About the Astor Recliner
Racha succinctly describes the Astor Recliner as a “big boy”!
As our tallest recliner ever, the Astor features a deep, wide seat and comes standard with our tall base.
The tall pillow back of the Astor features three separate cushions that can adjust to your body’s contours. Moreover, the chaise seat and padded flared arms provide the ultimate comfort.
From seated to reclined, the structure and design of the Astor ensures comfort in all positions. Further, the mechanism within the chair allows you to ease in and out of the reclined position in a smooth and graceful motion.
The Astor is available in three styles: the Rocking Recliner and the Wall Recliner.
The Rocking recliner can move in a smooth and graceful motion while the wall recliner can fully recline while still being mere inches away from a wall.
In terms of size, this recliner is ideal and grouped for extra tall individuals at 6’3” and up. Racha explains that with its very high back and the size of the chaise seat, it is a go-to recliner for anyone with long legs. Their feet will be well supported and not hang over the edge, promoting excellent circulation.
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 Astor suits your body type. To learn more, take a look at How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.

Astor Recliner Options & Upgrades
At La-Z-Boy, everything is customizable, including the Astor Recliner. You can make customizations to the fabric, handle, base and cushion to make the chair uniquely yours.
Upholstery Cover Options
When selecting the fabric or leather for your Astor Recliner, 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.
For a comprehensive understanding of La-Z-Boy's upholstery grades, check out this article.
*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 Astor is also available in specialty fabrics 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, Astor 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.
Handle Options (Recliners)
To add more style to your La-Z-Boy manual recliner, you have the option to customize the length and material of the convenient reclining handle.
At an extra cost, you can opt to elongate the handle if you find it too short for your comfort.
Additionally, you can choose from a variety of materials for the handle, including wooden, brushed nickel, or matte black. The chrome handle can also be elongated, matching the wooden one in size.
What’s more, for all left-handed users, you can change your handle from the standard right side to the left. This also comes at an additional cost.
Optional Swivel Base
If you're interested, the Astor rocking recliner is available with a swivel base for an extra cost. La-Z-Boy's swivel bases provide a 360-degree rotation, allowing you to easily turn and face any direction.
You can also upgrade your swivel base into a power swivel recliner, which can swivel at the touch of a button. The power swivel base, however, only rotates 165 degrees to prevent the power cord from getting tangled within the furniture frame.
To learn more about our power swivel options, check out our review of our Swivel Power Recliners.
Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest & Lumbar Support
You can upgrade the Astor to power.
Unlike manual furniture that uses a handle or latch, power recliners come with a control panel or a wireless remote for easy reclining at the touch of a button. You can also adjust the headrest support with this convenient feature.
The adjustable headrest allows you to move the head of the recliner from 0-55 degrees, giving you more range of motion with your reclining positions.
You can also control the lower lumbar area of your recliner with the wireless remote. In this case, the lumbar support can expand 3 inches out or deflate to perfectly match the unique curvature of your lumbar spine.
What’s more, the recliners have USB ports next to the control panels to charge your electronic devices and two memory settings that allow you to save any of your favourite relaxing positions. This way, you can easily recline back to the position you favour quickly and accurately.
If you need help with learning about the controls, check out La-Z-Boy Power Furniture: How to Use the Control Panel & Remote.
All power upgrades can be cordless, thanks to our rechargeable battery pack. With this, you can place your power recliners anywhere without worrying about plugging them into an electrical outlet.

Power Lift Recliner Upgrade
One upgrade that sets the Astor apart from other furniture families is the ability to upgrade to a power lift recliner.
The Astor Platinum Power Lift Recliner features a handy remote that can help raise the recliner up or down from off the ground. The remote can be used to raise or lower the recliner, as well as adjust it to different reclining positions, making it easier for you to get in and out of the chair.
The seat and back move together in one smooth motion, eliminating gaps and providing full body support in all reclined positions. The power lift recliner also features a power tilt and independent back and leg rest motion.
It is important to note that lift recliners only come in fabric and not leather. To learn more about lift recliners, check out the article What to Expect When Shopping at La-Z-Boy for Elderly People or People with Mobility Issues.
Astor Recliner Cost
In terms of cost, the Astor Recliner is within the mid-higher price range at La-Z-Boy. This is mostly because of the larger build of the recliner, which requires more materials to make the frame.
While the cost of the Astor furniture is considered standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered more expensive on the market. This cost is reflected in our products' quality of materials and craftsmanship. With this, the investment tends to be worthwhile if you are looking for long-lasting furniture.
Please note that La-Z-Boy prices listed in this article are subject to change without notice. Information is current as of December 11th, 2024. Contact your local La-Z-Boy Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston stores by phone or in person for up-to-date pricing.

Astor Recliner Customer Reviews
This recliner currently has a 4.7 out of 5 rating in North America. Find out what customers are saying in the following five-star reviews.
So, now that you have a better understanding of the Astor recliner, you might be wondering if this recliner is the right item for you. To help you with your decision, here are some quick things to consider about this grand recliner.
To begin, this recliner is made for larger areas and people. If you’re furnishing an area with less space, the Astor might interfere with your other furniture, creating a traffic flow issue. This is why open-concept spaces are better for this recliner.
When it comes to the person, this is more subjective. Racha says, “Even though it is recommended for taller users, I’ve had short people love this chair because it allows them to have a space for their pets.”
So, depending on your seating preferences, the Astor could be right for you.
Lastly, when looking at the style of the Astor, it takes on a more contemporary look and can work well in rugged aesthetics. If you have an industrial-looking themed house, the darker colours of the select fabrics might do well in this environment, however, Racha says that the Astor can fit many different styles.
It is important to take note of the size of your pre-existing furniture. For example, if you have a sofa or loveseat that looks smaller than the Astor, it might make your living room look awkward and not cohesive.
If you do have larger furniture already, this recliner might be right for you.
