What Makes a Recliner Popular?

While some homeowners prioritize back support, others focus on seat depth, ease of getting in and out, or overall style. A recliner that works perfectly for one person may feel completely different to someone else.

According to Vic, fit is one of the most overlooked factors when shopping for a recliner. "The most popular recliner isn't always the most comfortable one. The best recliner is the one that fits your body properly."

Many customers visiting our Ottawa, Gatineau, and Kingston showrooms are surprised to learn that factors like arm height, seat depth, lumbar support, and reclining position can dramatically affect long-term comfort.

That's why understanding the strengths and limitations of each recliner is so important before making a decision. To learn about How to Find the Right Recliner for You, take a look at this article.

1. Pinnacle Recliner

The Pinnacle Recliner is one of the most recognizable recliners in the La-Z-Boy lineup and remains a customer favourite year after year.

Its design combines a tall, pillowed back, rolled padded arms, and a full chaise seat that supports the body from head to toe. The result is a recliner that feels immediately comfortable and remains supportive during extended sitting.

According to Vic, the Pinnacle's broad appeal comes from its ability to accommodate a wide range of users. "A lot of older individuals love this piece, and it's great for shorter people too. The support is consistent, and people tend to feel comfortable in it right away."

Many homeowners visiting our Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston showrooms choose the Pinnacle for its excellent support without feeling overly bulky. It's also one of the more affordable leather recliner options available within the La-Z-Boy collection.

The Pinnacle is available as a rocking recliner, wall recliner, gliding recliner, and lift recliner, making it one of the most versatile furniture families in the lineup.

Clean track arms, modern lines, and a structured profile give the Finley a noticeably different appearance compared to more traditional La-Z-Boy recliners. Despite its sleek design, it still delivers the deep comfort La-Z-Boy is known for.

Vic says the Finley's versatility is one of the reasons it remains one of the best-selling recliners. "The fabric version looks very clean and modern, while the leather version adds detail through its vertical stitching. It works well in a lot of different homes."

Many homeowners in Ottawa, Gatineau, and Kingston choose the Finley because it blends into both contemporary and transitional spaces without drawing too much visual attention.

The Rowan Recliner proves that a smaller recliner doesn't have to sacrifice comfort. With its clean silhouette, flared arms, and compact footprint, the Rowan is one of the most popular choices for homeowners seeking a recliner that fits comfortably in tighter spaces.

While the Rowan is smaller than some traditional recliners, its flared arm design maximizes the usable seating area, making it feel larger than its dimensions suggest.

According to Vic, the Rowan often appeals to younger homeowners and growing families. "The Rowan is one of those recliners that can fit almost anywhere. It's especially popular for nurseries, smaller living rooms, and people who want something more contemporary."

Many families visiting our Ottawa and Gatineau showrooms choose the Rowan as a nursery recliner because it provides comfort without overwhelming the room. Its smaller scale also makes it a strong option for condos and apartments where floor space is limited.

Best suited for: Short to average-height individuals

The Trouper Recliner combines modern styling with some of the deepest comfort available in the La-Z-Boy lineup.

Its sculpted bucket seat, padded split back, and supportive lumbar area create a recliner designed for long periods of relaxation. While many recliners focus on either support or softness, the Trouper strikes a strong balance between the two.

Vic says the bucket seat is one of the biggest reasons customers gravitate toward the Trouper. "The comfort level is excellent. You really sink into the bucket seat, and the lumbar support is one of the strongest features people notice right away."

Many homeowners shopping at our Kingston and Ottawa locations choose the Trouper because it feels exceptionally supportive yet maintains a relatively streamlined appearance.

Best suited for: Average to taller individuals

Vic often recommends the Astor to customers who struggle to find recliners that fit their frames properly. "The Astor fills a gap for taller and larger individuals. Many people sit in it and immediately notice the difference in scale."
