About the Casey Recliner

To begin, the Casey Recliner combines a contemporary furniture style with classic reclining comfort. The Casey features a streamlined look with modern lines and gently flared and rounded track arms.

It also features a multichambered back, which allows the user to sit properly in the middle of the recliner for optimal head and lumbar support. Simply use the convenient handle on the outside arm to recline effortlessly.

Nicole says that this is good for anyone who may need more support in their lower back area or for their neck.

As mentioned before, the Casey is built with a petite scale, meaning this recliner does not take up as much space as other available recliners. Nicole says that the Casey “is perfect for small condos, apartments, and other small spaces in general.”

It is also important that the size and dimensions of the recliner are right for your body type, providing the right amount of support. The Casey is most comfortable for shorter individuals between the heights of 5’4”- 5’9”.

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 that you visit a La-Z-Boy showroom and take the Casey for a sit test with the help of a La-Z-Boy design consultant. To learn more, check out our article on How to Find a Recliner that is the Best Fit For You?

The Casey is available as a Rocking Recliner and a Wall Recliner.

Casey Recliner Options & Upgrades

The Casey Recliner comes with a variety of options and upgrades to enhance your comfort and style; however, some of these upgrades will increase the base price of the recliner. 

Upholstery Cover Options

When selecting the fabric or leather for your Casey Recliner, 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.

*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 Casey is also available in specialty fabrics 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, Casey 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. 

Handle Options

To add more style to your La-Z-Boy manual recliner, you have the option to customize the length and material of the convenient reclining handle.

At an extra cost, you can opt to elongate the handle if you find it too short for your comfort. Additionally, you can choose from a variety of materials for the handle, including wooden, brushed nickel, or matte black. The chrome handle can also be elongated, matching the wooden one in size.

What’s more, for all left-handed users, you can change your handle from the standard right side to the left. This also comes at an additional cost.

Optional Swivel Base

If you're interested, the Casey rocking recliner is available with a swivel base for an extra cost. La-Z-Boy's swivel bases provide a 360-degree rotation, allowing you to easily turn and face any direction.

You can also upgrade your swivel base into a power swivel recliner, which can swivel at the touch of a button. The power swivel base, however, only rotates 165 degrees to prevent the power cord from getting tangled within the furniture frame.

To learn more about our power swivel options, check out our review of our Swivel Power Recliners.

Recliner Power Upgrade

You can upgrade the Casey Recliner to power. 

Unlike manual furniture that uses a handle or latch, power recliners come with a control panel or a wireless remote for easy reclining at the touch of a button. This way, you can easily recline back to the position you favour quickly and accurately. 

If you need help with learning about the controls, check out La-Z-Boy Power Furniture: How to Use the Control Panel & Remote. 

What’s more, the recliners have USB ports next to the control panels to charge your electronic devices. And, All power upgrades can be cordless, thanks to our rechargeable battery pack. With this, you can place your power recliners anywhere without worrying about plugging them into an electrical outlet.
