Experience Home Theater in Style

Home Theater seating takes a night at the movies and the comfort of home to allow you, your friends and family to get lost in the home theater experience (in style).  Make sure you purchase theater seating with your home in mind and consider size, fabric, visibility, sets and options to make it match seamlessly with your home theater.

Ultimate Comfort
Your movie theater furniture should ultimately be designed for comfort.  A high-quality leather home theater lounger is a very comfortable option. A home theater sofa or sectional would be a more comfortable option if you are trying to get cozy with a significant other. Or perhaps you have children who would be more comfortable in a home theater lounger built to their size. The point is that comfort may not be the same for everyone to enjoy the movie.

A common mistake of home theater enthusiasts is to invest in the best audio and visual equipment but purchase home movie theater chairs that make the experience feel like a trip to the dentist. Don’t make the same mistake. Make sure your movie theater chairs have thick armrests and invest in seating that offers footrests and other comfortable options. Your movie theater seat should provide comfort from head to toe. Look for movie theater chairs with stability and flexibility in the seat and back with high density foam cushions for maximum support.

Theater Seating Options

Several options are available for theater seating to help you enjoy your home theater experience:
• Storage Compartments: Hold remotes and other loose items.
• CupHolders: Included in the arm of the chair for an authentic movie experience
• Motorized Recliners: Fully recline in maximum comfort with minimal effort
• Leather Seats: Relax in luxurious leather seats to truly have “The best seats in the house”
• MatchingSets: Look for sets of multiple seats to easily create matching décor, some collections come with matching ottoman and storage cabinets to bring your home theater to life!
• TactileTransducers: Tactile Transducers mounted under your theater seats give your home theater that subtle, but dramatic "ground shaking" effect.
• Ottoman: Kick up your feet on a matching home theater ottoman

Making Room For Everyone The main thing is to determine the room's space requirements. It is the number of seats you will want to put together, in conjunction with the size of your big screen TV, that will eventually determine the space required to house your home theater room setup.  Ensure that all parts of the screen are easily visible by all viewers.  If your seating consists of multiple rows of seats, the use of risers may be essential for better viewing. Allow for at least two feet per seat and keep in mind how far the seat reclines, and if a foot rest comes out in front, leave enough room for it to fully extend, but make sure others can still get by.

The positioning of your home movie theater furniture can be the single most important aspect of your home theater. There is an entire art of strategically designing the layout of your movie theater furniture so that all of your viewers have a superior theater experience. Experts constantly discuss where to place your home theater speakers but few have offered advice on how to position your home movie theater furniture. All too often, individuals arrange home theater sofas and home theater loungers on the back wall of their home theater or in the dead middle of the room, which are the two worst positions available as bass frequencies tend to build up at the walls and disappear in the middle.  You will want to make sure that the screen is positioned at a distance where the screen fills the viewer's field of vision within 30 degrees side to side, and 15 degrees up and down for the most comfortable and natural viewing experience. Follow the chart below for the recommended distances between the screen and theater chair positioning.
