"Rock hard seats, I think I developed a pressure sore." (Jo)
"If you're planning to sleep at Malpensa bring food and hand sanitizer, and sleep in Terminal B!" (Carly)
Good times

After checking T2 was already full of people sleeping (the benches without armrests definitely look great), decided to go over to T1 using the free shuttle. Felt much safer because this is a newer building, much brighter and still had a bar open.
I slept behind the check-in counters in the barstore area. There are some cushioned seats available (McDonald's, Harry's bar, ...) and cleaning personnel does not bother you at all.
Not a bad place, but not great either

My inbound flight was delayed so arrived to late to go to my planned hotel, decided to stay at Airport. Arrived at Terminal 2 which is very basic but had bench seats without arm rests, there were lots of people sleeping on them with no problems, vending machines available. Decided to go over to Terminal 1 on the 24 hr shuttle bus (free) This terminal is much more modern and there is loads of potential areas to sleep, however the seats have armrests. All is not lost however because if you go to McDonalds (area deserted after 11 pm) there is a kids climbing frame with large mattress on floor, enough room for a family to sleep ! I slept there without anybody bothering me, when I woke I had been joined by 4 young italians. Also there is a dining area that has padded bench seats, its supposed to be closed off but nobody seemed to bother as people slept on them. The noisy tvs playing a loop can be switched off (on-off button on back) just remember to turn them back on in the morning. Altogether a good nights sleep for nothing !
Um, you may want to rethink sleeping in this place

"Malpensa is a hostile environment to airport sleepers, there is marble floor throughout and every single chair has armrests. However we discovered that if we moved two sets of chairs together so we had the seats facing each other, we could create a space to lie down on the crack between the chairs and it was really comfy! Although they're really heavy and we had to drag them conspicuously and loudly across the floors, the cleaners and the security didn't bat an eyelid. "
