Home Theater Seating Buying Tips
How to Choose Your Fabric and Color and Style
There are several factors to think about when you’re choosing your home theater seating. You’ve already considered your budget, and Home Theater Seating Online has seats ranging from
economical choices to premium seating. But what about style? Here are some tips for picking perfect seats.
Seating Style
If you’re going for a home theater that really feels like the cinema, check out our authentic cinema seating.
There are so many color and style choices that they are a great place to get design inspiration.
Our multi-seat arrangements also evoke the authentic theater experience, but they have the plush comfort of a recliner or couch.
Many of the styles are versatile and would fit beautifully in a shared-purpose room. As a guideline, although not universally true, seats with a
lower seat height will look more like cinema seats, while higher backs
will seem more like living room recliners.
The same rule applies with our individual seats, which are a great option for rooms that are going to serve many functions. You’ll be able to
arrange the seats differently for movie watching, entertaining, looking out the window, enjoying a fire in the fireplace, or whatever other function you can think of. Many come with the
features you want in home theater seating, like cup holders, storage,
motorized recliners, and top grain leather.
Of course, home theaters are for more than just watching movies. You’ll feel like you’re courtside when you’re watching the game from one of our college logo chairs. If you’re a sports
fanatic or a dedicated alum, consider showing your pride while lounging in these recliners.
Material Choices
You’ll have your pick of fabrics for your chairs. For more economical choices, opt for microfiber, leathermatch, bicast leather, or vinyl. Microfiber is a popular option because of
its distinctive softness, but it’s also incredibly durable and will last for years. The premium choice, of course, is top grain leather. We offer several brands that use the finest
leather, taken from the top hide. It’s the softest and most durable leather, so a piece using top-grain can be a real investment with a high return.

Seating Arrangement
When you set your chairs up, remember that their placement will directly impact your viewing experience. If you’re planning on having a couple rows of chairs, remember that the people in that back want to see the whole screen, too. You could choose complementing low back chairs for the front and high back chairs for the back row. Risers are also a great option because every row of seats will have a perfect view. Make sure you know what you’re doing before you start building, though, and you might want to consult a contractor. If you’re going for one long row, arrange them in a semi-circle with the midpoint of the chairs lining up with the midpoint of the screen, as in the image below. This arrangement will give those sitting on the end an ideal viewing angle because they won’t have to turn their heads or strain their necks to see.
