Seating is something I'll be looking at next year, as (hopefully) I'll start looking at redoing the basement and putting my home theater there. I probably will opt for connected seating, and another row on a riser behind, as I've always been dissatisfied with how few people I can have over to watch a movie. Some of the online vendors look promising, but yeah, I'd have a lot more confidence in something I could check out locally. I don't really want anything TOO involved, however, as it really jacks up the price, and I'd rather have more money for the renovations. I think I'm going to be very conflicted about it. Ideally, I'd just make more money. I wish you luck with whatever your decision turns out to be. Hopefully some more people will chime in with what they're using.

I've only sat in them briefly, and I don't really know if they are "affordable", but they look good and flexible (I like some of their multi-seat layout options).

No problem, my wife occasionally will have all her teacher friends over and they like to move the furniture around to accomodate the meetings. Plus, it is easier when you vacuum.

We have Barcaloungers (hey, that's just fun to say!) Lots and lots of choices, and the best thing was that they recline in two positions - 'watching the movie' and 'out like a light'. The loveseat has two reclining seats side-by-each and the chesterfield has both ends reclining, with the middle staying static. Also a reclining chair. Comfy as can be and warrantied for 26,000 extensions!

Hey Amie, any chance of you posting a pic of your Barcaloungers since my wife is a visiual person? I have checked out several of the websites posted by others(thanks) but you don't always see your options in real life setups just virtual.

I'm looking at the Palliser Home Theater Furniture line myself. They can be seen on many sites, and in many stores--even here in Calgary! You can pick from many combinations to make something somewhat unique to your set-up. Like so many others, my wife is insisting on snuggling. I think we'll be going with two attached loveseats.
