Are the Seats in the Boeing 787 narrower than in the 737 in KLM Airlines?

Two days ago I flew with KLM from Calgary to Germany, first with the "Dreamliner" 787 and then with the 737 in economy class. I had the impression (due to my impaired space during eating on the 787) that the seats in the 787 are narrower than in the 737.

Is this true or just my imagination? With the distance between the seat rows I am not so sure. Maybe reduced too?

Best Answer

According to SeatGuru, KLM's only 787 configuration has seats with 31" pitch and 17.5" width. On the other hand, all 737 configurations have 30" pitch and 17" width.

So the answer is: no, the 787 seats are not narrower. The difference might have been purely psychological as the 737 flight was a short hop, while the 787 was a cross-continental trip.
