How to choose the right home cinema or tech sofa

Fallen in love with the idea of a home cinema sofa but unsure where to start? We’ve narrowed down the four most important things to think about before you start shopping:

Think about size

The first thing you need to do is measure your living room or home cinema room. Once you’ve got your measurements, you can see which size sofa would suit your space best. For those in smaller spaces, you might find that one of our ‘wall away’ recliners works best. These clever designs can be fully reclined even when placed just a few centimetres from the wall.

Consider functionality

Next, consider what kind of functionality you’d like your home cinema sofa to have. If you’re after an authentic cinema experience, look no further than our Cinemax range. With its winning combination of power recliners comfort, Dolby surround sound, built-in massage units, wireless charging and snack consoles, it has everything you need to enjoy a night at the movies in the comfort of your own home. If you’d like something a little more understated, our power recliners deliver incredible feet-up comfort in sleek, contemporary designs that let you stretch out in-front of the TV after a long day at work in total comfort.

Choose your material

Your next task is to choose between fabric or leather. Leather sofas age beautifully while fabric sofas come in a much wider array of colours and patterns. If you have littles ones or pets, you might want to think about choosing more durable finishes as well.

Try before you buy

Lastly, you can’t beat taking a few sofas for a test sit first. Visit your nearest store to speak to one of our sofa experts and experience the comfort of our tech sofas in person.

How to style your tech sofa

Looking for styling tips? While tech sofas might look easy to style, they can be a little tricky to get right. We find it’s helpful to start with the colour of your sofa and establish your colour scheme first, and then decide on the other elements of your interior like textures, accessories and occasional furniture. Sofas in neutral shades like taupe, beige and grey beautifully complement a minimalist colour scheme, while more vibrant sofas will stand out against bold palettes and maximalist design schemes. Once you’ve settled on a colour palette, it’s time to turn your attention to making your sofa feel like somewhere you really want to spend time. That means finding scatter cushions that spark joy and throws that make you feel cosy on those colder winter nights. Coffee tables and side tables are a must too to keep snacks and drinks to hand during boxset binges. We love a statement table lamp or candles for the perfect ambience-enhancing finishing touch. As home cinema sofas tend to be on the more contemporary end of the style spectrum, you’ll find modern accessories work best. Think pieces of abstract wall art, brightly coloured rugs and one or two quirky plant pots. And if you prefer a more understated look, you can always opt for more minimalist or timeless accessories. Finally, no home cinema set-up would be complete without an epic entertainment system to match. Our range of TV stands ranges from the compact and discreet to wall units with built-in LED lighting big enough for 60 inch TVs.

How to care for your tech sofa

To keep your tech sofa looking its best, it’s important to take good care of it in between all those movie marathons and lounge sessions. Here are some of our top tips:

• While we all have our favourite corners and seat cushions, make sure to switch up your spot every so often to allow your cushions to wear evenly.
• Always replump the cushions after you’ve sat on them. Tip: Smooth cushions following the same pattern as the Union Jack flag. It really works!
• Clean your sofa regularly. For leather, wipe clean with a damp cloth and for fabric, vacuum with an upholstery attachment.

Our Care+ Kits make it even easier to look after your sofa. Choose either our Leather Care Kit or our Fabric Care Kit and you’ll find everything you need to keep your sofa in tip-top condition. Store it away somewhere handy and you’ll always be ready for those accidental slips and spills.
