Tips for Choosing the Right La-Z-Boy Recliner

Choosing a recliner is about matching your comfort preferences, lifestyle, and space. These easy tips will help you find the perfect fit:

1. Think About How You Like to Relax

Do you enjoy gentle motion? Consider a rocking or swivel-gliding recliner. Want to sit straight and then slowly recline? A traditional reclining model may be best.

2. Consider Your Space

If your room is tight, go for a wall (space-saving) recliner, which doesn't need as much room behind it to fully recline. If you want mobility and flexibility, a swivel gliding recliner lets you rotate and glide comfortably.

3. Power vs. Manual

Power recliners let you adjust position with the touch of a button — great for effortless comfort and precise positioning. Manual recliners are simple, dependable, and don't require plugs or motors.

4. Mobility Needs Matter

If standing up is becoming harder, a lift recliner gently raises you into a standing position, offering extra support and peace of mind.

5. Match to Your Daily Life

Think about who will use it most. Families with kids might prefer durable, easy-to-clean fabrics and classic mechanisms, while someone who loves tech and convenience might lean toward powered models.

6. Sit in It Before You Decide

Everyone feels comfort differently. Spend time in the recliner to test back support, legrest comfort, and ease of use before you buy.

Bottom Line:

Choose a recliner that fits your space, matches how you relax, and supports how you move. With La-Z-Boy's variety of styles and mechanisms, there's a perfect seat for nearly every lifestyle.
