I know ATA used to do MDW-SJU-MDW they used 2 FOs 757, rest seat was the lower JS. USA 3000 before January 2014 did 8 plus hour turns with the JS the FAA approved rest seat. FAR 117 doesn't allow for this type of rest facility anymore.
Class 3 rest facility
means a seat in an aircraft cabin or flight deck that reclines at least 40 degrees and provides leg and foot support.
