Ever heard of the saying “the bigger, the better?” For recliners, some people are looking for a great big recliner to sink into and enjoy relaxation to the fullest.

That’s why we look out for the little guy with our smaller recliners. Take the Collage Recliner, for example. Sandra El-Nounou, a design consultant at La-Z-Boy Kanata, tells us, “The Collage is a great recliner for any small person in your family.”

But you might wonder, is the Collage the right fit for my style and needs? This article will review the Collage as well as take a look at what other customers have to say about this furniture frame.

About the Collage Recliner

First thing first, let’s discuss some of the unique features of the Collage Recliner. 

The Collage Recliner is a family favourite that’s easy to love, according to Sandra. She notes that the main feature that stands out for this recliner is that it has a petite scale. In fact, it might be one of our smaller recliners currently in our showrooms.

The Collage recliner offers a modern take on traditional style, blending timeless comfort with a transitional design that seamlessly fits into any room. Its updated look and versatile design make it the perfect addition to any home.

The Collage features padded flared arms, a decorative pull in the back cushion, and a bullnose seat, meaning the edges are rounded.

The Collage is small in scale, meaning those looking for a recliner in a small space might have room for this size of chair. To learn more about Recliners for Small Spaces, take a look at this article.

We believe this recliner will best complement shorter people. Specifically, those between the heights of 5’4” and under may benefit from the Collage the most.

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 Collage 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 Collage is available as a Rocking Recliner and a Wall Recliner.

Collage Recliner Options & Upgrades

The Collage Recliner comes with a variety of options and upgrades to enhance your comfort and style:

Upholstery Cover Options

When selecting the fabric or leather for your Collage 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.

For a comprehensive understanding of La-Z-Boy's upholstery grades, check out this article. 

*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 Collage 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.
• Bleach Cleanable: These comfortable and resilient fabrics can withstand diluted bleach products for the toughest stains.

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, Collage 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 Collage 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 Collage 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.

Collage Recliner Cost

In terms of cost, Collage’s modern recliners fall within the low to mid-price range at La-Z-Boy. 

Sandra says this recliner is “a more budget-friendly option compared to other recliners.”

While the cost of the Collage is quite standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered expensive on the market. This cost is reflected in the quality of materials and craftsmanship of our products.

*Please note that La-Z-Boy prices listed in this article are subject to change without notice. Information is current as of January 22nd, 2025. Contact your local La-Z-Boy Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston stores by phone or in person for up-to-date pricing.

Is the Collage Recliner Right For You?

Now that you have all the information on the Collage Recliner, the question you might still be asking yourself is if this furniture product is right for you. 

Turning to functionality, this recliner is a little unique because it does not come in power. Most Recliners at La-Z-Boy have the option to become a Power Recliner. Sandra notes that some of our smaller recliners, unfortunately, do not have the option to upgrade to power.

If you are looking for a similar option to the Collage, Sandra recommends the Pinnacle Recliner, it has a small scale and is comparable in style. 

As mentioned, this recliner may be suited for a shorter scale. If you’re looking for a taller recliner, we recommend looking at our article Recliners for Tall People.

Sandra describes the style of the Collage recliner as transitional, allowing it to complement various settings. However, she suggests that its design may appeal more to an older demographic than a younger one.

“This recliner resembles a lot of traditional-looking recliners with a modern twist,” she says, “So because of that, and because it is so small, I could see a petite older woman purchasing this recliner.”

She also says that not just older women will enjoy the Collage. “I’ve seen all age ranges buy this recliner so it can work with anyone if you allow it to.”
