Ergonomics

Why the Backrest Matters

Seat comfort is not one-size-fits-all. Backrest geometry determines spinal alignment, pressure distribution, and long-term comfort—making it the most important choice when specifying theater seating.

  • Supports natural spinal alignment

  • Influences seat pitch and posture

  • Determines comfort over extended viewing sessions

Premium Comfort

The Signature Support Backrest

The Signature Support Backrest (Backrest 1) is the only profile in the Elite range developed in direct collaboration with chiropractor Dr. Grant O'Neill. Shaped around the principles of spinal alignment and extended viewing comfort, it is the recommended choice for buyers who prioritize ergonomic support above all else.

  • Purpose-shaped lumbar and thoracic zones

  • Balanced recline angles for cinema posture

  • High-resilience ergonomic foam for lasting support
