A seating arrangement 14B, suitable for a passenger-carrying vehicle such as an aircraft, having a second seat 16B located to the rear of a row containing a first seat 16A and a third seat 16C facing in a forward direction F; the third seat is off-set forward of the first seat, the second seat is offset from both of the other seats in a transverse direction T, perpendicular to the forward direction, so it is located between the other seats. Preferably portions of the seats overlap one another in the transverse direction in a staggered configuration. Preferably, the first and second seats are spaced apart in the forward direction by pitch P, possibly providing more leg space for a passenger in the second seat below an overhang at the rear of the first seat, particularly when the second seat is in a reclined position. A seat (fig4B,16B) is also claimed having a seat pan (fig4B,18) and back rest (fig4A,20) and can move between an upright state (fig4A) and a reclined state (fig4B) where the pan is forward of, and a rear portion (fig4B,18B) of the pan is lower than, its position in the upright state.
