Why you will love it

Dual motorised cinema recliner

Manhattan Seating lists the New Yorker Pro as dual motorised as standard. It says its chairs use a premium motorised recliner mechanism with an ultra quiet Stealth motor, and that power recline holds the chair at the angle you choose.

As you recline, the whole chair moves forward, so it can sit close to the back wall. The leg rest rises first. Manhattan Seating says several of its chairs offer dual motor options for positioning your head to see the screen.

Pro Series frame and seat

Manhattan Seating says its frames are hand made by skilled carpenters from solid wood, and that Pro Series recliners use heavier, commercial grade frames. The consoles are all wood, and the storage compartment lid uses soft close hinges.

Pro Series seat bases use a multi-gauge high tensile spring system with foam packs in three settings: soft, medium or firm. Manhattan Seating says the choice is at no extra cost.

Leather, microfibre and fabric

Manhattan Seating says it uses top grain leather only, with no split or reconstituted leather. It also offers vegan-friendly microfibre leathers and a range of fabrics, including suede, textured and velvet.

Its Muirhead leathers come directly from a tannery in Scotland and are available in 140 colours. Stitching is colour-matched as standard, with contrast stitching as a no cost option.
