Whether you have a projector or a TV screen, make any film feel like the latest blockbuster by adding some sumptuous seating.


Movie night essentials


Before you get settled down to watch your favourite film or the newest series, make sure you’ve got all the essentials to make your movie night feel like the real deal! You’ll need:

  • A bowl of popcorn (sweet or salty – whichever takes your fancy)
  • Blankets and throws to cuddle up with 
  • Refreshing drinks for everyone  
  • A selection of your favourite snacks  
  • Comfy clothes to relax in 
  • A big screen or projector 
  • Low lighting to create a cinema room atmosphere
  • A comfortable sofa or chair 
  • Cosy slippers
  • A box of tissues handy in case it’s a tear-jerker!

How to choose a sofa for your home cinema


Another hour of the film to go? Cinema room furniture needs to feel both comfortable and supportive for the long haul.


Look for high backed armchairs and spacious 4-seater sofas, or even a snuggly sofa bed designed for sharing (or for extra lounging).


Your home theatre room design can change the complete feel of the space. Layer up armchairs in a row for a classic theatre look or dot around a mixture of sofas and chairs to create your own unique space for entertaining guests. 

My top picks: Home cinema sofas

When it comes to re-creating that cinema feeling at home, we certainly have a few suitable sofas and chairs ready for some big-screen viewing.


Will you choose a spacious cinema corner sofa, a relaxing cinema sofa recliner, or perhaps a classic 3 seater cinema sofa?


With seating to suit all spaces, here are some of my top cinema couch contenders:

1. Griffin 3 Seater Power Recliner with Head Tilt

The Griffin 3 seater power recliner is the ultimate seating for your home cinema.


Made from 100% genuine leather, the Griffin boasts high-backed designs, foam filled seats as standard and comes complete with head tilt functionality so you can enjoy your movies in optimum comfort.


Combining high quality, style and functionality, you won’t want to watch your films anywhere else!
