ANJ Breathable PU Leather Recliner Chair

Comfortable, breathable, and not bad-looking

The perfect home theater sets that comes with not one but two cup holders.

Pros:

  • Very comfortable
  • Breathable material
  • Two cup holders

Cons:

  • Might not suit very tall people

The ANJ Breathable PU Leather Recliner Chair will suit all but the tallest people thanks to its generous proportions. This chair is our ultimate pick for comfort – you'll want to lounge around in it for hours. The other thing that sets it apart from the rest is the breathable fabric used to upholster it – it's leather-effect but it won't feel hot and sweaty to sit in it like with so many other leather imitation materials. The two cup holders are a huge bonus – you don't have to get up to get another drink.

Homall Gaming Recliner

Bigger and softer than competitors

This chair is perfect for long-term gaming – or for watching your favorite movies.

Pros:

  • Generous sizing
  • High-quality materials
  • Massages your lower back

Cons:

  • Not suitable for homes with pets

Another great chair at a fantastic price, the Homall gaming chair can easily double up as a theater chair.  The reclining is extremely comfortable and it has excellent lumbar support for those four-hour extended editions! It will even massage your lower back for you, so you won't feel stiff even after hours of sitting in it. One thing we'll say is that while the PU material is very nice and pleasant to the touch, if a pet scratches it, it will be ruined.

Furniwell Recliner Chair Massager

Massage and a movie

This chair will fit even in a small space thanks to its single-sized design.

Pros:

  • Ergonomic design
  • Not too big
  • Easy to put together

Cons

  • Massage function could be better

Are you one of those people who wants to watch movies in total comfort? Perhaps you want to fall asleep slowly while being soothed by the sound of your favorite movie? The Furniwell recliner is so comfortable that you'll never want to get out of it, and that's quite a feat considering that it's smaller than most comparable theater seats. You can even use it in your home office – it won't look out of place. We're not that keen on the massage function, though – it's all in one place and is a bit underwhelming, but better than nothing. 

Best for families

Because it's more fun to share the experience of movies with others!

Pros:

  • Multiple seats for couples and families
  • High quality construction and finish

Cons:

  • Need a lot of room to fit them in

If you and your significant other like to curl up and watch a movie while still maintaining a high-end theater experience then this loveseat from Valencia is probably the right seat for you. To warn you this is not cheap, but it also not cheaply made. Everything about it is exquisite and the look and feel of it make it worth every cent.
