Hi everyone, first time poster. Well, I'm building a theater space.. The problem I'm having is the room dimensions.. 19 ft long, 10 feet wide after drywall. My problem is seating.There is no room for risers.. The ceiling is too low. I'm getting a projector, with a 110" screen.The speakers are behind the screen, and surround in the ceiling. What would anyone suggest for seating? Thanks

GaryS-

Here are some ideas we did for clients with the same problem. This will work depending on where the door is to your space. We first recommended getting the biggest Left or Right sided sectional you can fit in the space comfortably based on the location of the door at floor level. In front of that sectional you could do Beanbag chairs or floor seating with large decorative pillows to lay on.
The other design we did for a client was a Moroccan themed room. A Queen Size mattress was built onto a riser with large pillows and seating. Then large pillows and another smaller twin mattress shifted lengthwise to create a huge lay anywhere you want Moroccan room. Picture ideas attached here:

Hope this helps,

Your room is just 1 foot wider than mine as I have work within 9 foot width with at least x6 stadium Irwin rocker seats, 3 seats across each of the two rows I have fitted in.

You might like to consider real cinema seats. eBay USA has a few cheap ones.

The Whole eBay listing and some seats are very pricey as they are sold in large bulk and gather your on a budget or would like to budget it?

$17.50 for these seats is not a bad going price and rocker seats.

$100.00

Blimey, eBay USA has very little at low prices. Real cinema seats take up less space and it would at least make you feel like your at a cinema. Just keep watching eBay for some decent bargains no need to rush it. Or take change on the $100.00 ones which does seem a bit much but they look okay But I would prefer rockers as they recline back. :)

My theater has 7' ceilings and I only needed a 1' riser for a second row to a 106" screen. Your ceiling is lower than 7'? BTW I just used heavy duty pallets stacked two high to give me a 1' riser.
