable padding, this new product will be designed as a long piece of cushion attached to an extended backrest frame for all three seats.

The armrests between the seats can be moved to the left or right to create a sufficient width for the occupants. This is the most important change of the chair.

Besides, for each chair, a piece of seamless cloth is placed from the face to sit down to the bottom, creating a hammock chair. The seat side of the seat can be adjusted by raising it up or extending it to fit and comfort the user.

The comfort of this chair is primarily for passengers with oversized bodies. Instead of buying business class tickets or buying dual tickets, they will be ready to buy a seat in the economy class and no longer have to worry about sitting tight and uncomfortable.

Jeremy White of Seymourpowell company said: 'An airline told us that if they had passengers with oversized bodies, there was no other way, their passengers had to buy two seats.'

These passengers may have to pay extra for this new Morph seat. In contrast, people with small bodies will have to pay less.

Moreover, if the passengers are in a family form, it will be very convenient and economical, the seat is still very comfortable when there are children accompanied by an adult.

Jeremy White said seats can also be adjusted to suit other privacy needs such as mothers with children, working people, disabled passengers .

Early next year, manufacturer Airbus announced it would design an additional 5.08cm in the aisle between the new A320 seats to keep up with the trend.

Analysts have proposed applying "weight tax" to serve the needs of passengers with larger body sizes.

Expected in April next year, Samoa Air will become the first airline to operate the system "pay the fare by weight".
