Other models include individual home theater lounge and reclining chairs with foot rests etc, the layout of which usually is prescribed by room acoustic features.
Quite often, to enjoy maximum performance of your home theater system, custom home theater furniture may be required, which, in addition to being laid out at prescribed locations determined by room acoustics, needs to be designed to fit the interior décor of the room.

Home theaters seating layout is generally determined relative to the position of the speakers, which are placed at 45 or 90 degree angles to each other.
The kind of surround or rear speakers will also impact the layout of the seating. Ultimately, the emphasis given to home theater seating layout will differ according to varying perceptions of functionality and aesthetics between the common man and the professional audiophile.
