Is it really true that Comfort+ seats are no wider than economy seats? Are they even spaced further apart? For me it's not the width of the seat so much as it is the shoulder room, so the same width seat might work but if there's no more space between the seats I just don't think it'll be worth it for me.

Looking at flights in May from RDU to Seattle and trying to figure out if I'd have to go all the way up to First class to get some extra room. The leg room and recline is nice, but the cramped shoulders are what really bother me.

Trying to plan some trips before I get too pregnant to fly but would really like to not cram myself into a crappy seat on a plane for 5-7 hours if at all possible...
Generally, Comfort+ seats do not have more width than economy seats. Unless the middle seat is empty, you wouldn't have more lateral shoulder space. Spacing C+ seats farther apart on narrowbodies isn't much of an option due to the already narrow aisle.

However, if you are on the A319 (as opposed to a 737), you will have slightly more seat width anyway.
