AMC Recliner Seats

[wvuwhat]

Does anyone know who makes the AMC recliners?

Took my dad to go see a movie last week and now he wants the exact same seats in his HT.

I'm the one who set it up in the first place. He opted to not go with dedicated HT recliners, but he's sold on these now.

Talked some family members into chipping in with me for a few seats for his 60th birthday, so price really isn't too much of a concern.

I have red electric recliners that I got from Value City Furniture. Pretty similar.

Ugh, there are far better seats available for the consumer out there.

I got mine at theaterseatstore.com

So many better seats then the thin pad ones. Here's just a quick example

Thanks for insulting my home theater furniture?

Uh, folks...he isn't talking about the thin pad seats. He is talking about, like the ones Hedji mentioned, of the plush red recliners. AMC has recently added all leather, electric seating that's pretty damn amazing and comfortable. The seats mentioned by Hedji are almost the same thing, but I believe AMC's may be a little more stiff/durable given the abuse they are designed to take. I'd look into "DREAM LOUNGE" recliners if you want the stiffness. VCF has got better seats over the years, so has Ashley/Front Room/etc, so don't think "cheap". I've had home theater leather seats from Front Room for 8 years and they are pretty much like new.

Here's an example of the AMC seats:



And here's VCF:

Last summer, while on vacation, we went to the AMC Santa Monica Promenade. Those were the most comfortable recliners I've ever experienced. Very plush, comfy, all the way around. Just like Groot posted. Highly recommended.

if thats the case and you aren't looking for super expensive like Fortress seats (top of the line and pricey), i recommend Roma from rtheaters.com I bought my Jives from him and i'm extremely happy with them and his service. His own thread w/ customer reviews and interactions are found here:

I don't know what yours are like, but I'm not a big fan of the AMC seats.

They're okay, but I don't like the way they recline, and I think many of the seats that you can buy would be better. Maybe your seats fit that description.

They have these in Las Vegas at the Cannery AMC theater. You'll never want to go another non-AMC theater again! So damn comfy! I almost fell asleep watching The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies!

Who didn't?

Those VCF's look a whole lot like Palliser's Elite line:

I've got Palliser seats and have been happy with them.

[wvuwhat]

So no one knows what they are?

My local Marcus Theatres has those exact seats. My good friend is the manager, I will ask her what company they used and get you guys the name of the chairs.

Pls do I love the AMC seats. If they could find their way into IMAX I'd be in heaven.

Have no idea who makes AMC's recliners, but if you want a high quality recliner, look no further than American Leather ! Their Comfort Recliner is top rate and they also make sofas, love seats, etc., as well. Expensive, but the quality of construction and materials is unparalleled. The furniture industry today is like so many other industries ... mostly junk with crap construction and poor material quality.

For my home theatre nothing beats my Graumans Chinese Theatre seats, that I then added the D-Box motion Platform to.

How do you "add" d-motion? Is it expensive? Does it ruin the seat or is it removable? I saw my first D-Box movie this summer with BVS. It was awesome.

[curtishd]

Yeah the AMC recliners are comfortable. It would be interesting to see who makes them. I have kids and I need something really durable.
