At La-Z-Boy, we know that comfort is key when it comes to finding the perfect recliner, especially if you’re tall. Just like finding the right pair of shoes, the best recliner for you should be tailored to your height, body shape, and comfort preferences.
“A recliner that’s too small can cause discomfort, while a properly fitted recliner provides the full-body support you need for relaxing at home,” explains Kim Wade, the manager at La-Z-Boy Cyrville.
As the inventors of the reclining chair, La-Z-Boy offers a wide range of recliners specifically designed for taller individuals. If you’re over 5’10”, you’ll want a recliner with a deep seat, tall back, and ample legroom to ensure maximum comfort.
