Est. Reading Time: 5 Mins

Do you currently own a La-Z-Boy recliner? If you do, you might know about how comfortable and relaxing these pieces are. After all, after over 95 years of making recliners for families over the years, we certainly would know a thing or two about making great reclining pieces.

There are many different types of reclining chairs. For example, a rocking recliner chair moves in a smooth and graceful motion in an arched position; there are also wall recliners that are great for small spaces since you can keep them close to a wall while still being able to fully recline in them.

However, there is a third option of recliners, as well. Can you guess which one we’re talking about today? If you guessed glider recliners, you’ve guessed correctly! 

At La-Z-Boy Ottawa, we sell glider recliners and swivel gliding chairs as well, but some of them have proven to be customer favourites over the years. Here are some of our best glider recliners and chairs at our furniture stores in Ottawa.

What is a Gliding Recliner?

Before we get into our list of top 5 gliding recliners, let’s discuss what a gliding recliner is. 

A gliding recliner is a type of chair that combines the features of a traditional recliner with the added functionality of a gentle gliding motion. 

It typically has a reclining backrest and a footrest that can be extended for added comfort. The gliding feature allows the chair to move back and forth in a smooth, gliding motion. 

This is not to be confused with a rocker recliner, which almost has the same functionalities as a gliding recliner chair but moves in more of an arch instead of a linear motion. Glider recliners also move with a swivel base, being able to move a full 360 degrees. To learn more about the difference between a Rocking and a Gliding Recliner, take a look at this article.

Gliding Recliners can come in various styles. At La-Z-Boy, there are many different types of recliners to choose from, including gliding recliners. However, our gliding recliner does not come in power. 

This type of chair is also often popular for nurseries or living rooms, providing a soothing and comfortable experience for individuals who enjoy the gentle quiet motion. To learn more about Top Chairs for Your Nursery, take a look at this article.

Let's now dive into our top glider chairs and recliners in Ottawa at La-Z-Boy.  

1. The Finley Glider Recliner

Up first is our ever-popular Finley Recliner. The Finley Glider Recliner in Ottawa fits the bill for a contemporary recliner that features modern lines, sleek track arms and a tall foam back that gives it a neat and structured look. 

The ultra-plush chaise seat and legrest cradle the body in a continuous zone of comfort. What’s more, it also swivels for a better motion experience. The Finley has proven to be a great recliner over the years, being almost in every top 5 recliner list, as well as being the best-selling recliner for 2023.

As with all gliding recliner chairs, the Finley does not come in power. The Finley glider recliner chair is also available as a rocker or wall recliner, as well as a reclining loveseat, and a sofa. You can learn more about the Finley Furniture Family with this article.

2. The Midtown Swivel Gliding Chair

The next gliding furniture piece on this list is not a recliner, but a swivel gliding chair, it’s the Midtown! With a streamlined design perfect for smaller spaces, the Midtown is the perfect furniture piece for any young family who’s looking for a place to snuggle up with their baby. 

The Midtown swivel gliding chair features a 360-degree swivel base that puts you at the center of all the action, while a gentle gliding motion helps you relax away a busy day. 

It also features great designer details, including a tight back, subtly curved track arms and sophisticated welt trim that will really move you.

The Midtown, along with most of our swivel gliding chairs, can be a great choice as a nursery gliding chair. You can learn more about the Midtown Swivel Gliding Chair with this article

3. The Harbor Town Glider Recliner

Next up is another gliding recliner in Ottawa that has a unique appearance. The Harbor Town Gliding Recliner Chair allows you to have the comfort of a recliner, with a lighter silhouette. This is thanks to its sleek, stylish frame that features exposed bentwood arms, topped with pillow-like padding on the top.

Because of this, the Harbor Town glider recliner is considered to be a transitional piece, being able to fit in almost any style of room. This glider recliner chair also features a channel-stitched back, a cushioned headrest and a 360-degree swivel base. 

The Harbor Town is also available as a rocking or a wall recliner. You can learn more about the Harbor Town Recliner with this article.

4. The Addison Glider Recliner

Another gliding recliner chair choice is the Addison glider recliner. The Addison holds a sophisticated approach to the recliner selection, featuring graceful clean lines, rolled arms and welt trim to add an accent to the piece if needed.

As with the rest of the recliners mentioned above, it too, also holds a 360-degree swivel base, for that extra range of motion that other recliners do not have. It is also great for those who are not very tall, particularly for individuals between the heights of 5’3” and under.

The Addison glider recliner chair is also available as a rocker or wall recliner. You can learn more about the Addison Recliner with this article.

5. The Ferndale Swivel Gliding Chair

Last but not least, we have the Ferndale swivel gliding chair in Ottawa, the second stationary pick on our list. In contrast to the Midtown, the Ferndale carries a more sleek approach to its overall appearance. 

The Ferndale swivel gliding chair features unique key-shaped arms and a slim, inset back cushion that gives its clean lines and a modern edge. There is also a solid wood base and tapered wood legs that hold this chair together, which adds sophistication to the piece, in its stationary selection.

The Ferndale’s stationary variation also has the unexpected ability to recline using the back of the frame. You can learn more about the Ferndale Chair with this article.
