5 Things to Know Before You Buy Any Theater Seat

A few key decisions separate a room you will never want to leave from one you will always regret. Here is what actually matters.

Tip 1

Measure Your Room

A single row needs roughly 3" to 7" of wall clearance to recline, depending on the model. Tiered setups need more planning, so map your space before you fall for a layout.

Tip 2

Do Not Overlook Powered Headrests

Most of our seats include power recline, but the powered headrest is the feature people do not expect to love. Every adjustment runs from the built-in control panel, so there is no separate remote to lose.

Tip 3

Consider Heat and Massage

Seat heat and massage do more than feel good, they cut fatigue on a long night in. Power lumbar is a separate adjustable feature, and like everything else it is managed from the built-in control panel.

Tip 4

Pick the Right Material

Italian Leather is top-grain and our most popular, rich and built to last. Leather Gel gives a similar look at a more accessible price. Performance Fabric is durable and easy to clean, a favorite in homes with kids and pets.

Tip 5

Think About the Full Experience

The extras are what turn a seat into a theater. Lighted cup holders, USB charging, tray tables, and storage consoles are the details you notice every night once you have them.
