You could be on the 320 and have 18" wide seat with pitch of 30 inches. You could also be on the 737 and have 17" wide seat with pitch of 34 inches.
You can measure it any way your little heart wants to. The overall "comfort" level in the coach cabin of a 737 is below that of most Airbus aircraft coach cabins in the view of many surveyed passengers and most pilots who get stuck "in the back".
BTW, I'm well aware of what the "width" of a seat is and what the "pitch" is. I should have been more specific in my response to FAULTPUSH.
G'Luck to you Mate
