What are the exact dimensions of a home theatre recliner in India?

Standard Sky Recliner dimensions: Seat width 24 inches (61 cm). Arm width 5.5 inches (14 cm). Back height 42 inches (107 cm). Seat height from floor 19 inches (48 cm). Depth seated upright 39 inches (99 cm). Depth fully reclined with footrest extended 67 inches (170 cm). Custom size available at +₹2,000 per seat.

What is the formula to calculate home theatre recliner total width?

Three formulas by layout type. Shared Arm: arm×(seats+1) + seat×seats = total. Example: 4 seats at 24 inch seat + 5.5 inch arm = 5.5×5 + 24×4 = 123.5 inches (314 cm). With Console: 2×arm + seat×seats + 12×(seats-1) = total. Example 4 seats = 143 inches (363 cm). Love Seat (even seaters only): 5×seats + seat×seats = total. Example 4 seats at 22 inch = 108 inches / 9ft (274 cm).

How much clearance does a recliner need from the wall?

A standard motorized recliner needs a minimum 6 inches (15 cm) wall clearance behind the backrest, plus the footrest extends 28 inches (71 cm) forward when fully reclined. Total reclined depth is 67 inches (170 cm) vs 39 inches (99 cm) upright. A wall-hugger living room recliner only needs 6 inches clearance because the seat slides forward as it reclines.

What are the four home theatre recliner layout types in India?

Sky Recliners offers four layouts: 1) Shared Arm — 5.5 inch shared arm between every two seats, most space-efficient, minimum 22 inch seat for HT. 2) With Console — 12 inch console between every seat pair with cup holder, USB, tray table, storage and motor controls. 3) Love Seat — no individual arms, continuous sofa feel, even seat counts only, all seats recline. 4) Living Room Flush — wall-hugger mechanism, only 6 inch wall clearance needed, minimum 24 inch seat.

How many recliners fit in a 10x10 or 12x14 ft home theatre room?

A 10x10 ft room (120 inches wide) fits 3 seats comfortably at standard 24 inch seat plus 5.5 inch arms — total 94 inches with 26 inches spare. With compact 22 inch seat plus 5 inch arm the total is only 86 inches with 34 inches spare. The common assumption that a 10ft room only fits 2 seats is incorrect — 3 seats fit easily. A 12x14 ft room (144 inches wide) fits 4 seats in Shared Arm layout at 24 inch seat — total 123.5 inches with 20.5 inches spare. Console layout for 4 seats is 143 inches — very tight in a 12ft room. For 5 seats in a 12ft room, use 22 inch seats and 5 inch arms for 135 inches total with 9 inches spare.

Which home theatre recliner brand is best in India?

Sky Recliners is India's leading factory-direct luxury recliner manufacturer, established in Ghitorni, New Delhi in 2016. With 10,000 plus installations across 18 plus cities and a 4.9 star average rating, Sky Recliners uses German Okin motors, offers full bespoke customisation including seat size, arm size, material and accessories, and carries a 5-year mechanism warranty with on-site service across India.

What is the price of a motorized home theatre recliner in India?

Sky Recliners pricing: Manual home theatre recliner ₹22,000 per seat base. Motorised single motor from ₹27,999 per seat (regular ₹30,000), promotional and GST-inclusive. Premium dual motor with leather ₹10,000 to ₹2,50,000 per seat. Material upgrades: Premium leatherette +₹3,000/seat, Half Italian Leather +₹18,000/seat, Full Italian Leather +₹30,000/seat. Custom size +₹2,000/seat. Premium arm +₹2,000/seat. Delivery free within Delhi NCR, ₹3,000 per seat outside NCR. All prices GST-inclusive, factory-direct. Separate living room recliners start at ₹17,999 per seat manual and ₹29,999 motorised.

What seat width and arm width options are available for customisation?

Seat width options: 22 inches (HT minimum), 23 inches (used for middle seat in odd-count layouts), 24 inches (standard and living room minimum), custom width at +₹2,000 per seat. Arm width options: 5 inches (slim), 5.5 inches (standard), 6 inches (comfortable), 6.5 inches (premium, +₹2,000/seat). Reducing from 24 inch seat plus 6.5 inch arm to 22 inch seat plus 5 inch arm saves 15.5 total inches across a 4-seat setup.

