A loveseat is a charming and compact piece of furniture that is designed for two people to sit comfortably together. It provides a cozy and intimate seating option for various spaces, from living rooms to bedrooms.
What if your loveseat also had the ability to raise the footrest with a power feature? That's where the Colby duo® comes into play!
The Colby loveseat is one of the top 5 best selling loveseats at La-Z-Boy Ottawa & Kingston.
Racha Pharaon has been a design consultant at the Nepean La-Z-Boy location for 15 months. During this time, she’s noticed a lot of client interest in our Colby duo® furniture, particularly the loveseat.
She says people love the classic elegant look with an added hidden gem, the power footrest feature. And, she states that “it’s the most comfortable of all of the Duo’s furniture collection. The ideal firmness of the seat means no need to add an upgraded cushion!”
Read on for a detailed and comprehensive review of the Colby loveseat.
Unique Features
Part of our award-winning duo® series, the Colby duo® power loveseat features graceful rolled arms, decorative wood legs, padded outer arms, and a padded outer back. A duo® favourite, it has the unexpected power footrest so you can kick your fit up and relax.
Colby’s versatile frame can be dressed up for a formal setting or dressed more casually for a family room.
Dual controllers on the outside arms let you recline and raise the leg rests with ease, while built-in USB ports charge your devices. Patented ComfortCore® seat cushions provide optimum support for reading, relaxing, or watching TV.
The Colby duo® is also available as a chair, sofa and sectional. To learn more about this furniture family, read this article.
Size & Dimensions
The Colby loveseat is compact in size, making it a perfect fit for smaller spaces without sacrificing comfort or style.
Ultimately, to ensure that the Colby can fit in your space, be sure to measure your room.
Colby's deep seating cushions allow for a comfortable and sink-in experience, ensuring you can sit for extended periods without any discomfort. It is best suitable for individuals between the heights of 5'10" - 6'2", however, it also provides equal comfort to those with shorter stature.
While your height can be a considerable factor, it is important to note that height guidelines are NOT set in stone. The way you sit in a furniture item can drastically affect how someone might find a seat comfortable.
We recommend always coming in for a sit test to see if the Colby is comfortable for your body type. To learn more, take a look at How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.

The starting cost of the loveseat is $3,899.
Many variables make up the cost of a loveseat. The Colby is one of the more expensive options sold in the market and industry. It’s more costly than other loveseats because there is no manual option; it only comes in power.
The Colby loveseat’s higher price bracket can also be attributed to the higher quality of materials used in this loveseat’s construction.

“REALLY comfortable and good looking couch and love seat. These replaced the old leather ones. The size is great for my short wife. And the electric foot rest plus the cell phone charging outlet is very nice indeed. The hard working delivery guys had great attitudes and did a top notch job…just like the folks who built this fine furniture for us.” [sic] Mike P.
“My leather Colby Duo Reclining Loveseat is gorgeous (perfect color), comfortable (my feet touch the floor) and was delivered by four gentleman who took such good care of my walls carrying it up two flights of stairs. They wore masks and three of them left the house quickly after placing it upstairs while I completed looking it over and signing for its delivery.
Back in the 90’s I had purchased a La-Z-Boy sectional which was reasonably priced, great wearing material, comfortable, and of great quality. So when I wanted to buy a duo reclining loveseat, I only shopped at La-Z-Boy. The 12 months with no interest payment plan offered was a plus, also.”[sic} Cathy B.
“It’s great, comfortable, and our kids climb all over it. It’s become a nice little nook for us to unwind.” [sic] Neil T.
Racha had a customer who came into her store with her husband, and they tried all of our furniture. They ended up buying two Colby reclining loveseats and a sofa in leather for their livingroom and office. It was a sizable investment, but it was worth it to have both the comfort and the style to them.
