Recliner chairs nowadays is widely used in home theatre as well as commercial cinema. They have many common factors to consider but also differences when choosing recliners.
For commercial movie theatre, you need to consider the comforts, functionality of the chairs but also think about what kind of reclining seats can fit more in the room. The more chairs fit the better based on the two considerations above. So you need to choose smaller size chairs on the bases of comforts when sitting on the chairs. How can the chairs smaller but also comfortable? To make the chair cozy, enough space of the seat cushion area is a must. So the only way is to make the armrests smaller. The seat cushion area can be 500-670mm for width. Armrests can be 100-200mm for width. Thus we suggest you choose a dimension of seat cushion according to people in your area, which make them feel good and relax. Then try to narrow the armrests width.

Besides, the button is with USB port.