What is a wall-hugger recliner and how does it work?

A wall-hugger recliner uses a special mechanism that slides the seat base forward as the backrest reclines, so the top of the backrest stays close to the wall. This means it only needs 6 inches of wall clearance instead of the 28 inches a standard recliner requires. Ideal for living rooms with limited space between furniture and the wall. Sky Recliners' wall-hugger models require a minimum 24 inch seat width.

What is the difference between single motor and dual motor recliners?

A single motor recliner moves the backrest and footrest together in one linked motion using one button, starting at ₹27,999 per seat (regular ₹30,000). A dual motor recliner has two independent German Okin motors — one controls the backrest independently and one the footrest — allowing zero-gravity positioning, fully flat recline, or any combination. Dual motor is recommended for dedicated home theatres and extended viewing sessions.

What is a Love Seat recliner and how is it different from Shared Arm?

A Love Seat recliner has no individual arms between seats — instead a small shared surface strip connects adjacent seats creating a continuous sofa feel. All seats in a love seat configuration fully recline. Love seat layout only works with even seat counts (2, 4, 6). Formula: 5×seats + seat×seats = total width. Example: 4 seats at 22 inch = 108 inches / 9ft. The Sky Recliners Galaxy 9ft 4-seater is a love seat product. Shared Arm layout has individual 5.5 inch arms between each seat pair.

What motor does Sky Recliners use and why is it better?

Sky Recliners uses German Okin motors exclusively. Okin is the same motor technology used in European luxury furniture and medical-grade recliners. Okin motors are silent in operation, rated for 10 plus years of daily use, and carry a 2-year warranty. Generic motors used by most Indian recliner brands typically last 2 to 4 years under regular use. Sky Recliners is the only Indian manufacturer consistently using Okin motors across its full range.

What warranty does Sky Recliners provide and how is service done?

Sky Recliners warranty: 5 years on the steel mechanism and frame. 2 years on the German Okin motor and electronics. 1 year on foam density and upholstery stitching. All warranty service is on-site — the Sky Recliners team comes to your home. Service is typically scheduled within 48 to 72 hours in major cities. Contact: +91 85888 77018 (service line) or WhatsApp +91 97171 94797.

What recliner accessories are available and what do they cost?

Sky Recliners accessories: LED cup holder (illuminated drink holder), USB charging port, fold-out tray table, hidden storage compartment, motor control buttons in console, ambient under-lighting. In console layout these are built into the 12-inch console between every seat pair. Accessories can also be added individually. Chiller unit (keeps drinks cold) is an optional premium add-on. All accessory pricing confirmed on WhatsApp: +91 97171 94797.

What is a Theatre Bed recliner?

A Theatre Bed is a recliner that reclines to a fully flat 180-degree sleeping position, combining a premium home theatre seat with a luxury bed. Available with triple motor configuration for independent control of backrest, footrest and headrest. Best for immersive viewing experiences or rooms that double as guest spaces. Sky Recliners manufactures theatre beds at their Delhi atelier with the same German Okin motor technology as their standard range.

How should I maintain and clean my recliner?

Leatherette: wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners. Full Italian Leather: use a dedicated leather conditioner every 3 to 6 months to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Fabric: vacuum regularly, spot-clean with mild upholstery cleaner. For motor maintenance: do not obstruct the recline path. Run motors through full cycle monthly. Keep remote controls dry.

The Complete Guide to Home Theatre Recliner Dimensions, Layouts & Sizing in India (2026)

By Sky Recliners· Updated June 2026· Est. 2016, New Delhi· 15 min read

Most recliner guides stop at "it fits 4 seats." This one goes deeper. We cover exact seat dimensions, arm widths, console sizes, recline depth clearance, layout formulas for every configuration, room sizing by layout type, and what actually affects how many seats fit your room — with visual diagrams drawn from our real product specifications.

Every dimension, formula, and price in this guide is verified from the live Sky Recliners website and our Theatre Builder tool.

