Unlike seat pitch there is no consistent methodology for measuring seat width so the same exact seats can be reported differently by carriers if they choose different ways to measure (inside the arm rests, center line of armrests, etc.).
Seat widths and aisle widths vary from carrier to carrier.
9W has very wide 18.5" wide seats in economy and 32" seat pitch with a foot rest.
CO's 777 has adequately wide 17.9" seats in economy with 31" seat pitch, no foot rests, and a number of seats in each row have a box further restricting leg room under the seat in front.
Also, CO has what must be the most uncomfortable economy seat among any major airline in the world, thin, hard, unspportive.
