The 18.5 inch measurement is indeed the seat cushion. The reason you may have found it to be less wide in your experience is because the arm rest is rigid and solid whereas in economy there is a gap under the armrest and can be moved. The gap under the armrest in the economy seat may have given you some extra room.

I suppose it could also be that because you'd paid extra you were expecting substantially more room when in reality most of the extra room is in the seat pitch rather than the seat width.

Thanks for your response. You are absolutely correct on both points! I do think BA need to make it clearer that the seat is only 1" wider and the arm rests are fixed to avoid very expensive misunderstandings. I will write to them but I'm not holding my breath for a wonderful response!
