To break down your Thomas Payne Theater Seating, like part # 195-018-019-020, you need to first disconnect the wiring for the heat and massage. You should be able to find these tucked in the cushions but be sure to unplug the unit from the wall outlet first.

Once the wiring is disconnected you can lift either end of the sofa off of the piece next to it. There are some tabs that fit into brackets on the side of each section which keeps them connected.

To remove the back off of each seat you need to lift up the back flap of the seat and then pull the tabs on the metal brackets (on both sides) inwards while lifting up on the backrest. It is easiest to do with a screwdriver and 2 people but 1 person can still accomplish this. It may also be easier to do this by flipping the recliner upside down.
