About the Finley Furniture Family

With a tall back, narrow arm, and taut upholstery, the Finley gives off a clean and modern appeal while still providing exceptional comfort and lumbar support. Not to mention, Finley products allow you to recline back with ease, in both power and manual options.

The tall foam back contributes to the structured look of the pieces, while Magaly notes that the seat is deep yet high. 

While you can sink back into the comfortable depth of the Finley seat, its unique height prevents you from fully sinking in like you would with other recliners or sofas.

Magaly describes the Finley as “a little bit more modern than the typical La-Z-Boy recliner”. She says that the Finley would fit seamlessly into any contemporary, modern, or transitionally styled room. 

According to Magaly, the Finley furniture family boasts a sleek and compact design, far from being bulky. Its crisp and clean appearance adds to its overall appeal. 

The tall back and high seat make it the perfect choice for individuals of average to tall height, providing exceptional comfort for those between 5'4" and 6'2".

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 coming in for a sit test to see if you think the Finley is comfortable for your body type. To learn more, take a look at How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.

The Finley is available as a Rocking Recliner, a Wall Recliner, a Reclining Loveseat, and a Reclining Sofa.

Finley Furniture Family Options & Upgrades

Compared to other La-Z-Boy furniture families, Finley has plenty of customization options to choose from. Keep in mind that the cost of the Finley furniture will increase with your selection of options and upgrades.  

Upholstery Cover Options

When selecting the fabric or leather for your Finley , 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 Finley is also available in specialty fabrics and leathers 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, Finley 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 Finley 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.

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest & Lumbar Support

You can upgrade the Finley 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.

Console Upgrade (Loveseat)

The Finley Loveseat has the option to include a console in the middle of the seat. This handy center console adds extra storage. 

Cup holders are also included, meaning you can sit back and relax without getting up to grab a drink. Further, the console offers an interior electronic charging input instead of the ports outside the loveseat, as well as a light-up function, so you can easily see your drinks in the dark.

Finley Furniture Family Cost

In terms of cost, the Finley furniture products fall within the mid-price range at La-Z-Boy.

While the cost of the Finley furniture is considered quite 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 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.

Is the Finley Furniture Family Right For You?

The Finley Recliner, Loveseat, and Sofa are all great products, but are they right for you?

According to Magaly, the Finley products are best suited for the “modern or stylish” family. In fact, the Finley products might be the perfect choice for clients who are looking for a recliner, that doesn’t necessarily look like a recliner.

With the Finley, style nor comfort has to be sacrificed. It is the perfect compromise for clients who want to achieve a modern and streamlined look while still being able to kick up their feet and relax.

She says that if you are re-doing your family room, getting rid of old clunky furniture, and going for a more updated and contemporary look, the Finley will fit seamlessly into your vision.
