About the Draper Furniture Family

Now that we’re familiar with the different furniture frames within the Draper family let’s discuss Draper’s unique features.

As mentioned before, the Draper is a contemporary and modern furniture family that exudes both modern angles and a sophisticated look of fine leather. These two features blend beautifully together and create an overall neat look to its appearance.

The Draper also features a T-shaped cushion design and box-border seats, which adds to the angular approach given to this furniture family. Its sleek inverted track arms add a contemporary look to this inviting lounging spot, which resembles the key-shaped arms on the Bexley Furniture Family. 

Jenna says that the back cushions of the Draper offer extra lumbar support, with its channelled upper cushion surrounding the lower back cushion, almost like an upside-down U.

She also explains that she's seen people not only put this furniture family in living rooms but home offices. "It definitely  has a formal look to it, and the fact that its leather selections are neutral, adds a certain sophistication for a comfortable seating experience."

Given the size, the Draper is known to be a little bit bulkier than other furniture families at La-Z-Boy. Because of this, a smaller space may not be suitable for this furniture to shine.

What's more, the Draper is meant to seat those of average height. Because of this, anyone with an average height will be best complemented by the Draper.

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. 

This is why we highly recommend coming in-store and taking a sit test to determine if the Draper is right for your unique body type. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find the Right Sofa Size For You?

The Draper is available as a chair, loveseat, a sofa, a sectional and an ottoman.

Draper Furniture Family Options & Upgrades

There are plenty of options and upgrades to choose from when looking at Draper’s options and upgrades. However, it is important to remember that all options and upgrades come at an additional cost, meaning the price of your Draper furniture is subject to increase. 

Upholstery Cover Options

When selecting the fabric or leather for your Draper, 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 Draper is also available in specialty fabrics and leathers 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, Draper 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. 

Wood Leg Finish Options

Finally, Draper’s wood leg finish can also be customized. Any Draper furniture item comes in one of three finish options:

1. Mahogany (Base Price)
2. Coffee (Additional Cost)
3. Graphite (Additional Cost)

Draper Furniture Family Cost

In terms of cost, Racha notes that Draper furniture products fall within the mid-high price range at La-Z-Boy. 

This higher price tag is because it only comes in leather which is more expensive than fabric selections. Therefore you may be spending more than expected on Draper furniture. 

While the cost of the Draper furniture is considered above average at La-Z-Boy, it is also important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered more expensive than mid-market furniture costs. Our products’ quality of materials and craftsmanship dictate this cost.

*All La-Z-Boy prices listed in this article are subject to change. We aim to update all cost-related articles twice per year. This article was last updated on January 22nd, 2025. Contact your local Ottawa, Gatineau or Kingston location by phone or in person for up-to-date pricing.
