What is the Cinema range?

A collection of cinema-style electric recliner sofas and chairs with built-in cup holders, made for relaxation and film nights. Every seat is a powered recliner with a cup holder, and the range spans a single armchair, a 2 seater, a 3 seater and matching sets. At Furniture Instore it comes in Leather Aire, in brown and black.

Do the Cinema sofas have cup holders?

Yes — it's the signature of the range. Each sofa and chair has built-in cup holders, giving everyone a stable place to rest a mug, glass or can while they recline. The exact placement and number — 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.

Are the recliners electric?

Yes. Every seat is a powered electric recliner, so you recline it using a button or handset rather than a manual handle, and you can stop at any position that suits you. Because the recline runs on a motor, each piece needs to sit within reach of a mains socket, and it simply plugs in on delivery.

Are Cinema sofas genuine leather?

No. They're 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 the look and feel of leather with easy care and a lower price than a natural hide. It isn't genuine leather, and we never describe it as faux either.

What colours are available?

Two: a warm brown and a smart black. Brown 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. Check the product grid above for current stock in each colour.

What sizes and sets are available?

A single armchair, a 2 seater and a 3 seater, plus matching sofa set combinations such as 3+2, 2+2 and 3+2+1, with more besides. A 2+2 suits a medium room, while a 3+2 or 3+2+1 gives a larger family plenty of reclining seats, each with cup holders. Check the product grid above for what's currently in stock.

How much space does an electric recliner need?

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. Measure the room for the sofa or full set and your doorways, hallways and stairwells for delivery. Each product page lists the dimensions, including the space needed when fully reclined.

What is the difference between Leather Aire, genuine leather and faux leather?

Leather Aire is a leather-look material with a wipe-clean surface at a mid price. Genuine leather is a natural hide — breathable, long-lasting and full of character, at a higher price. Faux leather is a man-made, uniform material that costs least. The Cinema range is Leather Aire, which we never describe as faux; genuine leather and faux leather are separate ranges.

How do I clean the sofa and cup holders?

Wipe the Leather Aire with a clean, slightly damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth; blot spills promptly rather than rubbing, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive sponges. Unlike genuine leather it doesn't need conditioning. Wipe out the cup holders regularly and dry them, especially after a spill, and keep the reclining mechanism free of crumbs.

What is your returns policy?

We offer a 14-day change of mind returns window from the day your order is delivered, on items returned in their original condition. To arrange a return, contact our team within those 14 days and we'll talk you through the next steps. This is in addition to your statutory rights, which cover goods that are faulty or not as described.

What happens if my order arrives damaged?

If your sofa, chair or set arrives with any damage, contact our team as soon as possible — ideally within 48 hours — with a few photographs, and we'll arrange a repair, replacement or collection. It helps to check everything over on delivery before the team leaves where you can, and to test the powered recline and the cup holders.

Do I need to assemble the sofas myself?

There's very little to do. Our two-person team brings each piece into your room and connects any sections and fits any feet on-site, so it's ready to use, and the powered seats simply plug into a mains socket. Larger sets arrive in pieces that link together, with no tools needed.

What guarantee comes with the Cinema range?

Every piece is inspected before it leaves us, and your purchase is protected by your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which cover goods that are faulty or not as described. You also have our 14-day change of mind returns. For confirmation of any specific manufacturer guarantee on a particular model, please check the product page or ask our team before you order.
