Trevor Taylor, a sales consultant at La-Z-Boy Kingston, has extensive experience helping customers find the perfect furniture for their homes. He particularly recommends the Trouper Sectional for its versatility in accommodating a broad range of sizes.

But what else should you know about the Trouper, and more importantly, is it the right reclining chair for you?

About the Trouper Sectional

The Trouper Sectional features an updated silhouette with slightly flared arms and a sleek tall back, giving it a contemporary look that fits well in modern homes. The sculpted bucket seat cradles you in softness, while the padded split back provides superb head and lumbar support. For added convenience, the handle on the outside arm raises the leg rest for reading, relaxing, or watching TV.

According to Trevor, the top stitching details are particularly noteworthy on this recliner. "When dressed in a faux leather fabric, you can see the exceptional patterns better than on regular fabric upholstery."

As for who might sit comfortably in this sectional, Trevor mentions the Trouper would most likely suit anyone of average to a taller height, specifically between the heights of 5’10 to 6’2”. “Everyone sits differently so this isn’t accurate,” he says.

It’s true! 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 Trouper is right for your unique body type. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.

The Trouper is also available as a rocking and wall recliner, and a reclining loveseat and sofa. To learn more about these furniture frames, take a look at their Recliner and Sofa review articles.

Trouper Sectional Options & Upgrades

The Trouper Sectional 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 Trouper Sectional, 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 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 Trouper is also available in specialty fabrics with 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, Trouper 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 & Lumbar Support

You can upgrade the Trouper 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. You can also adjust the headrest support with this convenient feature.

The adjustable headrest allows you to move the head of the recliner from 0-55 degrees, giving you more range of motion with your reclining positions.

You can also control the lower lumbar area of your recliner with the wireless remote. In this case, the lumbar support can expand 3 inches out or deflate to perfectly match the unique curvature of your lumbar spine.

What’s more, the recliners have USB ports next to the control panels to charge your electronic devices and two memory settings that allow you to save any of your favourite relaxing positions. This way, you can easily recline back to the position you favour quickly and accurately.

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.

Is the Trouper Sectional Right for You?

The Trouper Sectional is an excellent choice, but is it the right choice for you? To know this answer, you have to take a look at its functionality and style.

With its wide seat and tall back, this recliner is perfect for individuals of medium to tall stature, providing ample support and comfort. “Definitely a great choice if you’re the type to nap in your recliner,” says Trevor.

In terms of style, the Trouper’s contemporary design, featuring slightly flared arms and top-stitching details, fits seamlessly into modern home decor. 

The faux leather upholstery may not be for everybody, however, and could leave a bad taste in someone’s mouth. But, it is a stylish and unique touch to an already durable recliner. “The faux leather is not only visually appealing but also practical, especially for families with pets or children,” adds Trevor.
