Theater seating is designed to wrap performance-goers in comfort, while providing amenities that will make their experience more enjoyable. Cup holders, arm rests and folding seats keep everything within reach, and plush upholstered seating reduces pressure points. Today's theater and auditorium seating benefits from new advances in foam materials to give the patron a high degree of comfort.

Theater Seating

Theater seating is stadium-style seating that is used in auditoriums, playhouses and cinemas. Chairs are constructed with foam padding wrapped around an ergonomically-designed frame. The theater seat is distinct from other stadium seating in its emphasis on luxurious comfort. Its basic design is, however, similar. The folding seat that allows for efficient use of space is shared with the stadium seating found in arenas and sports complexes.

A typical theater seat will always be upholstered. The choice of fabric often reflects the intended use. Movie theaters will often use durable twill fabrics for stain-resistance while playhouses place the emphasis on luxury, and choose velvets. A plush fabric will give the seating the upscale look preferred by theater-goers.

Designed For Comfort

For those spending a long time sitting in a theater to watch a play or movie, the comfort of their chair is important. Theater seats are designed to be compact yet comfortable. Advanced steel and plastic framing materials, and foam that contours to your body combine with ergonomic design to provide support for the body.
