The Cinema range is our collection of relaxation-first sofas and chairs, designed around comfort and film nights. Every seat is a powered electric recliner with a built-in cup holder, so the whole family can settle back with a drink close to hand. The range spans a single armchair, a 2 seater, a 3 seater and matching sofa sets, so you can furnish anything from a snug to a big open-plan living room in one coordinated look. To see the wider choice of reclining sofas across the store, our recliner sofas collection is a good place to start.
Yes — that's the signature of the Cinema range. Each sofa and chair has built-in cup holders, giving everyone a handy, stable place to rest a mug, glass or can while they recline, rather than balancing drinks on the arm or reaching for a side table. It's a small touch that makes a real difference on a cinema night, keeping drinks (and often the remote) within easy reach. The exact placement and number of cup holders — whether they're set into the arms or a central console — is shown on each product page, so check there for the configuration of the piece you like.
Yes. Every seat in the Cinema range is a powered electric recliner, 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 recline runs on a motor, each sofa or chair needs to sit within reach of a mains socket, and it simply plugs in on delivery. It's an easy, effortless way to recline — no handles to pull. For powered chairs to match, our electric recliner chairs collection shows the wider choice.
No — the Cinema range is upholstered in Leather Aire, a leather-look material with a smooth, wipe-clean surface. Leather Aire is not genuine leather; it's a hard-wearing, leather-effect material that gives you the appearance and feel of leather with easy day-to-day care and a lower price than a natural hide. It's its own material, so we never describe it as genuine leather, and we never call it faux leather either. If you specifically want a natural hide, see our genuine leather sofas.
| Material | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Leather Aire (Cinema) | Leather-look material; 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 piece with natural character |
| Faux leather | Man-made; uniform finish | Budget-friendly, low-maintenance seating |
The Cinema range comes in two easy-to-live-with colours: a warm brown and a smart black. Brown brings warmth and pairs naturally with wood tones and neutral schemes, while black is smart, timeless and works with almost any room; both are practical shades that hide everyday marks well, which suits a busy family sofa. The wipe-clean Leather Aire surface keeps both looking fresh with very little effort. To browse the wider sofa choice across the store, see our sofas range.
There's a size for every room. Choose a single armchair, a 2 seater or a 3 seater on its own, or a matching sofa set such as 3+2, 2+2 or 3+2+1, with more combinations besides — a 2+2 suits a medium room, while a 3+2 or 3+2+1 gives a busy family plenty of reclining seats, each with cup holders. Because every seat reclines, a full set turns a living room into a proper home-cinema space. For coordinated multi-piece options across the store, our sofa sets collection shows the full choice of combinations.
A reclining sofa or set needs a little planning. Each seat tilts back and extends a footrest, so leave clearance behind for the backrest and in front for the footrest, and keep each piece within reach of a mains socket as it's powered. Measure the room for the sofa or the full set, and — just as important — measure your doorways, hallways and stairwells for delivery, since a large sofa or set is a big delivery. Each product page lists the dimensions, including the space needed when fully reclined. Our sofa buying guide covers measuring up in more detail.
Leather Aire is easy to look after: wipe the surface with a clean, slightly damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth, blot spills straight away rather than rubbing, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners, wet wipes and abrasive sponges. Unlike genuine leather it doesn't need conditioning. The cup holders are just as simple — wipe them out regularly and dry them, especially after a spill, to keep them fresh — and it's worth keeping the reclining mechanism free of crumbs and operating the button smoothly. Our guide to cleaning a leather-look sofa sets out a simple routine.
Yes. Every piece in the Cinema range meets 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 both colours and every size and set.
Most in-stock Cinema pieces are delivered within 7–10 working days, with free delivery. Delivery is carried out by a two-person team who bring your sofa or chair 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. The powered pieces simply plug into a mains socket on arrival. Because a full 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.
