Overview
Pillow Cinema is the home-cinema recliner that Poltrona Frau lists as a modular armchair. The product sheet, headed Poltrona Frau Style & Design Centre, 2024, calls it the company's response to changes in living spaces and to the growing habit of watching films at home. It is built around three motors and can stand alone or be combined into love seat and multi-seat layouts. The single armchair carries the code 5547141.

Construction
The frame is metal, with parts cut from birch plywood, and the arms mix solid beech with birch plywood. Coil springs carry the seat, which is padded with polyurethane foam of differing densities and polyester wadding. Beneath the armrest sits a textured black MDF plinth with protective felts. The armchair can stand freely or be fixed permanently to the floor. Upholstery is finished with tone-on-tone stitching.

Story
Cinema at home
The sheet describes the armchair as designed, in both form and technology, to bring "all the magic of cinema" into a house. The page calls it a superior home cinema experience and says it can be used alone or in compositions that begin with the love seat version.
Three independent movements
Three motors adjust the backrest, footrest and headrest separately. The keypad, in satin aluminium, sits in the inner side of the armchair, and its home key brings every element back to the starting position at once. Power comes from the mains or from a rechargeable battery, with a power supply or a battery charger bought according to the version.
Accessories and layouts
Optional extras are a cooling or heating drink holder with wireless charging, an armrest lamp with a USB-A charging station, and an over-armrest table in metal covered in Saddle Extra leather. The first two exist only on the mains-powered version. The drawings show the love seat, a 2-seater layout, three 3-seater layouts and two 4-seater layouts.
