Manhattan cinema recliners are meticulously designed in Australia to give you the best possible value for money in home cinema seating. Using quality parts from around the world they have designs to suit every taste, and unlimited finish options to give you the only true custom finish to suit your personal style.
Start With The Mechanism: All Manhattan chairs feature a premium motorized recliner mechanism as their foundation, providing a sturdy base for the chair to be built on. What's more, they come with an ultra-quiet 'Stealth' motor, barely audible even in a quiet cinema room. Power recline offers a huge advantage in that the chair stays put at the angle you choose, if you shift your weight the chair won't budge. This mechanism is designed for cinema usage. As you recline, the entire chair moves forwards allowing it to be placed very close to the back wall. What's more, the leg rest comes up first and this allows more flexibility in how far back you want to recline, allowing for more comfortable cinema viewing and ensuring your ear height does not change much, allowing for better calibration of your home cinema.
Then Build A Quality Frame: The frame is perhaps the most important component to provide a long lasting chair. Manhattan's are hand made by skilled carpenters to ensure the best fit and finish, especially important in long rows. Using a solid wood frame will ensure many years of sturdy use. The consoles are all wood construction and every little detail has been thought through, even to the point where the storage compartment lid uses soft close hinges to stop it from slamming.
Next Assemble The Seat Base: Comfort is really important. But so is longevity. Many chairs on the market feel extremely soft when you first sit on them in a showroom… However, try sitting on them for a 2 hour movie, you will find the lack of support comes through over time. Further, super soft chairs typically utilise very thin springs which bend and snap, and low density foams which sag after as little as 6 months use.
With Manhattan's Standard Series recliners, they have adopted a 'pocket spring' seat base, with each coil is in its own enclosure providing ultimate stability across the seat. The pocket springs are sandwiched between two layers of high‐density foam. The whole base is then wrapped in an ultra‐breathable cloth to allow airflow and easy drying for any spills. This is all taken a step further with the Pro Series recliners, using a multi-gauge high tensile spring system and foam packs in three different settings: soft, medium or firm – your choice at no extra cost.
Of course they don't stop there as the backrest and headrests are super plush. Some feature dual motor options for perfect positioning of your head to see the screen. The armrests are positioned to allow for support and relaxation. The ultimate test is to watch each client's expression when they first sit in a Manhattan chair - almost always a smile from ear to ear.
Fit The Best Top Grain Leather Or Fabrics: Manhattan only use top grain leather, no split, no reconstituted, only the best, everywhere you touch. Leather is a great product for a cinema chair with a fantastic texture and softness, as well as being easy to clean. Manhattan also have vegan-friendly microfibre leathers available (which in many cases are harder wearing than top grain leather). Of course, Manhattan also offer a range of fabric finishes too, especially popular for those living in colder climates providing a more natural warmth as well as a more affordable price. The fabrics include suede, textured and velvets!
The stitch-work comes as standard colour-matched to your chairs, but there is the option to choose contrast stitching as a no cost option. Some client favourites are red on black, white on black, and black on white. Just another way you can personalize your chairs.
Finish By Allowing You To Truly Customize The Final Product: Manhattan want these chairs to be all about you. As such they have created a huge list of options to make this possible. For a comprehensive list of what options are available, please see below.
The most popular options are the chiller cup holders with in-seat heating, massage and integrated lighting and also the Crowson motion effects system allowing you to really feel the bass through the chair.
