The best seats I have ever tried were the ones on the German ICE. Even in
second class they were comfortable beyond any other I've seen (including
Eurostar first class), the foot rests were retractable, and the *whole* seat
(not just the back) reclined in a lovely sinking movement. Bliss! If only
more train interior designers could match the standards of the ICE...