Part 1 — Seat Dimensions Explained

A recliner has more dimensions than a regular sofa. You need to plan for both the seated position and the fully reclined position. These are the official Sky Recliners product dimension photos:

Official Sky Recliners product photos · Upright: 35"W × 44"H × 39"D · Reclined: 66" depth

Key insight: The difference between upright (39") and reclined (66") is 27 inches (68 cm). Every row in your theatre needs to account for this. A recliner also needs at least 6 inches (15 cm) clearance from the wall behind it to recline freely — making the true minimum row depth 72 inches (183 cm).

Part 2 — Arms, Consoles & Width Explained

The total width of your recliner setup depends on how many seats, what size the arms are, and whether you choose a console between seats or shared arms. Here are the component widths:

Top view. Left: 3-seat Shared Arm layout (arms between every seat). Right: Console layout (12" console between seats with storage and cup holder).

Arm Width Options

The standard arm width is 5.5 inches (14 cm). A premium arm upgrade (+₹2,000) gives a wider, padded arm with a wooden top panel — typically 7–8 inches wide. Arms exist on both outer ends and between every two seats in Shared Arm layout.

Console Width: 12 Inches

In Console layout, a 12-inch (30 cm) console replaces the shared arm between every two seats. The console includes: built-in cup holders, USB charging port, tray table, storage compartment, and motor control buttons. Wider than a regular arm, so Console layouts are typically 15–20 inches wider than Shared Arm layouts for the same seat count.

Part 2.5 — Customising Seat & Arm Size to Fit Your Room

This is the most practical part of the guide — and the most overlooked. Most people assume a recliner has one fixed size. In reality, both seat width and arm width can be adjusted at Sky Recliners, which means you can often squeeze in an extra seat, or fit the same number of seats more comfortably, just by tuning these two numbers.

Available Seat Width Options

Sky Recliners offers three seat width options for home theatre setups and one for living rooms:

Seat Width	In cm	Use Case	Min. Rule	Cost
22"	56 cm	Compact HT, tight rooms, love seat	HT minimum	Standard
23"	58 cm	HT middle seat (odd layouts)	HT only	Standard
24"	61 cm	Standard HT & all living room	LR minimum	Standard
Custom	Any	Wider seats, XL builds	On request	+₹2,000/seat

The middle-seat rule: In odd-seat home theatre layouts (3, 5, 7 seats), the centre seat is often built at 23" with no recline mechanism. This saves width without sacrificing the feeling of a full seat. The two outer seats still fully recline. This is a common technique when a room is too narrow for all seats at 24" but wide enough for a 23" centre.

Available Arm Width Options

Arm width is the other key variable. Narrower arms save significant total width — especially across a 4–6 seat setup where you have 5–7 arms contributing to the total.

Arm Width	In cm	Feel	Best For
5"	13 cm	Slim, minimal	Tight rooms, maximising seat count
5.5"	14 cm	Standard	Most home theatre builds
6"	15 cm	Comfortable	Wider arm with good elbow support
6.5"	17 cm	Premium / wide	Spacious builds, premium arm upgrade

Top view comparison — same 4 seats at different seat and arm width combinations. Going from widest (128.5") to most compact (113") saves 15.5 inches — enough to fit into a narrower room or add a console upgrade instead.

The Practical Strategy: How to Fit More Seats

Here is the exact decision process Sky Recliners uses to maximise seat count for a given room width:

Situation	Solution	Width Saved
Room is 2–3" too narrow for 24" seats	Drop to 23" seat width	4–5" per seat
Room is 4–6" too narrow	Drop to 22" seat (HT minimum)	8–10" total (4S)
Want 1 extra seat but no room	Use 22" seat + 5" arm combo	Up to 15" total
Odd seat count (3, 5, 7)	23" middle seat, no recline	1" saved at centre
Want console but room too narrow	Reduce seat to 22" to recover width	Console needs +19" vs shared arm
Living room (not theatre)	Minimum 24" seat — no smaller option	Wall-hugger saves depth instead

Real example: A 10ft (120") wide room wants 4 HT seats. At 24" seat + 5.5" arm, total = 123.5" — too wide by 3.5". Solution: switch to 22" seat + 5" arm → total = 113" — fits with 7" to spare. Same 4 seats, smaller room, no compromise on layout. WhatsApp +91 97171 94797 and share your room dimensions — our team works this out in minutes.

