Clearly AV

When you go the cinema next, take a moment to think about where you like to sit and how comfortable the seating is. Personally, I’m a front and middle type of guy; close enough to see all the details of the picture but not so close that I strain my neck to comfortably view. So when it comes to home theater stuff, you should have no problem snagging the best seats in the house - its your house and you own the seats and you get to decide who seats where, right? Ideally you’ll want to set up for ‘movie night’ and plop down in a comfortable, soft, supple seat, something with a smooth exterior well positioned to watch the film or the big game — you get the idea!

Stylish Modern American Leather Recliners

When I think of American leather furniture it conjures up images of traditional sofa and recliner frames with a very mainstream look. High end manufacturer, American Leather, have made a modern and contemporary line of seats with an almost Italian look.

Ekornes Stressless Home Theater Seats

Hand made in Norway, the Ekornes Stressless line is hands down the best value in living room theater seating. The internal frame is the secret to the comfort and function. The articulating headrest moves forward as the recliner moves back allowing for a perfect viewing and reading position. In the same motion a lower lumber positions itself creating excellent back support. All this happens with a simple push back, no clunky levers, gadgets to pull or position.

Le Grande Recliner

Sitting in this recliner feels like sliding into the cockpit of a luxury sports car. The design of these luxurious home theater seats make them feel as if they’re hugging your body.

Imagine coming home from a long day at work and a stressful commute and seating down into the ultimate massaging chair to relax away all the stress from the day. Also, it positions itself perfectly for TV and movie watching. The Sanyo Zero Gravity Massage Chair has a massaging feature that you just can’t go past. It features 9 different massage settings including rolling, reflexology, kneading, calf massage, compression, and on and on. It also has 4 fully automatic programs that ’sense’ where your body is the most tense, and it concentrates the massage on those parts of your body. This is truly a cleverly crafted massage chair, using skin response technology (the same technology used by polygraph machines but for a different outcome). And for a cool $5,000 lets hope it works! Because for this kind of money you can either have the best massage of your life, or at least the best chair that you’ve ever owned!

Elite Custom Home Theater Seating

Elite also uses a revolutionary material called silk leather, which has the durability of leather, and it’s soft as silk.

La-Z-Boy Oasis Recliner

This is the ultimate recliner for sports fans out there. While La-Z-Boy has discontinued this chair (why?…I don’t know), it’s still available in the United Kingdom for the princely sum of £900. Aside from being one of the most comfortable recliners that you’ll ever sit in, the Oasis has a built-in cooler in the armrest that will fit up to a 6-pack of beer. In the other armrest, there’s a built-in telephone with caller ID. On top of those features, this chair has a built-in 10-motor massage and heating system to help relax away the tension of a close game. Watching your favorite sports team or movie in this chair is quite an experience. What more could you want in a chair?…You don’t have to get up to get a beer…You don’t have to get up to order a pizza…You can get a full-body massage…And you can take a nap when it’s all said and done.

The Transport Perceptual Pod

The most off-the-wall piece of living room furniture! As a matter of fact it’s not even a type of chair, it’s actually a bed. The Transport is its name and it was designed by Alberto Frias. Climb inside of this 6-foot (optional 8-foot) pod you’ll find 4-inch micros speakers along with a 240-watt subwoofer. The bed is actually a temperature-controlled waterbed, which adds to the whole perceptual theme of the Transport. The transport is meant to put users into sort of a trance-like state with the crystal clear sound, comfortable waterbed, and LED lighting, all working to send the senses into a state of bliss. It also functions equally as well for movie watching. However, the Transport pod won’t put your wallet in a state of bliss with prices starting at around $10,000.
