Reliably comfortable. Responsibly made. We’re redefining the business class cabin experience.
About us
Unum is the credible alternative in aircraft seating supply, redefining business class comfort through its smart, adaptable, and reliable design. The Unum One family of lie flat, direct aisle access business class seats deliver a consistent passenger experience across single and twin aisle aircraft and offer superior comfort and style. Our goal is to become the most trusted aircraft seating supplier in the world, set a new benchmark for consistent on-time delivery, and inspire design that is both passenger-focused and responsibly made. Unum understands the day-to-day challenges that face the wider airline team – product design, engineering, technical services, procurement and commercial. We’re making the pain points of delayed deliveries, inflexible service and profit over people a thing of the past, and ushering in a new way of doing business – and business class seats.

It’s work experience time for the aerospace engineers of the future 💺🌎 This week, we welcomed Robbie McInnes, studying BEng Mechanical Engineering & Aeronautics at University of Glasgow. Over the next few weeks, Robbie will get hands-on experience across all the engineering disciplines at Unum, plus advanced product development of a mechanism for one of our award-winning seats. Already halfway through his first week, Robbie says, 'It's been great to apply some of my learnings to developing a real-world solution for the business class seating sector. I can’t wait to see some of my work on a future Unum seat'. Drop some of your work experience stories in the comments to inspire Robbie as he continues working at Unum. #workexperience #aircraftseating

TESTING, TESTING! We’ve been busy at Unum, completing yet another successful week of dynamic testing✅ As our dummy prepares to accelerate to 16G in less than the blink of an eye, they’re calmer than ever… Why? Because both Unum One and Unum Two have undergone extensive, CAA witnessed dynamic testing proving our ADOA capacity and capability. It's ready, set, go for our next C127c TSO approval! #DynamicTesting #TSOapproval

Fancy an interesting read today? 📱📰 Huge thanks to Runway Girl Network and John Walton for featuring a conversation with Chris Brady on Unum’s origami-inspired Door 2.0 concept and launch customer programme from Aircraft Interiors Expo last week. Chris Brady takes John Walton through the complications of doors – and how in partnership with MGR Foamtex Ltd, Unum has created an innovative patented product that can fold to a quarter of its original size, is certified as a curtain rather than a door and tackles overall weight and emission issues on aircraft. https://lnkd.in/em2wQZXT #AircraftSeating #AIX #cabininteriors

You have three guesses to who visited our stand at Aircraft Interiors Expo 🍄 Need a hint? He plans to go back to Mushroom Kingdom on a seat designed by Unum… Our celebrity guest experienced Unum’s “Comfort Hero”, our patented Scimitar seat mechanism in Unum One and Unum Two for both single aisle fleets and large twin aisles, and our first widebody production seat (Unum One for A330) with fully integrated RAVE Ultra hardware.
