Bolt XS-400 – The unique split-back design of the Bolt XS-400 is designed to support your lumbar region for hours of movie watching pleasure. Extra padding in the headrest supports your head and neck, while a chaise-style footrest cradles your legs and feet. This gives you the ideal blend of comfort from head to toe. Optional power recline is built on an automotive seat motor that is designed to last for many years. The Bolt’s arms are thinner than most models, making it an ideal choice for small spaces or to add more seats per row. The arms widen at the top to hold full size cupholders for your favorite beverage. Like the Turbo, the Bolt is available in manual or power recline models covered with bonded or premium leather upholstery.

The Octane Seating brand is sure to be the go-to seat choice for many a home theater enthusiast.

Should you be afraid of motorized recline

One of the major fears anyone experiences buying theater seating today is the fear that the power recline motor will fail and render the seat useless.  It is the question I get asked more than any other single question when selling theater seating.

The motors used in furniture today are of the same quality and often source as the motors used in the power portion of your motor vehicle seat.  They are simple in design and perfected from a reliability perspective to the point where the only time we really ever encounter issues with them is generally straight out of the factory.  In an analysis we did two years ago, less than 1% of these motors failed. 

Added to the fact that they are reliable, is a manufactures warranty that covers the motors for 1-2 years, depending on the brand.  After that, most motors cost $75 to replace and installation is as easy as turning the seat over and pulling out the existing motor from a track and sliding in the replacement.  In 95% of the seats sold today this is the case and the only complicated replacements tend to occur in the very top end of the market.

If one is still nervous then my suggestion is to spend the extra $150 to buy the extended warranty plan which will cover any motor failure to 5 years and also add accidental damage coverage to the seat.  The accidental coverage will protect you against everyday mishaps like red wine or coffee stains and rips and tears.
