A Cinema Grey sofa is a grey, electric reclining sofa from our Cinema range, built for comfort and relaxation. Each seat reclines at the push of a button and has a built-in cupholder, so it's an easy choice for film nights, box-set marathons and simply putting your feet up at the end of the day. The soft grey shade is one of the most versatile colours in a living room, sitting happily alongside both cool and warm schemes. To see the wider choice of reclining seating across the store, our recliner sofa sets collection is a good place to start.
No — the Cinema range is upholstered in Leather Aire, a hard-wearing, leather-look material with a smooth, wipe-clean surface. It gives you the appearance and feel of leather with easy day-to-day care and a lower price than a natural hide, which makes it well suited to a busy family room. Leather Aire is its own material: it isn't genuine leather, and we never describe it as faux leather either. If you specifically want a natural hide, see our genuine leather sofas; for a man-made budget alternative, our faux leather sofas are a separate range.
| Material | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Leather Aire (Cinema range) | Leather-look composite; wipe-clean | A leather look with easy care at a lower price |
| Genuine leather | Natural hide; ages to a soft patina | A premium, long-life sofa with natural character |
| Faux leather | Man-made; uniform finish | Budget-friendly, low-maintenance seating |
The Cinema range is designed around the way families actually unwind. The powered recline lets everyone find their own comfortable position without wrestling a handle, the built-in cupholders keep drinks and snacks close by during a film, and the generous, well-padded seats are made for settling in rather than sitting up straight. Choose a matching set such as a 2+2 or 3+3 and the whole family can stretch out together — which is exactly what a sofa like this is for.
Each seat is powered, so you recline it using a simple button or handset rather than a manual lever, and you can stop at any point to find the position that suits you. Because the recliner runs on a motor, the sofa needs to sit within reach of a mains socket. The cupholder is built into the armrest or a fixed console, giving you a stable place to rest a drink while you relax. If you'd prefer a handle-operated version without a socket, our wider recliner ranges include manual options; for powered chairs specifically, see our electric recliner chairs.
The Cinema Grey range comes as a single recliner armchair, a 2 seater and a 3 seater, plus matching sofa set combinations such as 2+2 and 3+3, with more layouts besides. A single 2 seater or armchair suits smaller rooms, while a 3+3 or a mix of a three-seater and an armchair gives a busy family plenty of reclining seats. For coordinated multi-piece options across the store, our sofa sets collection shows the full choice, and if you want to compare single larger sofas, our 3 seater sofas range is a useful reference.
Measure your space first and, because these are recliners, leave clearance behind each seat for the backrest to tilt and in front for the footrest to extend. A 2 seater suits smaller rooms; a 3 seater is the everyday family choice; and a 2+2 or 3+3 set works best in larger or open-plan living rooms where several people want to recline at once. Remember to plan for a socket within reach, as every seat is powered. If you would like a fuller read on choosing seating, our team can talk you through it on 02476 705 600.
Leather Aire is one of the easier materials to look after. Wipe the surface with a clean, slightly damp cloth to lift dust and marks, then dry with a soft cloth, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners, wet wipes and abrasive sponges, which can dull the finish. Blot spills straight away rather than rubbing. Unlike genuine leather it doesn't need conditioning — a regular wipe-down is enough. On the recliners, keep the mechanism free of crumbs and debris and operate the button smoothly.
Very. The wipe-clean Leather Aire surface shrugs off everyday spills and doesn't hold onto dust and hair the way some fabrics can, and grey is a forgiving, easy-to-match shade for a busy room. The powered recline and cupholders make the sofa genuinely useful for family evenings, and the structured frames and padded seats are built for daily use. It's a practical, comfortable choice for a household that spends real time on the sofa.
Yes. The sofas meet UK Fire Resistant (UKFR) standards, so the materials and construction comply with the fire-safety regulations required for upholstered furniture sold in the UK. This is a baseline legal requirement rather than an optional extra, and it applies across the whole Cinema Grey range.
Most in-stock Cinema Grey sofas are delivered within 7–10 working days, with free delivery. Delivery is carried out by a two-person team who bring the sofa into your chosen ground-floor room, access permitting, and set it in place; old sofa removal can be arranged if you'd like your existing seating taken away at the same time. Powered sofas simply plug into a mains socket on arrival. Because a full recliner set is a larger delivery, it's worth measuring doorways, hallways and stairwells in advance. Full timescales and coverage are on our delivery information page.
