I had put this inquiry into my main thread without getting any reply, hoping putting it into its own thread some of you who have gone this route have some advice.
Starting to think of getting real theater seats down there to replace my 20 year old couches. Anyone have any recommendations? Thinking of going 2 rows of 3 and 3, with a riser being installed for second row. See the pics on page 1 to get an idea of size and consideration for getting to the bathroom:

Think I can safely get 3 good size seats in there with enough room on the right hand side for the bathroom? (roughly 15 feet width) without making the left hand seat jam against the wall?
First thought is considering 3 freestanding recliners in the Fusion Escape collection:

They say 37" wide but lets call that 40 for a little room between em, 40x 3 = 120 inches so I'd have 60 inches to play with total on both sides. 20 inches off one wall and 40 on the main right hand side, that's 3 and a half feet, is that enough?
Do you like full sized back chairs or do you think they compromise the surround sound too much?
Would you think a recliner-loveseat-recliner would be a good choice for a second row to have a place to snooze/snuggle in or defeats the theater idea?
Any brands or stores you recommend? Is it worth taking a trip to The Big Screen Store?
Other advice you can share???
