Seating arrangements are provided that combine standard fore- and aft-facing lie-flat seating assemblies with a center premium lie-flat seating assembly. A center suite can include a center support shell and at least one center seat. The center support shell can provide a plurality of legwells for association with a plurality of standard seats. A center seat can be disposed between legwells in a non-overlapping manner so that legwells straddle the center seat. Surface area can be provided over the legwells to provide generous living space for a seated passenger, and to cooperate with a center seat to provide a bed for a reclined passenger. The support shell can have parallel endwalls orthogonal to parallel sidewalls to provide a center bed that is generally uniform in length and width. Legwells can be disposed in parallel and mirrored configurations.
