About the Paxton Sectional
The are many unique features to the Paxton Sectional.
The Paxton sectional delivers simple style elements like wide track arms, a t-cushion, decorative wood legs, and crisp welt trim. It is also a comfortably casual sectional with extra deep seats and one of our only sectionals to feature a double chaise, which is perfect for an afternoon nap.
“It looks just as good from the back as it does the front,” describes Michelle. This is because it has a low profile with a fully padded outside back, arms and front post. For this reason, you could easily float the sectional in a room and place it off the wall.
“As the sectional with the deepest seat, there is ample room to raise your legs and curl up to watch TV,” says Michelle. She further explains the Paxton sectional is best suited for a casual family room. Also, it has a clean look and classic design that won’t go out of style.
The Paxton is also built with Premier Construction, which you can learn more about with this article.
Not only does the Paxton come as a sectional, but it is also part of its own furniture family at La-Z-Boy, which includes a Chair & a Half, a Loveseat, a sofa and an Ottoman. You can learn all about the Paxton Furniture Family with this article.

The Paxton sectional consists of multiple modular pieces, including armless chairs, chaises, and corner sections, allowing for flexible configurations that suit a variety of room sizes.
Based on its dimensions, the Paxton Sectional is a good fit for most average to taller-height individuals. It possesses an extra deep seat at 42 inches, thus short legs will dangle. Anyone with difficulty standing up from a seated position or mobility issues could find the very deep seat challenging.
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 Riley is right for your unique body type. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find a Sofa That is The Best Fit For You.

Paxton Sectional Options & Upgrades
The Paxton 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 Paxton, 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 Paxton 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, Paxton 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.
Pillow Options
The Paxton loveseat and sofa come with pillows, which means you can customize those as well. You can accessorize your pillows by adding an accent colour to them, as well as contrasting welt, cording or fringe.
If you want to get specific, you can also request feather padding for your pillows instead of the usual foam padding.
Wood Leg Finish Options
La-Z-Boy is all about customization, including customizing the legs of your furniture. Paxton’s legs can come in one of 4 finish options:
- Brown Mahogany (Standard Finish)
- Coffee (Additional Cost)
- Graphite (Additional Cost)
- Driftwood (Additional Cost)
Paxton Sectional Cost
The cost of the Paxton sectional is in the mid-high range of the sectionals now available on the market.
The quality of materials used in construction and customization options is the main reason for the higher price bracket.
The starting cost of the Paxton Sectional, in its smallest configuration with select fabrics, is $5,499. Subsequently, the cost increases depending on the number of seats/modules, different covers chosen, and other selected options.

Is the Paxton Sectional Right For You?
There is no question that the Paxton Sectional is a beautiful piece of furniture. But is it right for you?
Paxton’s laid-back look is an open invitation to relax. If this style speaks to you, you likely approach space with a wonderful mix of passion and purpose. The Paxton sectional will be right at home if you are looking to create a beautiful space meant to feel lived in.
A feature loved by Paxton owners is the lower armrest that does not extend the length of the sofa. It can make the room look more open and works well in small spaces, or if you’re worried that taller arms will block the view of a window or other feature.
The shape of the Paxton’s arm would not be ideal for someone looking for maximum arm support and cushioning or prefers a more formal style provided by a tall arm.
Although the cushions of the Paxton Sectional offer firm support, the sheer size of the deep, wide bucket seat can cause a sinking feeling. As Rachel describes in her review above, Paxton’s deep seats are “the fall into a cozy kind” which might not be the right experience for everyone.
Some clients have expressed that the seat cushion is too soft, especially for the oversized chaise, and that cushion piping does not remain straight. In this case, the more structured single-cushion deep seat of the Meyer Sofa with a similar silhouette might be more comfortable.
Moreover, before you commit to a stationary sectional, you may want to explore one with reclining capabilities. Although the deep bucket seats of the Paxton are ideal for curling up on, some clients may wish to kick their feet up on a footrest and lay back instead.
What's Next?
It’s incredible how the right furniture can bring everything and everyone together. But buying furniture is a significant investment. If your goal is to make your next purchase a staple in your home, you’ll want to make sure you make the right choice.
If you’re ready to surrender to the Paxton's call to curl up and get cozy, visit one of our La-Z-Boy Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston locations. You can also schedule a visit online with one of our design consultants to start tailoring a sectional that is just right for you!
