Kirkey seats are measured in inches at the hips (usually in 1/2" increments)

  thanks Steve!!   was hoping someone using them would of chimed in, but looks like I will have to take a guess on size and layback  its like a ghost town on here!

@minithekid, like you I wasnt sure what size seat to get, also what style. Once I'd tried a wrap around seat I decided it wasnt for me and then went down the route of the endurance seat and am very glad I did as I can happily spend hours in my car in complete comfort with bags of support. I tried a few seats for size when I was at the autosport show years back, maybe see if theres a supplier fairly local that would let you try a few. They normally go on hip width and as I aint as dainty as you I opted for the 19" but got a 17" for the passenger.

@minithekid, I went for wrap around layback, look great but not that practical in a mini when you are 6ft 3in! In saying that once in they are reasonably comfortable as mine is made to measure and you do feel secure, if I had the choice again I would choose different (I think that's age for you)
