When designing a living room, it’s essential to think beyond seating. While sofas and sectionals are typical choices, sometimes you need more versatility without taking up too much space. Whether you’re looking for extra seating or a comfortable place to rest your feet, an ottoman might be just what your living room needs.

According to Zeina Badawi, an interior designer at La-Z-Boy Kanata, "Ottomans are great for additional seating, leg rests, and even storage." But how much does an ottoman cost, especially one from La-Z-Boy? In this article, we'll explore the cost of ottomans both industry-wide and specifically at La-Z-Boy.

Cost of an Ottoman

In the broader furniture market, ottomans typically range from $400 to $700

However, at La-Z-Boy, where quality and craftsmanship are prioritized, ottomans are priced higher, ranging between $800 and $1,500. The increased price reflects La-Z-Boy's dedication to durable materials and timeless design.

Factors that Affect the Cost of an Ottoman

1. Quality of Materials & Craftsmanship

Higher-quality materials and detailed craftsmanship increase the cost of La-Z-Boy ottomans. However, this investment ensures your ottoman lasts longer, saving you money over time by reducing the need for replacements.

To learn more about the quality of the materials and craftsmanship, take a look at this article.

2. Size & Shape

The size and shape of an ottoman also affect its cost because it determines the number of materials required to make it. 

“If an ottoman is smaller, it will cost less. If it is bigger, it will cost more. Plain and simple,” Zeina says.

The shape of an ottoman is also reflected in the cost. Much like dining tables, round-shaped ottomans will be less expensive since fewer materials are used overall in constructing the furniture item.

3. Customization & Upgrades

Customization options, such as selecting a different upholstery or wood finish, can add to the cost. 

At La-Z-Boy, ottomans can be personalized with different fabric types, cushion densities, and even nailhead trims. These upgrades ensure your ottoman suits your home’s aesthetic perfectly but may come with additional charges.

4. Upholstery Options

La-Z-Boy offers more than 800 upholstery options, ranging from standard fabrics to premium leather. 

While select fabrics may not increase the price, opting for specialty fabrics such as stain-resistant or pet-friendly materials can raise the overall cost by $80 - $1,000 depending on the quality. 

Depending on the ottoman, some fabrics may not be available due to the construction of the furniture item. Zeina says to talk to a design consultant to ensure an ottoman can come in a certain cover you have your eye on.

If you opt for leather, this will likely increase the cost of your ottoman. For example, if you customize your La-Z-Boy ottoman in leather, expect a cost increase of $200 - $850

Custom features like contrasting welt trim and nailhead trims can also increase the cost of an ottoman at La-Z-Boy by around $100 to $150

Additionally, adding casters for mobility can add $70 to the price. Lastly, if you want a wood leg finish aside from the standard colour, an additional $70 will be added to the starting price of your ottoman.
