Spending more time changing positions or fidgeting in your seat??? Time then for new home theater seating furniture. You can have the best surround sound, and an excellent screen, but to really enjoy yourself, you must be comfortable. "Of course, to do it right, you're going to need the right equipment, and that's where the choice of a great chair can make all the difference".

Seating Features:

There are literally hundreds of home theater seating options to choose from, including loungers; recliners; sofas; bucket chairs; single seats; curved loveseats; high or low back chairs; straight or curved rows of two or more …and kid chairs for the juniors too. Other options include tight back or tufted back, tight seat, tight base, rolled arm or straight-arm chairs. Built-in conveniences like cup holders and trays add that extra dose of luxury.

Pick from a range of upholstery, leather or faux leather. Frames are available in plastics, laminates or wood. You will typically end up spending a lot of time in your home theater chairs, so pay special attention to ergonomic design. Some companies have interactive websites that let you build your own theater chair!!

Seating Placement:

If you have more than one row of seating furniture, about 40" - 42" distance between rows is recommended. Two things will impact the placement of your seating. First is your screen size. Designers suggest placing front seats at a distance of one and half to two times the diagonal screen dimension.
Second is the placement of your back row relative to a rear wall. It is advisable to set your back row a few feet from the rear wall, so that you can soak up your surround sound. This provides for an aisle behind your back row and allows the full range of rocking motion for rockers.

It is ultimately a question of individual preference and its best to decide the placement based on your specific requirements.

Buying Options:

Home theater seating is available online for all types of home theater enthusiasts and not just the rich and famous. Berkline Home Theater Seating, Preferred Seating, Booth Seating, Elite Home Theater Seating are some of the major brands. The price of seating varies with the brand and the product features. Check for individual warranties on frames, springs, reclining mechanism and cushions as these may vary.

So take your pick and enjoy a cozy home theater viewing experience in the lap of luxury.
