What is the Standard Cost for a Recliner Chair?

On average, a recliner chair costs between $700 and $3,000, depending on quality, features, and brand. Recliners at the lower end of this range are often mass-produced with limited customization and basic cushioning. Higher-priced recliners typically offer stronger frames, better support systems, and more durable upholstery.

La-Z-Boy recliners usually fall within the mid-range to premium category. This pricing reflects a focus on long-term comfort, ergonomic engineering, and customization rather than one-size-fits-all seating. While the upfront cost may be higher than big-box alternatives, many customers find the investment worthwhile due to comfort retention and product lifespan.

Factors That Affect the Cost of a Recliner

Several industry-wide factors influence the cost of a recliner. According to Tim Young, a Design Consultant at La-Z-Boy Hunt Club, recliner pricing is driven by both visible features and internal construction that customers may not immediately notice.

1. Size and Shape

The size and shape of a recliner are more significant than you might think. "At La-Z-Boy, we offer recliners in petite, small, tall, and extra-tall sizes to accommodate every body type comfortably," Tim says.

Larger or taller recliners require more materials, reinforced frames, and additional labour during construction. Each size is also engineered to maintain proper lumbar support and reclining balance, which adds complexity to production. Choosing the correct size improves comfort, reduces pressure points, and helps ensure the recliner performs well over time.

2. Fabric and Leather Options

Upholstery is one of the most noticeable cost factors when selecting a recliner. Standard fabric options are generally the most affordable and come in a wide variety of colours and textures.

Upgraded materials such as performance fabrics, including stain-resistant options like iClean, add durability and ease of maintenance. Leather and specialty fabrics, including pet-friendly or antimicrobial materials, increase the overall cost but provide long-term value through durability and appearance retention. Higher-grade upholstery also tends to age better with daily use.

3. Custom Finishes and Design Details

Customization allows a recliner to blend seamlessly with your existing furniture and décor. Optional design features include decorative wood finishes, contrasting welt trim, and customized recliner handles or power controls.

While these details may seem subtle, they require additional craftsmanship and production steps. These upgrades increase the final price but allow homeowners to create a recliner that feels intentional and tailored rather than generic.

4. Manual vs Power Recliners

The choice between a manual recliner and a power recliner has a significant impact on price.

Manual recliners rely on mechanical systems that are simple, reliable, and cost-effective. Power recliners, on the other hand, use electric motors and advanced components that allow for smoother reclining, adjustable headrests, and built-in USB charging ports.

Power recliners are more expensive due to the added technology and engineering, but they are often preferred by customers who value convenience, accessibility, or limited mobility support.

5. Warranty and Protection Plans

La-Z-Boy recliners include a Limited Lifetime Warranty that covers the frame and mechanical components. Many customers choose to add an extended protection plan for additional coverage.

Optional protection plans cover accidental damage and everyday wear for up to five years. While this increases the initial cost, it can help reduce unexpected repair expenses over time, especially for households where the recliner is used daily.

La-Z-Boy also has a 5-Year Protection Plan that can help extend your warranty for 5 years.

6. Delivery and Assembly

Professional delivery is another cost consideration when purchasing a recliner. In the Ottawa area, white-glove delivery services start at $129.99.

This service includes in-home placement, assembly, and setup to ensure the recliner functions properly. Additional charges may apply for long-distance delivery or furniture removal. Many customers find professional delivery worthwhile because it eliminates the stress of transportation and setup.
