From the sounds of it, the space between A350 seats is narrower than A380?
You are not imagining things. The 77W cabin is substantially larger than the A380 upper deck, so the 2006 J seats had to be modified and narrowed to fit into to the A380 cabin.
Similar thing has happened with the A350, which is a much smaller/narrower cabin than the 77W. The 2013 J seats have had to be modified to be shoehorned into the cabin.
