Just a note, I did the Dallas QF flight a couple of weeks back. Take a chance and book seats in rows 82-88 (right at the back). The flight is often lightly loaded due to distance (I hear around 80% max).
On the way over the CSM, once in flight, (because I am QFF Platinum) ask if I wanted to move to row with more room, so he assigned me row 86 D,E,F,G. Got a total of around 8hrs sleep in 2 shifts (16hr flight)
Chanced losing my "good" seat on the way back and reselected at row 88E. Again got the whole row. Another 9hrs sleep
I wasn't the only one that got that either way. There were about a dozen of us in the back that rows to ourselves each way.
Remember though, it is still like sleeping on a park bench, but easier to sleep than upright.
