CINEMA SEATING FOR HOME CINEMAS

CINEMA ROOM – A FRONT ROW EXPERIENCE IN YOUR OWN HOME

If you are setting up your own home cinema room you will no doubt have done some research on sound systems, screens, picture quality etc. but don’t underestimate the importance of your home cinema sofas for maximum comfort and movie-watching experience. Explore the various seating choices available to enhance your front-row cinema experience.

HOME THEATRE SEATING – WHERE TO START
AVAILABLE SPACE

Start by looking at the size of the space that you are looking to transform into your home theatre and how many people you are looking to accommodate. Your home cinema seating needs to allow everyone in the room to have an unobstructed view of the screen while being comfortable enough to sit through a two-hour movie. Before finalising your choices, map out the arrangement of your furniture.

HOW MUCH SPACE PER PERSON?

The recommended viewing distance from the screen is 2.5-3 times the diagonal size of the screen. For a 55” TV or monitor, the recommended viewing distance is approximately 6 to 7.5 feet (183 to 229 cm). This gives you a rough idea of what room you need to allow per person and what home cinema furniture you can get fit in. This will help you to decide on the number of home cinema seats required, as well as how close together they can be placed.

That might narrow down the number of choices available to you as some of the more luxury seating such as recliner chairs can take up quite a lot of space. A standard reclining seat measures 80 cm by 60 cm, expanding to 100 cm when reclined. Ensure you leave enough space around it for easy access and comfort.

OPTIONS FOR HOME CINEMA ROOM SEATING

Selecting the right style for your home cinema seating involves balancing the available space with the number of people you need to accommodate. Prices and quality vary wildly too, with a new range or feature often appearing on the market. Make sure to explore different options before making your final choice.

INDIVIDUAL RECLINER SEATS

As the name suggests, these are designed for one person with full back and leg support, often with the added bonus of being able to recline at various angles. Some models even have built-in massage and heat functions.

DOUBLE CINEMA SEATS

A double cinema seat, or loveseat, is a great option if you don’t have a lot of space as they take up less room than two individual home cinema chairs. They are also great for cuddling up with family and loved ones whilst watching your favourite movies.

CINEMA SOFAS

If you need to accommodate more than two people, home cinema sofas are an excellent option. They come in a variety of sizes as they come in a variety of sizes.

HOME CINEMA SEATING VS OFFICE CHAIRS?

Some customers wonder if office chairs can be used in a home cinema due to their lower cost compared to specialised home cinema seating. While you could technically do this, we wouldn’t recommend it as office chairs are not designed for comfort during long periods of sitting and don’t offer the same level of support.

Once you have decided on the style of chair, it’s time to think about fabric choices. The most important thing to consider is how easy the fabric will be to clean as let’s face it, popcorn and drink spills are inevitable when watching movies!

FABRICS

There are an endless number of options for fabric and colour choices on cinema seats to create the style and comfort for your viewing experience. You want something that will give the right level of comfort and style for your home cinema chairs but is hard-wearing and easy to clean.

Velvet is favoured for its luxurious appearance and texture, but it can be challenging to clean, which might make it less ideal for some settings.

Many fabrics can be treated to resist stains, so if you have a specific fabric in mind, consult with your supplier about its suitability.

FAUX LEATHER

Faux leather is a great alternative to the real thing as it looks and feels very similar but is much more affordable. It is also easier to care for as it doesn’t require the same level of maintenance as leather.

LEATHER

If you want to create the ultimate home cinema then leather might be the way to go. It offers a luxurious look and feel, is simple to clean, and remains comfortable even during extended sitting. Leather also has the advantage that it will age better than other materials.