Part 3 — The Four Layout Configurations

Sky Recliners builds recliners in four distinct seating configurations — from fully individual standalone seats to hybrid combinations with consoles. Each changes total width, feel, and functionality:

Configuration	4-Seat Total Width	vs Shared Arm	Best For
① Individual — own full arms each side	140" (356cm)	+16.5" wider	Maximum personal space, premium feel
② Shared Arm — arms shared between seats	123.5" (314cm)	— baseline	Most space-efficient, most popular
③ Shared Arm + Love Seat — love seat pairs	124.5" (316cm)	+1" wider	Couples side-by-side, sofa feel per pair
④ Love Seat + Console — pairs with console	131" (333cm)	+7.5" wider	Premium with cup holders & storage

Configuration ① · Maximum Personal Space

Individual — Own Arms Each Side

(2×arm + seat) × seats = total

Every seat has its own two full-width arms — no sharing with the neighbour. Creates the most premium, personal feel — like a standalone armchair scaled for cinema. Each seat is completely self-contained and independent. Widest layout for the same seat count.

4 seats · 24" seat · 5.5" arm each side = 140" (356cm)

Sky Recliners individual home theatre recliner with own full arms each side single seat front view

Single Seat · Individual Config

← 5.5" arm · 24" seat · 5.5" arm → = 35" per seat

Each seat self-contained · Own arm each side · Widest config · Most premium individual feel

Configuration ② · Most Popular · Most Space-Efficient

Shared Arm

arm×(seats+1) + seat×seats = total

Arms shared between every two seats — one arm serves as the right arm of seat 1 and the left arm of seat 2 simultaneously. Most space-efficient layout. Best for 3–5 seat setups. Minimum seat width 22" for HT.

4 seats · 24" seat · 5.5" arm = 123.5" (314cm)

Configuration ③ · Couples Layout · Sofa Feel Per Pair

Shared Arm + Love Seat Combo

arm + (5×2 + seat×2) + arm + (5×2 + seat×2) + arm = total

Two love seat pairs placed side by side, with a shared arm between the pairs and outer arms at each end. Within each pair, seats share a small 5" strip surface (no full arm between them). All 4 seats fully recline. Ideal for 2 couples who want sofa-style closeness within their pair but defined separation between pairs.

4 seats · 22" seat pairs · 5.5" outer arms = 124.5" (316cm)

Two love seat pairs · Shared arm between pairs · All 4 recline · Sofa feel within pair

Configuration ④ · Premium · Love Seat Pairs + Console

Love Seat + Console

arm + loveseat(2S) + console(12") + loveseat(2S) + arm = total

Two love seat pairs flanking a central 12" console. The console between the pairs provides cup holders, USB charging, tray table, storage, and motor controls for all 4 seats. All 4 seats fully recline. The most feature-rich combination — sofa feel within each pair, plus premium console amenities in the centre.

Two rows + walkway	~18ft (550cm)	2 recline depths + 2–3ft walkway + platform

Room Size vs Seat Count — All Options per Room

The previous version of this table showed only one option per room size — which was misleading. Every room can fit more seats by adjusting seat width and arm width. Here is the complete picture with verified formulas:

Room Size	Configuration	Total Width	Spare	Verdict
10×10 ft (120" wide)	2S · 24" seat · 5.5" arm · Shared Arm	64.5"	+55.5"	✅ Lots of room
	3S · 24" seat · 5.5" arm · Shared Arm	94"	+26"	✅ Fits comfortably
	3S · 22" seat · 5" arm · Shared Arm (compact)	86"	+34"	✅ Easiest fit

12×12 ft (144" wide)	3S · 24" seat · 5.5" arm · Shared Arm	94"	+50"	✅ Very comfortable
	4S · 24" seat · 5.5" arm · Shared Arm	123.5"	+20.5"	✅ Standard fit
	4S · 22" seat · 5" arm · Shared Arm (compact)	113"	+31"	✅ Comfortable compact

