Another thread for frequent flyers... long haul

[Wishing on a star]

I am looking at seats that are available for the long haul to Europe.
I am seeing some Comfort+ seats on an Airbus A330.
Here is my question...
There are limited Comfort seats left.
The ones I am seeing are placed where when reclined, you are right in the recessed window space. (Kind of have a window in front of you, and a window kind of alongside/behind you.)

I am reading that it is hard to lean over against the side and rest/sleep if you are on that recessed window. Like it is better if you are in the flush/rib between windows. I believe that this is because of pressure hitting your side/ribs as you lean?
But, I am not sure that this would be true? A pillow might take care of that?
Until I was reading this, I thought that the increased area to lean would be a good thing.
That armrest can be lifted up out of the way, right?

Help!!!

Can’t speak to the A330, but had this issue on a Boeing 777 and never got comfortable, but I can’t sleep on any plane.

Thanks!
It does look to be a fairly deep recess on these Airbus.

We have kept going back and forth about choosing this trip... And, now that I see we might be able to make it possible, I think I am really leaning towards another option.
Crazy!!!!
This trip would be so physically demanding for me... And I think DH clearly prefers a different vacation.
