About the Pinnacle Recliner
Size and comfort are the main reason for its popularity and it’s comfortable without overpowering the room. It has rolled arms and continuous leg support. The Pinnacle was one of the very first chairs constructed with no gap between the recliner seat and the leg rest.
When not in a reclining position, the rocking and gliding recliner can rock and glide in a smooth and graceful movement that will keep you feeling relaxed. The Pinnacle Wall Recliner can be placed mere inches away from a wall while still being able to recline fully.
To learn more about the differences between a Rocking and Wall Recliner, as well as the differences between a Rocking and Gliding Recliner, take a look at these articles.
The Pinnacle has a relatively small scale while still being able to accommodate people in a broad range of sizes. Thirty-three inches across from outside arm to outside arm with a tall back 41 inches.
Further, the Pinnacle does not sit at a tall or short scale. Because of this, most users with an average height can sit comfortably, specifically those between the heights of 5 feet to 5’9”.
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.
Ultimately, we recommend always taking a sit test to see if the Pinnacle suits your body type. To learn more, take a look at How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.
The Pinnacle is available as a Rocking Recliner, a Wall Recliner, and a Gliding Recliner.

Pinnacle Recliner Options & Upgrades
The Pinnacle Recliner comes with a variety of options and upgrades to enhance your comfort and style:
Upholstery Cover Options
When selecting the fabric or leather for your Pinnacle 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 Pinnacle 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, Pinnacle 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
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 Pinnacle 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 Pinnacle 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 Pinnacle apart from other furniture families is the ability to upgrade to a power lift recliner.
The Pinnacle 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.
Pinnacle Recliner Cost
While the cost of the Pinnacle 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.

Is the Pinnacle Recliner Right for You?
Regarding functionality, The Pinnacle is an average seat that can be a versatile recliner. If you’re looking for a recliner with optimal comfort and support, the Pinnacle might be right.
However, reclining furniture may not be for everyone due to the size of the furniture and how it may complement your unique body type. Since the Pinnacle is puffy on the back and slim on the arms, this furniture family might be recommended for larger spaces and those with thinner arms.
Those who do not have an average height might risk feeling less comfortable when sitting on the Pinnacle. If you’re interested in Recliners for Short or Tall People, take a look at these articles.
Finally, when looking at the style of the Pinnacle, those who love a transitional look will benefit from this furniture family. As mentioned before, the Pinnacle does not fit just one specific furniture style. It has modern and traditional features, making it the perfect transitional style blend.
If you’re looking for more specific or niche furniture that is not broad, the Pinnacle might not be right for you. Instead, take a look at our article Traditional vs Contemporary, for ideas on what furniture could be right for you.
