When it comes to setting up a personal screening room in one's home, most people spend most of their time tracking down the best audio and visual systems they can afford, but overlook the equally important aspect of the seating. The arrangement, style, and features of theatre seating one selects also contributes considerably to the overall experience for the viewer. Consumers should follow these helpful tips in order to make the best choice in seats.
In order to determine the number and size of seats which can comfortably fit inside the home theatre, it is necessary to carefully measure the space and make note of its shape, including any irregularities. The dimensions of all doorways and halls leading to the room must be measured as well, so one can ensure that the new seating will fit through. There should be adequate space to walk around, with about 18-24 inches between seats.
There has to be a suitable distance and angle between the seats and the screen as well. This is primarily determined by the size of the screen and there is a formula commonly used to calculate these distances. It is generally safer to select the seating first, in particular if the room is smaller, and then choose the ideal screen size accordingly.
Most manufacturers offer both pre-made and made-to-order seat designs with a choice of power or manual adjustment for home theatres. Although leather is the most popular material, seats made from microfiber, leather-match, or vinyl are also available. The addition of a bass shaker system to seats provides a realistic tactile sensation to accompany the on-screen action and sound.
Seating with a full recline lets the viewer stretch their legs out fully for ultimate comfort, while a simple recline style still allows a standard recline of 5 inches. Offering both space-saving practicality and still very comfortable are the "wallhugger" seat designs. Seats with durable hardwood frames, and plush padding for maximum sound absorption are also the best choice.
Not only the does the size of the room determine how many seats it can accommodate, but it also dictates the size of each seat, and how they can be arranged. If there is enough space, it may be possible for viewers to sit side-by-side, otherwise it will be necessary to establish rows. If more rows may be added in the future, leaving 20 inches of space on the sides of every row is advisable.
A platform or riser can be utilized to improve the viewing experience for those seated in the second row of seats if there is one. Arranging the back row seats in a pattern which alternates with the ones in the front row is another solution. If there is only a single row of seats, a curved arrangement is the best choice, as it provides each person with an optimal view.
There is a large and varied selection of seating styles, colors, and finishes to suit the personal decor tastes of any consumer. It's also possible to include some fun, useful features such as cup holders, snack trays, and storage compartments. Buyers should ensure that they receive a manufacturer's warranty at the time of purchase.
