When on a commercial plane why do all the passengers sit up right. I understand they are trying to fit the most amount of people in the smallest amount of space. Couldn’t all the seats become more like beds, oriented horizontal with everyone laying down, and they could be stacked vertically. If this isn’t an option they could at least have all the seats pre set at a heavy recline angle, I just see on most flights over 2 hours everyone is trying to rest up. Surprised that one of the airlines hasn’t started to cater to an aspect like this.

If everyone is laying down, you can’t sell them drinks. Huge loss of profit for the airline.
The idea of heavily reclined wouldn’t be bad but likely would take up the same space. No airline is going to spend hundreds of millions to redisign seating for a slight increase in comfort.
And not sure most people would like the literal bed option when flying 1.5 hours for a business meeting. Even long distance, that’s a long time to be laying horizontally.
