Theatre Seating or Reclining Sofa for 4 or 5

Hi, I’m searching for theatre seating or a reclining sofa seating for 4 or 5. I would like the end pieces to angle in if possible. We have limited space, the whole piece needs to be no longer than 130”. Also due to a wood burning stove I need to know how far the foot section sticks out when the pieces are reclined. To keep a safe distance from the stove I’m thinking the extension could not be more than 24” not even sure that is realistic. Or if any of this is a possibility. Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You will want to look at theater seating and put together a system based on components. Keep in mind that no matter what maker you go with, you are essentially buying a single motorized recliner and adding arms to it, which can be straight or angled. These are not inexpensive setups. If an average power recliner is $2k, then multiply by four or five seats.

That 24” measurement you are looking for is not a published spec. Arm yourself with a tape measure when you go forth shopping.and use an average.

This is one example of theatre seating components :

Thanks, do they all have to me motorized? This is not really something I was considering, I was just thinking old school recliners. Guess I need to do a lot of research. Appreciate the links.

Motorized is better, especially if have concerns about footrest distance as you can stop the recline in any part of the open arc with power recline. Plus, while I have ordered dozens of replacement mechs for manual recliners, I have never had to replace a mechanism for a power recliner - not a one. Manual ones get shocked and kicked hard by users over time, resulting in rivet shears and weakening. When the motors do the lifting and closing, they do so gently, and as such the mechs last the life of the piece. Power is the way to go.

Thanks again!!
