Most of the space required for the extra seat is taken from the aisles or other peoples' seats. You're share will reduce by maybe 1 inch which unless you're a really snug fit you won't even notice.
I've flown on the 787 and it is absolute misery. Not to say I won't again if the price is cheap enough. A reduction of 1.5 inches in width from the norm is quite a lot.
