Okay, I am curious. I keep hearing about home theater seating, but I’ve never actually seen anything in friends’ living rooms and such that isn’t just “regular” furniture. I mean, I know lots of people who have large-screen televisions, surround sound systems, etc. I even know someone who has a “theater” setting set up on his lights, which are hooked up to a remote control. But I don’t know anyone with out-of-the-ordinary furniture.

My husband builds home theaters and does work with those who already have them set up. I haven’t seen any of these in person (by photo only) but he sees a variety of them.
He shared this brief tidbit on the subject 🙂
[We have one couch and some pallets on the floor when the couch doesn’t seat everyone! Smiles.]
We have worked with several clients who have or want “theater seating”. Many dedicated theater rooms with multiple rows of seats use this type of furniture.
Theater seats start as low as several hundred dollars and go as high as several thousand dollars each depending upon fabric, leather and options. Most recline and are very comfortable. Their modular construction allows for many variations and adaptability to almost any space. This allows for more individual seating in a smaller space. Other improvements over “regular furniture” are wedge shaped armrest sections which allow for curved seating rows, fold up armrests for couch conversions, pockets for game controllers or remotes. We have even built bass shakers into them. This is a cool option that causes the seat to vibrate slightly with low frequency sounds.
Theater seating is a cool option but it is not for every project or family. It is really up to the individual, their needs desires, and the overall project.
