About the Lennon Furniture Family

The Lennon offers a sleek appearance with a contemporary style. Although the size of the furniture is scaled down, the style is amped up, making for an enticing and desirable look. 

What makes this look contemporary is that it features track arms and a more streamlined silhouette, which not all recliners offer. The Lennon Reclining Sofa stands out with its contemporary design, featuring track arms and a streamlined appearance not often found in other recliners.

The Lennon also has topstitching details, meaning it is versatile and can go with many different looks. “Because the styling is different from our other slim-looking recliners, people are starting to notice this recliner more than the Finley or the Liam,” says Nicole.

Taking a look at the sizing of the Lennon, there are certain things to consider before purchasing this type of reclining chair.  

As mentioned before, the sizing of this reclining furniture family is slimmed down, meaning it is not as bulky as other recliners. Because of this, the Lennon may be good for smaller spaces, depending on the room size. 

It's worth noting that reclining furniture, no matter how compact, will always be larger than stationary furniture due to the internal mechanisms required for the reclining function. This is because these mechanisms take up more space than other furniture components. 

Nicole notes that in addition to its stylish design, the Lennon is a versatile furniture family that can accommodate a range of body sizes. Its normal height scale ensures comfortable seating for individuals between 5'4" to 5'9" in height.

While your height can be a considerable factor, it is important to note that height guidelines are NOT set in stone. How 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 Lennon family for a sit test with the help of a La-Z-Boy sales consultant. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.

The Lennon is available as a Rocking Recliner, a Wall Recliner, a Reclining Loveseat and a Reclining Sofa.

Lennon Furniture Family Options & Upgrades

Compared to other La-Z-Boy furniture families, Lennon has plenty of customization options to choose from. Keep in mind that the cost of the Lennon furniture will increase with your selection of options and upgrades.  

Upholstery Cover Options

When selecting the fabric or leather for your Lennon 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 Lennon 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.

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, Lennon 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 (Recliners)

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 Lennon 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.

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest & Lumbar Support

You can upgrade the Lennon Recliner, Loveseat and Sofa 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. 

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

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.

Console Upgrade (Loveseat)

The Lennon Loveseat has the option to include a console in the middle of the seat. This handy center console adds extra storage. 

Cup holders are also included, meaning you can sit back and relax without getting up to grab a drink. Further, the console offers an interior electronic charging input instead of the ports outside the loveseat, as well as a light-up function, so you can easily see your drinks in the dark.

If the console is something that interests you, you can also add Power with Headrest and Lumbar upgrades to enhance your Lennon Loveseat into a truly comfortable experience.

Is the Lennon Furniture Family Right For You?

Although you now have the information you need to make an informed decision about purchasing Lennon furniture, you may still have concerns regarding the furniture's functionality, and its overall style. So, is Lennon the right furniture for you?

In terms of functionality, the Lennon is smaller than other recliners and great for average-height users. If you feel as though your space is of average size and you’re not too short or too tall, the Lennon might be right for you. 

However, if you are shorter or taller than the recommended, you may not feel as comfortable with the Lennon as you would with other furniture pieces. Instead, take a look at some reclining options for Short People or Tall People with these articles.

Finally, if you're after a unique piece of contemporary furniture with a modern flair, the Lennon is a great option. However, if you have a specific furniture style in mind or are trying to achieve a certain theme in your room, such as traditional, the Lennon may not be the right choice for you.

What's Next?

Now that you have a better understanding of the Lennon furniture family, why not discover it in person?

You can start shopping by visiting one of our local showrooms located in Ottawa, Gatineau or Kingston or schedule a visit online before coming in.
