1. An arrangement of aircraft seats for outfitting an aircraft cabin comprising:
at least two columns of neighboring seats, with the seats arranged one behind the other in each of the columns of seats and
each seat being convertible into a sleeper so as to present a stretched out sleeping surface,
wherein all seats of the arrangement are turned in the same direction, each seat when converted into a sleeper presents a
first sleeping portion and at least a second narrower sleeping portion with respect to the first portion, and in two neighboring
columns, the seats are staggered, so that the first part of a seat of a first column is closer to the second narrower portion
of a seat of the second column than to the first part of the seat of a second column, and the first portion of the seat of
the first column is at substantially a same distance from a floor of the cabin as the first portion of the seat of the second
column, and
wherein, in at least one of said at least two columns, neighboring seats are in contact with each other when converted into
sleepers.
