Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Looking for HT seating for narrow room

Boy Nick, that's a tough one.

I was kind of in the same situation as my theater is only 16 ft wide. I started out with one row of four seats (plus armrests), but the unit almost came out to the walls. It was much better going to 2 rows of three. Even rows of three will hit 112" of so with nice wide seats and armrests. Keep in mind that an average 1st class seat in a plane is only about 21" wide (without arm-rests), so that would be 84" without the armrests. If you went with a loveseat in the middle, you would still need 4 arm-rests, and even at only 6" wide, you are hitting 108"... With 4 seats you hit the magic 114" number. Although it may meet your dimensions, I think you would want a wider seat to be fully comfortable and enjoy your room.

I suggest considering a row of three, with nice wide seats and and nice wide arm-rests. I have two rows of three, curved, and they fit great in the room and are nice and wide and comfortable.
