April 17, 2025

Est. Reading Time: 8 Mins

Depending on where you live, you might know of a place called Brentwood. According to this Wikipedia page, there are over 20 places called Brentwood alone!

While this is interesting, what does it have to do with La-Z-Boy furniture? Well, Brentwood may be known for the name of multiple towns and cities, but it also shares a name with our very own Brentwood Chair.

The Brentwood High-Leg Recliner has been around for quite some time now and it has gotten a new revival thanks to some minor adjustments. But what makes this stylish furniture piece unique from other furniture frames at La-Z-Boy?

Key Takeaways:

  • Exceptional Comfort: The Brentwood Recliner is a fresh looking accent chair with the secret ability to recline.
  • Stylish Design: It features hallmark details of a mid-century modern design, as well as an unmatched style and welt trim from the border seat cushion.

  • Adjustable Features: Includes options for wood finish leg colours, as well as firm cushioning.
  • Durable Build: Made with Premier Construction for long-lasting use.

About the Brentwood High-Leg Recliner

S96g_BRENTWOOD_295-430_FL190784-1

The Brentwood High-Leg Recliner is a unique furniture piece distinct from our other high-leg recliners. Comparing it to similar pieces, it offers unmatched versatility.

With its button-tufting and dainty elegant legs, the Brentwood exudes a vintage charm, evoking a retro feel.

Furthermore, besides functioning as a stationary piece and offering the hidden ability to recline, the Brentwood can also come equipped with unique power controls and an exclusive design change, which we’ll elaborate on later.

The Brentwood features flared arms, welt trim that frames the box border seat cushions and double-picked blown fibre fill for improved shape retention.

To recline, simply push back on the arms of the chair to reveal the pop-up legrest hidden underneath the cushion.

Taking a look at Brentwood’s size, you can tell that this chair is large and in charge. Certainly not as large as some of our other chairs, but this high-leg recliner is one of the bigger selections on our floor. 

Due to its features, the Brentwood may not be as suitable for smaller spaces, depending on the existing furniture frames in your room. It might require slightly more space than other chairs to function optimally.

Further, the Brentwood also has a taller back which means those between the heights of 5’10” to 6’2” might enjoy this recliner more than others.

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 the Brentwood 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.

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, Brentwood 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.

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest

Should you find that pushing back on the recliner is too difficult for you, there is a power option for the Brentwood. 

The Brentwood Power High-Leg Recliner is not only still a secret recliner, but you can recline in multiple different positions at just the touch of a button. What's more, there is also a USB port on the control panel so you can charge your electronics.

What's more, you can also adjust the headrest of your Brentwood from a range of positions to help cradle your neck in comfort.

The power upgrade is great for anyone that has any mobility issues or a harder time pushing back on the recliner in general.

  • Graphite (Additional Cost)

Is the Brentwood High-Leg Recliner Right For You?

Now that you’re aware of what the Brentwood has to offer, is this the right reclining chair for you? 

Firstly, the Brentwood is a multifunctional piece of furniture. Given that it is a push-back recliner, you have the choice to use it however you see fit.

If you’re someone who cannot use too much strength for whatever reason, we recommend upgrading your frame to power, which can help you recline without using too much energy.

Further, the Brentwood is also versatile in style, being able to change leg designs to match a certain aesthetic. This is something no other furniture piece at La-Z-Boy can do!

However, the overall style of the Brentwood would be considered niche for some, given that it incorporates a lot of mid-century modern elements. If you’re not interested in this type of furniture, we recommend a similar high-leg recliner called the Rheeves.
