seat width
How wide you sit
Seat width is the measurement of how wide a seat is, typically from armrest to armrest or between the sides of the seating surface.
The term appears most often in contexts where space is at a premium—airline seating, car interiors, stadium chairs: Economy class seat width has shrunk over the decades.
Manufacturers and reviewers cite seat width as a key comfort factor.