12×14 ft (144" wide)	4S · 24" seat · 5.5" arm · Shared Arm	123.5"	+20.5"	✅ Standard HT
	4S · 22" seat · 5" arm · Shared Arm	113"	+31"	✅ Comfortable
	4S · 24" seat · 5.5" arm · Console	143"	+1"	⚡ Very tight — use 22" seat instead
	5S · 22" seat · 5" arm · Shared Arm	135"	+9"	⚡ Possible — 22" seat required

14×14 ft (168" wide)	5S · 24" seat · 5.5" arm · Shared Arm	153"	+15"	✅ 5 seats comfortable
	4S · 24" seat · Console	143"	+25"	✅ Console with room to spare
	5S · 22" seat · 5" arm · Shared Arm	135"	+33"	✅ Compact 5 seats

16×14 ft (192" wide)	6S · 24" seat · 5.5" arm · Shared Arm	182.5"	+9.5"	✅ 6 seats
	5S · 24" seat · Console	175"	+17"	✅ 5S Console comfortable
	6S · 22" seat · 5" arm (compact)	152"	+40"	✅ Very comfortable

18×16 ft (216" wide)	7S · 24" seat · 5.5" arm · Shared Arm	212"	+4"	⚡ Tight — use 22" seat for comfort
	6S · 24" seat · Console	207"	+9"	✅ 6S Console fits
	Two rows 3+3 · 22" seat · Shared Arm + platform	86" per row	+34" per row	✅ Two-row cinema setup

The key insight the old table missed: A 10×10 ft room fits 3 seats at standard 24" width + 5.5" arms — total 94", leaving 26" spare. The table previously said only 2 seats. This was wrong. The minimum seat size for home theatre is 22", not 24" — dropping to 22" seat + 5" arm gives 86" total for 3 seats, with 34" to spare in a 10ft room.

Part 7 — German Okin Motor vs Generic Motors

Most buyers don't know the motor brand until it fails. This is the single most important technical difference between Sky Recliners and most other Indian recliner brands.

Attribute	German Okin Motor	Generic Motor (most brands)
Rated lifespan	10+ years daily use	2–4 years typical
Noise level	Near-silent	Audible hum / click
Used in	European luxury + medical recliners	Budget furniture
Serviceability	Replaceable unit, parts available	Often non-serviceable
Warranty at Sky Recliners	2 years on-site service	Typically none or 6 months
Precision	Smooth ramp-up, no jerking	Sudden start/stop

Why this matters for home theatre: A motor that hums disrupts sound during quiet movie scenes. A motor that jerks creates vibration felt through the seat. Okin motors are the reason Sky Recliners can offer a 2-year motor warranty with on-site service — no other Indian manufacturer offers this confidently because generic motors fail unpredictably.

Part 8 — Accessories Deep Dive

Every Sky Recliner can be configured with a range of accessories. Here is what each one does and whether it is recommended:

Accessory	What It Does	Recommended For
LED Cup Holder	Illuminated drink holder built into arm or console. Dims automatically during movies.	All home theatre setups
USB Charging Port	USB-A port in console or arm. Keep phone/tablet charged during long sessions.	Anyone using a phone remote or tablet
Fold-out Tray Table	Pulls out from console for snacks, laptop, or drinks. Folds flat when not in use.	Families, long viewing sessions
Storage Compartment	Hidden drawer in console for remotes, chargers, or small items.	Console layouts
Chiller Unit	Small built-in cooler keeps 1–2 cans chilled. Runs on 12V from seat wiring.	Premium builds, frequent entertaining
Ambient Under-Lighting	LED strip under seat base creates cinema floor-glow effect.	Dedicated dark home theatre rooms
Motor Control in Console	Recline buttons built into console surface instead of handheld remote.	Console layout — always included
Premium Arm (6.5")	Wider, padded arm with wooden or leather top panel. +₹2,000/seat.	Premium builds, wider elbow comfort

Part 9 — Real Customer Scenarios

These are the three most common configurations Sky Recliners installs across India, with exact dimensions and pricing:

Part 10 — Common Mistakes to Avoid

Based on 10,000+ installations across India, here are the mistakes buyers most commonly make — and how to avoid them:

