> The button’s there so that passengers buying the ticket feel like they have additional room. Perhaps. For me though, not reclining means feeling physically sick. The seat pushes my head forward, which in turn makes me curl forward, compressing my stomach, which makes me feel ... sick. The worst turbulence has never given me nausea. The seat on an upright position does. Every time. It also gives me back and shoulder pain. Some of this can be mitigated by putting a pillow or a folded jumper behind my lower back but it's not good enough. Also, that presses my knees against the seat in front. Which gives me other kinds of pain and discomfort. And eventually makes me feel sick.
