My new Fusion - Lagoon chairs from Roman - Page 7

Can you provide some room dimension and chair placement (plaform size, view distance from screen w/size) specs? Do you think your platform is at the minimum depth possible for those chairs?

Whereas the Lagoons that Roman has look more "soft/plush". I dont really want a firm chair and would prefer one that is plush however if you are not careful a cheap plush seat will collapse with team leaving you a chair with no support.

Also someone a while back here mentioned one of the other models did not contour the body well. When sitting in the chair does your lower back contact the seat all the way down or is there a gap near the bottom? Not a big deal but over time this could become uncomfortable.

The front row is 70 inches from the back row (cup holder to cup holder). There is about 3 inches clearance between rows in worst case (foreground of picture). The middleground and background seats are a more normal position. None of the seats have the headrest forward.

My front row is 117 inches away from my 120 wide 2.40:1 screen. This is my eye location while sitting in the seat. That is just under 1 screen width and very acceptable in my opinion for movies. To put the distance in relation to the chair its self, add 13 inches for the seat back in the upright position or add 20 inches for the seat fully reclined from the eye position.

Regarding your question on platform depth - If I were to do it again, I would have made the platform 78 inches deep. I remember BigmoutinDC stating that the min is 6ft 6in (78in) in the build forums (you listen to him). 72 inches will work as in my case, except the seat will not set against the platform.

Others:
Are people with the Escape and Lagoon also finding the full recline to need 7" back clearance?

Could someone with the Escapes measure the height of the footrest to the floor at full recline?

Thanks!

I don't like how low my feet hang on Coaster Showtimes, hoping these raise the feet higher relative to the seat cushion.

I'd like to request some pictures from the owners of each seat type.

1. Up close of leather (real and bonded)
2. Multiple close up views of person sitting, upright and reclined.
3. Seats fully reclined with no person sitting in them.
4. Person sitting in reclined escape with headrest up.
5. Person sitting in reclined tribute with headrest up.

Two more things:

Scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most comfortable seat you've ever sat in. What do you rate your seat?
Scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most FIRM seat you've ever sat in. What do you rate your seat?

Thanks in advance.

Its REALLY hard to purchase something of this cost without sitting in it first (as many of you already know).

I love the power head rests. I had 3 friends over last night to watch basketball thry were amazed at the headrests. They have never seen anything like it before. As to which ones are more comfortable only you can decide that. It is ofcourse hard to try out both chairs unless you go to the showroom or find people locally who have both. Also just because someone here says they tried both and like one better does not mean you will agree with their findings. I dont think you can go wrong with either one. I would buy the chairs with the features and style you like best.

Yes the configuration with the love seat in the middle can also be configured in a double loveseat setup. So in the middle there is a double armrest.

This works better for us because if you have people over our guests always sat in the middle and my wife and I on the outsides. This way the couples can sit together. For family nobody really cares who sits where.
