Factors That Influence Sectional Costs
When purchasing a sectional, several factors contribute to the overall cost. Understanding these elements will help you make informed decisions based on your budget and preferences.
1. Sizes & Configuration
The size and shape of your sectional significantly impact its cost. Larger and more complex configurations require more materials and labour, leading to higher prices. La-Z-Boy offers a variety of configurations to suit different spaces:
- L-Shape: Ideal for large living rooms or open areas with ample wall space. The extended arm offers plenty of seating for families or gatherings, making it a popular choice for those with spacious homes.
- U-Shape: Perfect for square or awkwardly shaped rooms. This configuration creates a cozy environment and works well in family rooms or finished basements.
- Chaise Sectionals: A compact option for smaller spaces. These designs combine the comfort of a sofa with a chaise lounge, maximizing functionality in limited areas.
- Curved Cuddle Corners: Adds a touch of elegance while creating an intimate seating arrangement. These are excellent for fostering conversation and fit well in medium-sized spaces.
Each additional seating module or unique design feature, such as a built-in console, increases the overall cost.
2. Fabric & Leather Options
The upholstery you choose has a major impact on the look, feel, and price of your recliner. La-Z-Boy provides a wide selection of fabric and leather options, including performance fabrics like iClean, which repel stains and offer superior durability.
Leather and specialty fabrics, such as pet-friendly or antimicrobial materials, come at a premium but add significant long-term value. Ultimately, higher-grade materials increase the recliner’s cost, but they also enhance its style and durability, making the upgrade worthwhile for many customers.

3. Optional Finishes & Features
La-Z-Boy allows for numerous customizations to match your home decor perfectly. You can personalize the wood finish or add contrasting welt trim for a unique aesthetic.
Custom handles for manual recliners or tailored hand wands for power recliners can also be modified, ensuring that your recliner is as functional as it is stylish. These additional features, while convenient and visually appealing, contribute to the overall price of your recliner.
As La-Z-Boy continues to innovate, customers are offered options that seamlessly blend form and function, elevating the recliner’s sophistication and utility.

4. Stationary and Reclining Options
The choice between stationary and reclining is a huge cost difference. Stationary options will almost always be less expensive than reclining furniture, depending on the sectional configuration chosen.

Power recliners have advanced mechanisms that allow effortless reclining, adjustable headrests, and built-in USB ports. The technology behind power recliners not only adds luxury but also increases their price, making them a favourite for those who prioritize convenience and mobility.

5. Warranty & Protection Plans
When investing in a recliner, it’s essential to consider protection plans. La-Z-Boy recliners come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering the frame and mechanical parts, but some customers opt for extended warranties to safeguard their purchase.
These comprehensive plans cover accidental damage and offer peace of mind for up to five years. Considering the cost of repairs or replacements, investing in a warranty plan can be a smart choice, especially for high-use pieces of furniture.
La-Z-Boy also has a 5-Year Protection Plan that comes at an extra cost.
6. Delivery & Assembly
Finally, delivery and assembly services are an additional cost to consider. La-Z-Boy’s white-glove delivery service ensures your recliner is set up perfectly in your home, including assembly and even rearranging existing furniture if necessary.
In Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston this service starts at $129.99, with additional charges for long-distance delivery or furniture disposal. These services offer convenience, but they also add to the overall expense of your purchase. For many, the peace of mind provided by professional delivery and setup is well worth the added cost, making the experience entirely stress-free.
