While Cathay Pacific is generally a well regarded airline, I don't find their business class product to be amazing. While their reverse herringbone seats in long haul business class were innovative when first introduced, they've become the industry standard at this point. On the plus side, Cathay Pacific is in the process of installing Gogo…

Nothing to be excited about. It’s more style over substance, and passengers wouldn’t mind too much.
Better than nothing? NH's thin mattress pads in business class are pretty nice. So if it's anything along those lines it would be good
If I’m not mistaken, they used to offer PJs in J: I have a few pairs still, years after I’ve flown with Cathay. They are Shanghai Tang ( and comparable in quality to the Givenchy offered in SQ F). Perhaps they are from F, I don’t quite recall.
It's about time J is going to get slippers. The lack of slippers was my only gripe about CX business. For an a highly rated asian airline not to have slippers is like serving noodles without chopsticks.
I find Cathay's J seat to be perfectly comfortable anyway, and welcome slippers and a sheet. I just hope they have slippers that can fit my large-ish feet, since airlines and hotels never seem to.
About time but they also need pyjamas. I really don't like sleeping in my clothes. The business class product is below par compared to other airlines in the region. The seats are quite hard to sleep on - the mattress will certainly help to get a better sleep
I'm expecting custom -fitted silk robes, fully tailored in-fight.
Slippers?
I'm not going in the bathroom with anything that flimsy on my feet.
If there is one bedding item I want CX to improve it’s going to be the pillow. CX’s pillow in business is too small to provide adequate neck support especially for side sleepers.
I have several pairs of CX F slippers which travel everywhere I travel. Likewise, fully prepared with PJ's of my choice; not CX though with fiddly button-up top. A mattress/sheet to provide a clean sleeping surface will be very welcome. Always thought the lack of this cheapened the J experience.
CX have a decent seat in Business and good lounges but everything else about their business class is average. Their food is especially disappointing. I would not be any more excited about flying CX in business, than I would in flying American Airlines (both have the same decent seat). Maybe the service is a little better on CX.
Investing in their product. Seriously what will a million pairs of these mass produced slippers actually cost......???
