HT Design Surround Contemporary Home Theater Seating
The Surround is designed for modern media rooms where comfort and sound performance matter. Its lower starting back helps keep the sound field open for Dolby Atmos and surround-sound systems, while the motorized headrest raises when you want additional head and neck support. Power recline, power headrest and power adjustable mechanical lumbar provide three-way powered comfort, and the wall-hugger mechanism needs only about 1 inch behind the seat.
Power Comfort & Premium Theater Features
Surround combines HT Design Top Grain Leather 12000 with a contemporary bench-seat design, memory-foam cushioning, three-way power comfort, premium construction and an almost-zero-clearance wall-hugger mechanism.
PREMIUM TOP GRAIN LEATHER
Top Grain Leather 12000 from U.S. Bovine Hides
Surround seating is upholstered in smooth HT Design Top Grain Leather 12000, selected for a soft hand, consistent appearance and long-term durability in a dedicated theater or media room.
The approximately 1.2 mm leather is engineered for regular home theater use and tested for rubbing, moisture, tearing and repeated flexing.

Power Recline, Headrest & Mechanical Lumbar
Surround brings three-way power comfort to a true space-saver footprint. Adjust recline, raise the power headrest for screen viewing and fine-tune lower-back support with power adjustable mechanical lumbar.
Storage Arms & Black Gloss Tray Tables
Hidden in-arm storage keeps remotes and theater accessories out of sight, while included black gloss tray tables provide a convenient surface for snacks, drinks and devices.
7-Color LED Controls with Memory
Use the cupholder-mounted controls for power positioning, memory and lighting. Choose from seven LED colors, adjust brightness, or turn the cupholder and base lighting completely off when you want a dark theater.
Premium Seat Construction
Inside the Surround, pocketed spring coils, high-density cushioning, kiln-dried hardwood framing, Leggett & Platt reclining hardware and the Okin power actuator work together for durable support and smooth powered motion.

Straight & Curved Row Configurations
Surround is available in straight and curved rows, loveseats, sofas and larger multi-seat layouts, giving you flexibility when planning around room width, screen position and surround-sound speaker placement.
TOP-MOUNTED CUPHOLDER CONTROLS
More Controls, Right Where Your Hand Naturally Rests
Surround puts the main powered functions into the cupholder area instead of hiding buttons low on the inside of the arm.
Power recline, power headrest, power mechanical lumbar, lighting, memory are grouped together in one easy-to-reach location.
The illuminated cupholder controls are easier to find in a dark theater, while the integrated charging port remains accessible from the top of the arm.
Three Power Adjustments
Control recline, headrest and mechanical lumbar support independently from the cupholder area.
Memory Controls
Save a preferred powered seating position for easier repeat adjustment.
7-Color LED Lighting
Choose from seven cupholder and base-light colors, adjust brightness with three-level dimming, or turn the LED lighting completely off.
