When building your home theater, you may pay a lot of attention to the decor, painting the walls black and installing remote-control dimmers. Next you install the big wide flat screen and hang the projector along with the blue-ray player and other Audio video components. You hook-up the 7.1 surround sound system. The popcorn maker and the freezer is not too far away, as you think of the big-game, or upcoming movie night, but you may have neglected what may be the centerpiece of the room. Your home theater seating is maybe the most important part of the experience.
In addition to being the showpiece, the seating must be functional as well as cozy, because the enjoyment comes from not only what is played on the screen, but how also from where and how the audience sits to enjoy the experience. If you have been to cinema lately, you can appreciate why movie theaters are now filled with bigger and more comfortable chairs. When choosing home theater seating, the important factors may very well be the appearance and conveniences provided by the seating, as well the comfort factor, and of course the cost. Maybe the most important element as far as the seating is concerned will be the comfort. Comfort is not one of the factors that is considered to be subjective. Although there is no empirical definition or measurement for comfort, some degree of universal acceptance can be expected. Seats should not be too soft or too firm, and the tactile response determined from the fabric should be favorably positive. The seats are accessible in various sizes, shapes, and different levels of comfort. When choosing, your home theater seating, you must take into account how the seating can be arranged in your space.
Bigger seats may appear to be more aesthetically pleasing, but they not be right your room. You may be better off selecting seats that take up less room, but are still comfort you and your friends may be spending hours in them. The only way to test the comfort level, is by spending some time in the seats. You may or may not read a headrest, and you may also appreciate the ability to move the seat into different reclining positions, as the body is not meant for remaining in one position for too long. You may have a preference for manual or automatic controls, and may be happier with more positions. The color and composition of the fabric is very important.
Leather may be easier to clean, and will usually last longer than other materials, however the colors available in leather is limited, and you need colors that do not clash with your décor. The colors can influence other factors of the enjoyment as they affect different areas of our perception. There are many accessories that can be included with your seats, such as cup holders, and trays. You may include ports for individual headsets and disc players. The problem with seating, is that it is not an easily returnable item, so you should do as much research as possible, before having home theater seating installed.