#	Mistake	Consequence	Fix
1	Measuring only upright depth (39")	Recliner hits back wall when extended	Always plan for 67" reclined + 6" wall gap
2	Choosing Console without checking width	4-seat console (143") won't fit a 12ft room	Reduce to 22" seat to recover 8" first
3	Buying fabric in non-AC dusty room	Fabric collects dust, odour, harder to clean	Use leatherette for non-AC or dusty spaces
4	No raised platform for 2nd row	Back row can't see over front row heads	Build 6–8" platform before installation
5	Choosing odd seat count for Love Seat	Love Seat only works with even numbers (2, 4, 6)	Switch to Shared Arm for 3 or 5 seats
6	Not mentioning weight over 100kg	Standard 120kg frame may wear faster	Request reinforced 150kg frame — no extra cost
7	Ordering without showroom visit / Room Planner	Wrong config delivered, costly changes	Use AI Room Planner or visit Ghitorni

Part 11 — Recliner Care & Maintenance

Material	Daily Care	Monthly	Avoid
Leatherette	Wipe with damp cloth	Mild soap clean, dry immediately	Alcohol cleaners, sharp objects
Full Italian Leather	Dry cloth dust-off	Dedicated leather conditioner	Direct sunlight, water soaking
Fabric	Vacuum lightly	Upholstery spray cleaner	Wet scrubbing, bleach
Okin Motor	Keep path clear of objects	Full cycle run (extend + retract)	Water near mechanism, forced movement

Frequently Asked Questions

20 questions answered — all verified from skyrecliners.com

What are the exact dimensions of a Sky Recliner seat?+

Standard dimensions: Seat width 24" (61 cm) · Back height 42" (107 cm) · Seat height 19" (48 cm) · Depth upright 39" (99 cm) · Depth reclined 67" (170 cm) · Standard arm width 5.5" (14 cm) · Console width 12" (30 cm). Custom size available at +₹2,000/seat.

How do I calculate the total width of my recliner setup?+

Use the formula for your layout type:

Shared Arm: arm×(seats+1) + seat×seats
4 seats: 5.5×5 + 24×4 = 123.5" (314 cm)

With Console: 2×arm + seat×seats + 12×(seats−1)
4 seats: 2×5.5 + 24×4 + 12×3 = 143" (363 cm)

Love Seat (even numbers): 5×seats + seat×seats
4 seats at 22": 5×4 + 22×4 = 108" / 9ft (274 cm)

How much space does a recliner need when fully extended?+

A Sky Recliner is 39" (99 cm) depth when upright, and 67" (170 cm) when fully reclined with footrest extended. Always add a minimum 6" (15 cm) wall clearance behind the backrest. Total minimum row depth: ~75" (190 cm). For a wall-hugger living room recliner, only 6" clearance is needed as the seat slides forward when reclining.

What is the difference between Shared Arm and Console layout?+

In Shared Arm, a 5.5" arm sits between every two seats — space-efficient and clean. In Console, a 12" unit replaces the shared arm between seats and includes cup holders, USB charging, tray table, storage, and motor controls. Console is 15–20" wider than Shared Arm for the same seat count, but adds significant functionality. Recommended for dedicated cinema rooms.

What seat width and arm width options are available?+

Seat widths: 22" (HT minimum), 23" (HT middle seat), 24" (standard, LR minimum), custom (+₹2,000/seat). Arm widths: 5", 5.5", 6", 6.5" (6.5" is premium arm +₹2,000/seat). Going from 24"+6.5" to 22"+5" saves 15.5 inches (39 cm) for a 4-seat setup — often enough to fit an extra seat or add a console.

My room is too narrow for the seats I want — what can I do?+

In order: (1) Drop seat width to 22" — saves ~2" per seat. (2) Reduce arms to 5" — saves ~2.5" across 4 seats. (3) Use 23" non-reclining middle seat in odd layouts. Combined across a 4-seat build this saves up to 15.5". WhatsApp us your exact room width — +91 97171 94797 — and we'll calculate the best configuration in minutes.

How many seats fit in a 12×14 ft home theatre room?+

A 10×10 ft room (120" wide) fits 3 seats comfortably at standard 24" seat + 5.5" arm (total 94", spare 26"). With compact 22" seat + 5" arm, total is only 86" with 34" spare. The common assumption of "only 2 seats" is wrong. A 12×14 ft room (144" wide) fits 4 seats in Shared Arm layout at 24" seat (total 123.5", spare 20.5"). Console layout for 4 seats (143") is very tight in this room — use 22" seats to recover space. For a 2-row 3+3 setup, a minimum 16×18 ft room is recommended with a raised platform for back row sightlines. Use the AI Room Planner for your exact room.

