About the Collins Loveseat & Sofa

The Collins Sofa & Loveseat are a classic!

With simple lines and put-together tailoring, it is a style that looks good and feels better. It features semi-attached pillow backs, over-scaled roll arms, and box seat cushions with welted trim. 

The Collins is available in an array of high-quality fabrics of multiple colours and patterns as well as premium-grade leather options.

In addition to style options, this furniture piece offers exceptional comfort with patented ComfortCore® seat cushioning.

The Collins is also available as a sectional. To learn more about it read this article Review of the La-Z-Boy Collins Sectional.

Based on its dimensions, the Collins is a good fit for most average to taller height individuals. A shorter person may prefer a seat that isn’t as deep such as the Bexley sofa.

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. 

This is why we highly recommend coming in-store and taking a sit test to determine if the Collins is right for your unique body type. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find the Right Sofa Size For You?

Collins Loveseat & Sofa Options & Upgrades

When looking at Collins's options and upgrades, there are plenty to choose from. It is important to remember that all options and upgrades come at an additional cost, meaning the price of your furniture is subject to increase. 

Upholstery Cover Options

When selecting the fabric or leather for your Collins, the cost will vary based on the grade you choose. Select fabrics will not affect the starting price of your furniture, but anything beyond that will.

This includes select leather and anything inside our leather selections at La-Z-Boy.

*Please note that this article's leather or fabric options may be discontinued or unavailable without prior notice. We recommend contacting your local Ottawa, Gatineau or Kingston La-Z-Boy store by phone or in person to confirm availability. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by any changes to our upholstery selection.

Alongside our extensive range of covers, the Collins is also available in specialty fabrics and leathers that offer unique features and benefits…

• Stain Resistant: Innovative iClean Technology surrounds each fabric fibre, creating a barrier that repels spills before turning into stains.
• Pet Friendly: Tested and formulated to withstand the scratches and wear that a pet can cause to ensure a durable and easily washable fabric.
• Antimicrobial Fabric: Antimicrobial properties surround each fibre to protect against mould, mildew and odour-causing bacteria.
• Performance: Superior stain and fade resistance properties make fabrics easy to clean and incredibly durable.
• Eco-Friendly: Conserve Sustainable Fabrics are soft, durable and made from recycled water bottles.
• Energy Restoration: Restore by Nanobionic® features a mineral-based fabric coating that transforms natural body heat into energy using infrared technology.

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, Collins cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning, meaning over time, your furniture will remember your unique figure and enhance the comfort of your furniture. This could be a great option for people with mobility issues, allowing you to get in and out of your furniture more comfortably.

Pillow Options

The Collins loveseat and sofa come with pillows, which means you can customize those as well. You can accessorize your pillows by adding an accent colour to them, as well as contrasting welt, cording or fringe. 

If you want to get specific, you can also request feather padding for your pillows instead of the usual foam padding.

Collins Loveseat & Sofa Cost

The cost of the Collins falls within the mid-price range at La-Z-Boy. 

The starting cost of the Collins Sofa is $2,769, while the cost of the Collins Loveseat is $2,749.

While the cost of the Collins is considered quite standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered more expensive in the market. This cost is reflected in the quality of materials and craftsmanship of our products.

Is the Collins Sofa & Loveseat Right For You?

There is no question that the Collins is a beautiful piece of transitional furniture. But is it right for you?

Magaly says that the Collins is ideal for someone who is fairly tall, between the height of 5’10” and 6’2”. Someone at this height is likely looking for a deeper seat which they will find in the Collins. 

With this being said, Magaly says shorter clients may also enjoy the Collins if they intend to kick off their shoes and curl up into the depth of the seat. 

When it comes to style, the versatility of the Collins is great for a client who is looking for a furniture piece to work into a specific interior design style. By taking advantage of customization options, Magaly says the Collins can fit seamlessly into a client’s home décor vision. 

Although there are many positive customer reviews, the Collins may not be for everyone.

As previously mentioned, the Collins offers an updated version of a traditional sofa with the clean and sleek look of the flat-front rounded arm. 

With this being said, you may prefer something more modern. If this is the case, you may like the clean track arms of the Meyer Sofa. For a comparison of the Collins vs the Meyer, take a look at this article.
