Typical home cinema seating features

Home cinema seating

No home cinema is complete without comfy seating that allows you to sit back, relax and enjoy your viewing experience. While sofas are great for multi-purpose media rooms, specialised home cinema seating is the best choice for an authentic feel. A wide range of options mean you can benefit from various functions that meet your needs, whether you want motorised reclining, a USB port for charging devices or D-Box motion. Here, we outline some of the typical features you’ll find in home cinema seats.

Motorisation

One of the most popular functions for home cinema seating is motorisation. There are several possibilities here: your seat can recline and the footrest can raise, putting you into a relaxed, laid-back position with the touch of a single button. Alternatively, you can choose to adjust the backrest and footrest individually. Some options have a separate headrest too, which can be adjusted independently.

If you choose seating that can integrate into your automation system, it can be programmed to move into your optimal position as the lights dim and the movie begins.

USB charging

It’s always useful to have a charge point nearby in case your device needs a top up. So what could be more convenient than a USB port built into your home cinema armchairs, ready for you to plug in whenever you need?

Cup holders

What would a cinema seat be without somewhere to pop your drink? Whether you’ve grabbed a beer from the mini fridge or a coffee from the kitchen, you can keep it to hand in the arm rest of your seat. You can even include feature lighting so it’s easy to see when the lights are out and the movie is in action.

Snack bar

Some brands offer the possibility of your own private snack bar in the arm rest of your seat. Fill the compartment with your favourite treats so you have plenty to keep you sustained during the movie or the sports game.

D-Box motion

D-Box motion seats are the pinnacle of home cinema seating, enhancing your experience with motors that cause the seats to vibrate, sway, roll and more. This happens in sync with the film’s action, transforming viewing into a multi-sensory experience.

Comfort and fabric

Your seating can be upholstered according to your preferences and in keeping with the design of your

home cinema room. You can choose from a wide range of fabrics in varying colours, so whether you want black leather or red crushed velvet, you can tailor the look and feel to your requirements.
