The Cinema range brings electric reclining leather seating to home-entertainment spaces. Each seat reclines at the touch of a button, and most models include two built-in cup holders, which is why the range works so well for film nights, gaming and long TV sessions. The leather surface wipes clean easily, a practical bonus in a room where snacks and drinks are part of the evening.
Despite the "chairs" name, the range is mostly recliner sofas and sofa sets, with a smaller number of single armchairs, so you can furnish anything from a reading corner to a full home-cinema suite. If you specifically want single powered chairs, our electric recliner chairs collection focuses on those.
The name "Cinema" works on two levels here: it is the product range, and it signals the intended use. These are seats designed to be sat in for a couple of hours at a time, with the reclined position, padded support and cup holders all pointing at relaxed, screen-facing evenings rather than formal living-room seating.
The Cinema range includes single recliner armchairs, 2 and 3 seater recliner sofas, and larger sets in 3+1, 3+2, 3+3, 2+2, 3+1+1 and 3+2+1 layouts. In practice most of the range is sofas and sets rather than single chairs, so it suits households furnishing a whole room as much as anyone after a single seat. Use the size filter above the grid to jump straight to the format you want.
For a full matching suite of reclining seats, the sets here or our recliner sofa sets range are the natural place to look, while a single armchair suits a snug or a spare corner.
As a rough guide, a single armchair gives one person a dedicated reclining seat; a 2 or 3 seater sofa suits a couple or small family; and a set such as a 3+2 or 3+2+1 spreads reclining seats across a larger room. Sets pair a bigger sofa with smaller pieces, so several people can recline at once rather than sharing one sofa. If you are unsure how much space a set will take, measuring the room and marking the footprint with tape is the quickest way to sense-check the fit.
Every model in this range is electric, moving the seat and backrest at the touch of a button, so each reclining seat needs to sit within reach of a power socket. There are no manual models in the Cinema range. The powered action is smooth and easy to adjust, which suits long viewing sessions where you want to change position without getting up.
Most models also include two built-in cup holders, typically set into a central console or armrest, keeping drinks and a remote within reach. It is a small feature that makes a real difference in a home-cinema setup.
Because the mechanism is powered, plan for a socket near each reclining seat, and keep the cable routed clear of the moving parts. Electric reclining is well suited to anyone who wants to adjust position easily without leaning forward to pull a handle, which is part of why the range works so well for longer sessions in a dedicated TV or cinema room.
The Cinema range is upholstered in leather, which is easy to wipe clean and wears well in a busy entertainment room. It comes in black, tan and grey: black reads modern and hides marks well, tan is a warm mid-tone, and grey is a soft neutral that suits most schemes. The exact leather specification is listed on each product page, so check there rather than assuming a single description across the range.
For other leather tones in different shapes, our cream leather sofas range shows a lighter option.
You can see the full choice of leather seating across our wider leather sofas collection.
With single chairs, sofas and full sets, all electric and all leather, it helps to take each decision in turn.
If you want one seat for a snug or a spare corner, a single recliner armchair is the simplest choice. If you are furnishing a whole home-cinema or family room, a sofa or a set keeps everyone comfortable and the look consistent.
Match the seat count to your room, remembering that reclining models need more depth than their upright measurement. Mark the footprint on the floor with tape, allow for the footrests to extend, and leave room to walk around.
Black suits modern and darker rooms and hides marks; tan brings warmth; grey is an easy neutral. For a darker look across other shapes, our black leather sofas show how black leather sits in a room.
If a warmer mid-tone appeals more, our tan sofas are worth comparing before you settle on a colour.
For a dedicated cinema room, think about sightlines to the screen and socket positions for the electric mechanisms. A set with a mix of larger and smaller pieces lets you spread reclining seats around the room rather than lining everyone up on one sofa.
Because the backrest tilts back as the footrest rises, an electric recliner takes up more depth than its upright measurement suggests, and each seat needs to reach a power socket. Sets and larger sofas need more clearance than a single chair. Check the reclined dimensions on the product page, measure that depth in your room, and plan socket positions before ordering.
Recliners are also heavier than standard seating, so check doorway and hallway widths for delivery access. Sets are delivered in sections, which makes larger pieces easier to get into a room.
Most Cinema models include two built-in cup holders, as noted in their product titles, but not every single model does. If cup holders are essential to your setup, check the product title and description before ordering rather than assuming, and our team can confirm for a specific model if you are unsure.
Wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Dust regularly and keep the recliner out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can dry and fade leather over time. Blot any spills promptly rather than rubbing them in.
Look after the mechanism as well as the leather: keep the moving parts clear of items slipping down the seats, avoid trapping the power cable behind the sofa, and operate the recliner smoothly rather than forcing it. A little routine care keeps both the leather and the powered action in good order.
For the cup-holder consoles, a quick wipe after film nights stops spills drying in, and it is worth checking down the sides of the seats now and then for anything that could jam the footrest as it closes.
The Cinema recliners are built for extended relaxation, with padded seats and backrests and an adjustable reclined position so you can settle into a comfortable angle for a film or a gaming session. Comfort over a long evening is helped by changing position occasionally and by choosing the seat size that genuinely suits you rather than the largest that fits.
If you can, try the reclining action in our Coventry showroom before you buy, so you know the seat depth and recline feel right for you.
It is also worth thinking about who will use each seat: a taller person may prefer a deeper seat and a fuller recline, while the cup-holder consoles on the sets give everyone their own space for a drink and remote. Because the seats recline independently on many models, one person can sit upright while another fully reclines, which suits households that watch together but relax differently.
For a dedicated home-cinema space, plan seating around clear sightlines to the screen, comfortable spacing between seats, and easy access to power for the electric mechanisms. A larger set spreads reclining seats across the room, while a single sofa plus an armchair suits a smaller snug. Keep the leather out of direct sunlight if the room doubles as a daytime space.
To finish the room, matching footstools give somewhere to rest your feet between reclining seats.
Acoustics and light matter too: soft furnishings help absorb sound, and keeping the screen wall free of windows reduces glare. If the room doubles as an everyday living space rather than a dedicated cinema, a single sofa-and-armchair pairing in a neutral colour like grey tends to sit more comfortably in daytime use than a large blacked-out suite.
Most in-stock Cinema recliners arrive within 7–10 working days, with free delivery to England and Wales. Our own two-person team brings the item into your chosen ground-floor room, sets it up and checks the reclining action, access permitting. Sets are delivered in sections, and electric models simply need plugging into a nearby socket once positioned.
If an L-shaped layout would suit your room better, it is worth comparing our corner recliner sofa option too.
