The ‘perfect’ home theater system is yours now. The sound is great, the screen has a fantastic resolution and the DVD projector is state of the art. So what could be missing to get you the ultimate experience? Custom theater seating is one area that’s crucial and is also one that most people tend to overlook.
By the word ‘custom’, I mean two things. One, the seating is designed to compliment the look and feel of your room. Secondly, and more importantly, they do play an important role in acoustics. For example, heavily cushioned sofas can absorb a lot of the harsh sounds, and impart a soft touch to the tones, while furniture with hard, protruding corners may reflect the sound to create a ricocheting effect.
Instead of traditional furniture, a good idea is to experiment with some authentic home movie theater seating. You’ll be able to find a good selection to fit your room size and your budget. Also, if possible, avoid the sofa or the loveseat–they are not likely to set your body in the best possible viewing position. Rockers are popular, while being cost-effective as well. Leather sectionals, with options for drink holders, eating trays and massaging back supports are fast taking the place of the most sought-after home movie theater seating options.
