Are you looking for a reclining chair with style and comfort?

Racha Pharaon, a design consultant at La-Z-Boy Hunt Club, says what makes the Addison unique is that “it looks just like a stationary chair but has the ability to recline.” She adds, “the Addison has a very classic look.”

The Addison Recliner is a great choice but is it the right choice for you?

Unique Features of the Addison Recliner

With its tall back and stylish looks, the Addison Recliner brings together the best of both worlds. 

The Addison has the clean lines, rolled arms, and welt trim of a sophisticated stationary chair. But, this look is enhanced with the comfort of a recliner. 

Speaking of comfort, the Addison is built with high-grade foam seat cushions that maintain their comfort and appearance over time. A double-picked blown fiber fill improves the cushion loft and shape retention.

The Addison Recliner is available in a few different models:

Addison Wall Recliner - The wall recliner can recline mere inches from a wall. 

Addison Rocker Recliner - When you’re not reclining, it is a relaxing rocker recliner with a smooth, graceful motion.

Addison Glider Recliner - The glider recliner offers a gliding option. It provides all the same features as the rocker recliner but instead provides a smooth glide and swivel motion. 

Please note that the Addison Glider Recliner is only available in manual and not in power.

Size & Dimensions

The Addison Recliner is built on a small to medium scale, ideal for smaller spaces. While the Addison is petite, Racha reminds clients to consider how the width of the chair will fit in their space. It is crucial to measure your room in order to ensure that it will fit comfortably in your home.

Although the Addison has a tall back, it has a shallow seat. Generally speaking, the size of the Addison is recommended for those between the height of 5’4” 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. 

This is why we highly recommend coming in-store and taking a sit test to determine if the Addison is right for your unique body type. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.

Options & Upgrades

At La-Z-Boy, all upholstery furniture is customizable, including the Addison Recliner. 

You have the ability to make the Addison uniquely yours with a variety of options and upgrades. 

Fabric Options

First and foremost, the upholstery cover that you choose for your Addison Recliner greatly impacts its overall look and feel.

The Addison Recliner is offered in three select fabric collections: Mckittrick, Hobbs, and Becker, for a total of 15 colours. Amongst these three collections, there is a wide variety of colours and textures to choose from. 

The Addison is not offered in leather, but it is offered in select recycled leather options as well.

These select options are specifically chosen to complement the product’s unique look and particular frame. Further, the select fabrics offer the best value at starting prices.

*Please note that this article's leather or fabric options may be discontinued or unavailable without prior notice. We recommend contacting your local Ottawa 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.

In addition to the select cover options, at La-Z-Boy, we have over 800 fabric options. Within this wide selection of upholstery, the Addison Recliner is also offered in the following premium-grade specialty fabrics.

Cushion Upgrade

Raise the bar on comfort even higher by upgrading the seat cushions of your Addison Recliner.

Firmer seat options are available at an additional cost. For more information view our Motion Furniture Collection catalogue and our in-depth Review of La-Z-Boy’s Chair and Sofa Seat Cushions.

Please note that reclining furniture purchased prior to January 2021 had the option to upgrade to airform cushions.  This cushion includes a two-inch layer of premium quality memory foam added on top of the standard foam base within the seat, chaise and leg rest of the unit.

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.

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest

You can upgrade the Addison 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.

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. 

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.

Cost

The Addison Recliner falls within the mid-price range for a recliner at La-Z-Boy. 

While the cost of the Addison 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. 

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 May 12, 2023. Contact your local Ottawa or Kingston location by phone or in person for up-to-date pricing.

Warranty

Some product components within the Addison Recliner are covered by a La-Z-Boy limited lifetime warranty to ensure the protection and satisfaction of your investment. 

The Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the repair or replacement of the frame, spring systems, and the mechanism, given that they are quality-crafted and built for long-lasting comfort.

While still quality-crafted, other aspects of the product, such as fabrics, and cushions, are not meant to last a lifetime. These parts are still covered by the La-Z-Boy Manufacturer’s Warranty for a given period of time.

To further protect your purchase, La-Z-Boy offers an extended warranty plan at an additional cost.

Is the Addison Recliner Right for You?

According to Racha, the Addison Recliner is a great accent chair for a living room arrangement, a sitting room, an office, or a nursery. 

The Addison is ideal for someone who is looking for something more classic and traditional in style, says Racha. Alternatively, a client looking for an updated style might prefer one of La-Z-Boy’s Most Modern Recliners. 

Further, Racha says the Addison Recliner is perfect for someone looking for a sophisticated, stationary chair that also offers the ability to recline. The Addison fits the bill!

As previously mentioned, the dimensions of the Addison are ideal for shorter individuals between the heights of 5’4” to 5’9”. If you have a taller body type, you might find better comfort from one of the Best La-Z-Boy Recliners for Tall People. 

Finally, the Addison Recliner falls within the mid price range at La-Z-Boy. With this, the Addison is the right choice for someone looking to make an investment in a quality, comfortable, and stylish piece of furniture that will last them years to come.
