You can add to your home’s comfort, and perhaps even its value, if you equip your home theater with comfortable, sturdy home theater seats that will make the room more attractive and will enhance the entertainment experience of everyone who spends time there. There’s nothing like having a comfortable seat that allows you to kick back and enjoy a video or television program at home.
Home theaters offer convenience and privacy. You can watch whatever you want, and depending on the quality of your playback and sound equipment, you’ll experience the video pretty much the same as you would if you were seeing a movie in a commercial theater. The difference is, though, that you can stop the action whenever you need a break, and you won’t have to pay the high snack bar prices for a soda and box of popcorn. If you’re a movie fanatic, then owning this kind of a home setup is the ultimate item on your wish list, no doubt.
Home theater chairs come in many varieties, including reclining and non-reclining, and can be upholstered in many different materials, from velvet to leather, although you might want to choose a serviceable fabric that is easy to clean if anyone spills orange soda on it.
Buy seating for your private viewing room that you find comfortable enough to sit in for several hours at a time without becoming fatigued. You might find that the recliner that looked so cushy is really murder on your back. Think about ergonomics and ask a sales person how the seats you’re considering are designed to support your spine. That will go a long way toward ensuring that you’ve purchased a seating solution you can live with for years to come.
Once you’ve made your choice, consider there you’re going to place your seating. You want to position yourself to enable the optimal viewing position for all audience members, and that is achieved by positioning of both the chair and the screen. Elevate the screen high enough to allow everyone to have a clear view of the media, but not so high that everyone has a stiff neck after watching for two hours.
In addition, pay attention to how your seating arrangement affect the sound quality you’ll get in your viewing room. Bear in mind that chairs are sound absorbers, and the position in which you place them can have a direct effect on whether or not people who are a good distance from the speakers are able to hear details on the audio track.
With a little experimentation you should be able to find the optimal position for your viewing room seating that offers the best possible sound as well as unobstructed viewing.
