Tall, sleepy air travelers, rejoice! The Cozy Suite manages to stretch legroom by two inches while fitting airplane seats into the standard economy class 32" pitch. It does this by offsetting the seats diagonally: they still point forward, but each chair sits behind its neighbor. This staggered arrangement also means that there is space to put in a padded side section to lean against and get some proper mile-high shuteye.

What's not to like? More legroom (and at 6'3" I really appreciate every last inch I can get) and a comfy place to park my noggin while falling asleep to the Gadget Lab podcast (it's your soothing voices, guys, not the content). The only problem might be in holding a conversation with your neighbor. Ideal for avoiding pesky tech-blog autograph seekers but not so good if you're traveling with friends.

The best news, though, is that these are not just concept cocoons: Delta is actually installing them in it the economy sections of its Boeing 767s and 777s by 2010.
