3 seat sofa with 'sweet spot' or 2 recliners?

[Jules]

I've a had a La-z-Boy cool chair in the centre of my cinema for about 6 months now.
Its very comfortable but its also very big, and there's really not much room for anyone else to watch in a reasonable position.

So, the choices are:

a) 2 recliners left and right of the prime centre position (so nobody gets the perfect position)?

b) A 2 seater sofa. Not as cool looking and still without a 'central' position', but perhaps more practical in a smaller space and each seat will be 'closer' to the central position.

c) A 3 seater sofa. Takes up the same space as 2 recliners but with the benefit of a 'central' postion.


Given that I hate sitting 'off centre', I'm tempted to sell the cool chair and get a 3 seater sofa instead.

How do you deal with the seating arrangements in your home cinema?

Have you seen the ritz range at harveys, they have 2 or 3 seaters and come in straight or curved. I went looking at them last week and they look very smart, and the best bit is they are electric recliners and have drinks holders

3 of those would be too wide.
2 of them would sacrifice the 'central zone' seat.
