Home Theater Seating - Complete Your Entertainment Space
You've invested in a great TV and professional mounting - now complete the experience with proper seating. Home theater seating ranges from dedicated cinema-style chairs with cupholders and power recline to comfortable sectionals optimized for viewing. The right seating affects viewing angles, comfort during long movies, and the overall aesthetic of your media room. We help clients plan seating placement during TV mounting projects because screen height, viewing distance, and seating all work together. A perfectly mounted TV means nothing if you're craning your neck from a poorly positioned couch.
🎬 Dedicated Theater Recliners
Purpose-built home theater recliners deliver the cinema experience at home. Features include power recline, LED lighting, storage consoles, USB charging, and cupholders. Many are designed for row configurations with shared armrests. These chairs are built for long viewing sessions with supportive cushioning and adjustable headrests. Premium options include massage, heating, and memory settings. If you're building a dedicated theater room, these provide the authentic experience.

🛋️ Sectionals & Sofas for Media Rooms
Not everyone wants a formal theater setup - sectionals and media-optimized sofas provide comfortable viewing for families and social watching. Look for sectionals with reclining ends, powered headrests, and USB charging. Deep seats allow for lounging during movies. The right sectional configuration depends on your room layout and how many people typically watch together. L-shaped and U-shaped configurations provide multiple good viewing angles.

📐 Seating Distance & TV Size Guide
Proper viewing distance depends on TV size and resolution. Too close causes eye strain and visible pixels; too far loses immersion. Here's the relationship between screen size and optimal seating distance:
Recommended Viewing Distance:
| TV Size | Minimum Distance | Maximum Distance | Ideal Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 55" | 4.5 feet | 11.5 feet | 7-9 feet |
| 65" | 5.5 feet | 13.5 feet | 8-10 feet |
| 75" | 6.5 feet | 15.5 feet | 9-12 feet |
| 85" | 7 feet | 18 feet | 10-14 feet |
Seating Height Considerations:
- TV center should be at seated eye level (42-48" from floor)
- Above-fireplace mounts may require tilted screens
- Recliners change eye level when reclined - account for this
Room Layout Tips:
- Primary seating directly centered on screen
- Secondary seating within 30° angle from center
- Avoid seating positions with window glare on screen
