Author Topic: Theater Seats Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-05-1999 10:10 PM                        Who makes the comfiest theater seats?  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash. USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-06-1999 01:10 AM                     I've always liked the Massey high backed chairs. If you need seats, the College Tri Cinemas in Mount Vernon is being dismantled and there is about six different makes and models there. Some of them are very nice. The new owner of the building is going to throw them all away! Probably can get seats for free.  |  IP: Logged Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-27-2001 06:35 PM                        I like Premier Seating's Emissary model. It's so comfy and your rear won't scream at the end of or during the show! www.premierseating.com  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-27-2001 06:45 PM                     I went to a theater that had Mexican made seats, but cannot remember the name of the manufacturer. I want to say it started with a "M". Anyone familiar with these? They aren't regular back chairs, but aren't highbacks either and they did rock. They were extremely comfortable.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-27-2001 07:50 PM                     The biggest Mexican seat manufacture is Mobiliario. UA is using them now as are quite a few others. The most comfortable seats I have ever sat in are from a company from Columbia called Series International Seating. www.series.com.co  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-27-2001 08:35 PM                     The seats from the College Tri in Mount Vernon all went to the landfill. However, Cinema 5 in Mount Vernon still have some good seats remaining. They are Irwin Rockers and Citations. There is another brand there, but I cannot recall of they are Americans or Haywood Wakefields. I think Ken was speaking of the seats from Cinema 5. The College Tri went down the tubes about 2 years ago.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

They are also a great company to work with and the few problems our customers have had were taken care of by the factory immediately. We sell to schools and live theater as well and Seating Concepts has been very cooperative at supplying custom versions of their seats as well as samples They also have a standard 5 year warranty.

I sell many of them too...to theatres, home screening rooms and other venues! They have a deluxe chair that through audience tests actually comes close to the same comfort as the old deluxe Heywood Wakefield rocker! (That's a hard to beat chair!) I've sold Seating Concepts for over 17 years! Small orders / custom orders are never a problem!!! ------------------ John Eickhof President, Chief Slave Northwest Theatre Equipment Co., Inc.

They are very comfortable!  |  IP: Logged Rachel Carter Expert Film Handler Posts: 248 From: Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-28-2001 10:37 PM                     I agree with Andrew. I like the Premier Seating's Emissary model for a couple of reasons. They are comfortable, not too expensive, and very durable. If I were looking into new theater seats these would probably be what I'd get. *Although the Premier seats were not the most comfortable I have ever sat in, I don't know the name of the comfy seats. They were in the Showcase Cinemas in Revere, MA before they did the whole theater over. Low backed, really cushy, and they rocked.* ------------------ "Blood is thicker then blondes" - From the movie, Save the last Dance. FUNNY!!!!!  |  IP: Logged
