I think this would only be comfortable and lay nicely if the bestagons are slightly curved, and I wonder if a topologist might answer how that would affect the tiling.
A curve on one axis seems manageable, but unless you’re making pauldrons, you’re going to have octagons that bend in two directions at the shoulder. Making those tile correctly seems as if it might be challenging.
Hexagons are the bestagons.
