10 Best Home Theater Seating Options

If you’re in the process of creating an epic home theater, having the best seating is a must. 

Maybe you’ll opt for stylish comfort and a quiet, manual recline for a posh feel while still getting the full home theater vibe.

Or maybe you’ll choose an option with extra features like cup holders, tray tables, charging ports for your devices and even wine glass holders for a luxury viewing experience. 

No matter what you buy, pick an option that offers flexibility for your room setup, looks stylish in your space and has the features you want for your home theater. 

With many products to choose from, we’ve carefully curated a list of the best home theater seating options on the market.

Top Home Theater Seating

Whether you’re looking for individual home theater seats, a theater-style arrangement, sofas or recliners, we have you covered. Here are our picks for the five best home theater seating setups. 

1. Seatcraft Omega Home Theater Seating

Best Overall

If you want something built for comfort and packed with extras, this is your sofa. The price point is reasonable while still providing a luxurious look and feel along with durable quality.

Leather gel gives the look and feel of Italian top-grain leather while being extra durable, which is a bonus for something that will likely get a lot of use. 

It comes with power recline and powered headrests that allow you to adjust your comfort automatically with buttons built into the inside of the seat. 

The powered headrest pushes out from the couch, so you can comfortably see the screen when you are reclined. It also has a “home” button that simultaneously powers the recliner and headrest to their original positions.

There’s a fold-down table with an outlet, two USB charging ports and one wireless charging option for your devices in the middle seat.

It also has overhead lights with individual on and off buttons that swivel toward or away from you. This feature is perfect if someone wants to read while the other watches the screen. 

The middle section folds back into a seat as well, making room for a third person. However, there is no recline for the middle seat, so you may have to share your footrest if you invite a third. 

Hidden armrest storage and side pockets give you places to store remotes, gear, gaming controllers, reading material or anything else you might need. 

Light-up cup holders allow you to easily see where your drink goes in the dark, and fold-out trays give each end its own snack table. 

It’s important to note that when the trays are in use, they block the cup holder. It’s a small design flaw that’s easily rectified by the sheer number of options you have with this piece.

This seating system has six plugs, so make sure you can put it near a place that has an outlet with power adapters. 

Ultimately, it’s one of the best options for smaller home theaters, living rooms, man caves or she-sheds, but not a great option for your movie watching if you need more than one unit in a bigger home theater. 

2. Pulaski Larson Theatre Recliner

When you’re looking for the best home theater seating for one, the Pulaski Larson Theatre Recliner is a great choice. 

The faux leather material is breathable, soft and easy to clean. Keep in mind that with faux leather and materials, you need to watch for eventual peeling that you wouldn’t need to monitor with Italian top-grain leather.

We found this option to be comfortable, offering sink-into-it comfort as opposed to sturdy back support. 

There is one outlet and two USB charging points hidden in the arm storage for easy charging of your phone, tablet or laptop. This means no more long cords and reaching for outlets. 

These features also make it a good option as a work-from-home chair. It’s hard not to love a multi-tasking piece of furniture.

You can power recline from regular chair seating all the way down to flat for naps. The lack of lumbar support wasn’t a big deal when it was flat, but it was noticeable in the upright position.

It has a swivel tray that can attach to either arm, which is convenient for left-handed folks. A tablet, small laptop or any manner of snacks will fit on it. 

While this could definitely be built sturdier, it’s still a great addition to the seat.

3. Flash Furniture Reel Comfort 2-Seat

Best Seating With No Plugs

If you’re looking for a stylish “unplugged” home theater option, this is it. The Flash Furniture Reel Comfort 2-Seat has a contemporary style with cross-stitching.

While it doesn’t offer Italian top-grain leather, the LeatherSoft material is soft and durable. 

It comes with plastic floor glides that protect your flooring by sliding smoothly when you need to move it. The recessed levers also contribute to its overall stylishness and allow it to fit in any space.

With center cup holders and a storage console for remotes, gaming controllers and reading material, there’s no shortage of places to set yourself up for the big game or a movie marathon.

Better yet, the plush arms and back have generous amounts of foam padding, offering firm support for long sitting sessions.

It ships in three boxes, so there is some assembly required. Fortunately, it’s mostly hooks and clips, so the assembly is quite simple. 

While this seat will work in any home, we think it’s a great option for stylish homes and cottages. 

4. Pawnova PU Leather Chair

The Pawnova PU Leather Chair is an affordable home theater seating option. Even though it doesn’t offer Italian top-grain leather, It has sturdy faux leather fabric with soft, comfortable foam inside and a sturdy frame. 

The metal base will swivel 360 degrees, meaning you’ll never have to move or angle the recliner. With an over-padded back, seat and headrest, you’ll find it to be a cushy spot to enjoy your favorite movie. 

There are two cup holders, allowing you to use one for a drink and one for your phone since this chair does not have any charging options. It also has a side storage pocket for remotes or reading materials.

The Pawnova comes with some fun features. It has eight different vibration points with a remote to adjust the intensity. 

Additionally, it has a lumbar heating function, making this a great chair for those with back problems or anyone who enjoys unwinding after a long day.

You can semi-recline or lie flat. While it does take some assembly, it comes with all tools required and sets up quickly. 

5. Octane Bolt XS400

The Octane Seating Octane Bolt XS400 is a fantastic pick for home theater seating. You can purchase individual home theater seats that pair together or buy as many seats as you need to achieve the home theater of your dreams. 

These home theater seats do not connect, but their weight keeps them together. The wall-saver mechanism allows you to place it within 4 inches of a wall, which means this Octane seating is perfect for literally any space.

While it’s not made with top-grain leather, it is made with bonded leather that is thick and extremely durable makes this option kid and pet-friendly. However, it really shines when it comes to quality. 

These home theater seats have premium lumbar and head support. Octane seating is constructed using premium high-density foam, and the individual pocketed coils are surrounded by it for long-lasting comfort. 

There is gel-infused memory foam for extreme comfort. Additionally, its ergonomic design places support in all the right places, while quality materials will keep you comfortable for years to come.

The plush SmartSuede Microfiber with diamond tufting and classic nailhead trim from Octane seating looks timeless, and you’ll feel like royalty with arched top seats, tufting on the footrest, and wooden block feet.

Customize with trays, a wine glass holder, popcorn bowls, cigar holders, tablet holders, and more.

Never trip in your home theater with LED blue ambient base lighting on the baserails. We especially loved the same blue LED on the cupholders, no more fumbling around in the dark to make your drink fit into the hole. 

Octane seating has a Wallaway design, which means this home theater seating can fit in even the smallest of rooms, as it only requires the seat to be 4 inches from the wall to recline. This is a great home theater seating option if you want a full service plush home theater experience.
