Home theater furniture is important because if you aren't comfortable while watching a great home theatre system, then what's the point of the rest of it? It doesn't matter how good the rest of the system is because no one will be comfortable watching anything. In fact, the right home theater seating is arguable almost as important as the sound and picture quality of the home theatre itself! If you don't like the idea of a couch in a home theater set up, consider a series of recliners in a row. Not only do you get the amazing comfort of recliners but by having them lined up in a row you can still have the effect of a theater setting.