Do I need a raised platform for the second row?+

Yes, for clear sightlines to the screen in a two-row setup, the back row typically needs a raised platform of 6–8 inches (15–20 cm). This is usually built as a structural step by your contractor before recliner installation. Sky Recliners' team can advise on the exact height required based on your screen position and recliner seat height (19").

What is the warranty and who services it?+

5 years — steel frame and mechanism. 2 years — German Okin motor and electronics. 1 year — foam and upholstery. All service is on-site — our team comes to your home. Typically within 48–72 hours in major cities. Service line: +91 85888 77018.

Can I visit the factory to see the layouts in person?+

Yes — our Ghitorni showroom displays working examples of all layout types. 416/2, MG Road Ghitorni, Near Metro Pillar No 127, New Delhi — 110030. Monday–Saturday 10am–8pm, Sunday by appointment. Bring your room dimensions and our design team will work out the exact configuration for you.

Why is German Okin motor better than other recliner motors?+

Okin motors are rated for 10+ years of daily use vs 2–4 years for generic motors. They operate near-silently (critical for home theatre), ramp up smoothly without jerking, and have replaceable parts with serviceable units. Sky Recliners is the only Indian recliner manufacturer consistently using Okin motors across its range — the same motor found in European luxury and medical-grade recliners.

What accessories can I add to my recliner?+

Available accessories: LED cup holder (illuminated, dims during movies), USB charging port, fold-out tray table, storage compartment, chiller unit (keeps drinks cold, built into console), ambient under-lighting, and motor controls built into console. In Console layout, cup holder, USB, tray and storage are included in the 12" console unit between every seat pair.

What is a Theatre Bed and how is it different?+

A Theatre Bed reclines to a fully flat 180° sleeping position. It uses a triple motor configuration — independent control of backrest, footrest, and headrest — allowing any angle from upright cinema seating to a completely flat bed. Ideal for rooms that double as guest spaces or for users who want to lie completely flat during viewing. Same German Okin motor technology as Sky Recliners' standard range.

What are the most common mistakes when buying a home theatre recliner?+

The 3 biggest: (1) Measuring only upright depth (39") and not reclined depth (67") — the recliner hits the back wall. (2) Choosing Console layout without checking room width — a 4-seat console needs 143" vs 123.5" for Shared Arm. (3) Choosing Love Seat with an odd seat count — Love Seat only works with 2, 4, or 6 seats. Other common mistakes: no raised platform for the second row, fabric in non-AC rooms, not requesting reinforced frame for users over 100 kg.

How do I maintain and clean my recliner?+

Leatherette: wipe with damp cloth, mild soap monthly. Avoid alcohol cleaners. Full Italian Leather: dry dust-off daily, leather conditioner monthly, avoid direct sunlight. Fabric: vacuum lightly, spot-clean with upholstery spray. Motor: run through a full cycle monthly, keep path clear of objects. Annual check for loose bolts on the mechanism. Sky Recliners' service team handles all motor and mechanism work under the 5-year warranty.

How do I place an order and what happens after?+

WhatsApp your room dimensions to +91 97171 94797 — the team calculates your exact layout formula and confirms the fit within 4 hours. Then choose material, colour, motor type and accessories. Production begins after order confirmation and advance payment. Standard delivery: 15–20 working days. Complex builds: 25–30 days. Delivery and installation are included. EMI available through major credit cards.

How does Sky Recliners compare to imported recliner brands?+

Sky Recliners manufactures in its own Delhi atelier — factory-direct pricing with no import or distributor margin. Imported brands typically carry 2–4× markup before reaching the customer. Sky Recliners offers genuine bespoke customisation (size, material, motor, accessories) vs fixed imported SKUs. The 5-year frame + 2-year Okin motor warranty with on-site service outperforms the typical 1-year carry-in warranty of imported brands. For a 4-seat home theatre setup, Sky Recliners typically costs 40–60% less than equivalent imported options.
