What to Look For in Home Theater Seating

Comfort

Above all, comfort should be the key factor when buying home theater seating. While it comes down to personal preference, look for chairs with soft leather, extra padding, pillow-top headrests, and sloped armrests for a premium viewing experience.

Price

Some luxury recliners can cost upwards of $2,000, but you don’t necessarily need to splurge in the name of comfort. You can buy a budget seating option for as little as $150 while making surprisingly few sacrifices. The reclining mechanisms may be less sophisticated and the leather may feel cheaper, but those might not be noticeable once the lights go down and the opening credits start to roll.

Storage

It’s not a movie without the snacks, right? Most home theater seating options feature cupholders at the very least, but the premium options have other useful features like swivel trays for snacks, storage for remotes and cords, and even USB ports for charging up your devices. The storage console can also be handy place for cables, remotes, game controllers, and other accessories.
