About La-Z-Boy's Pedestal Chair Collection

La-Z-Boy’s new Pedestal Chair collection offers a whole new way to sit on your furniture that we haven’t seen in our showrooms yet. Let’s take a closer look!

To begin with, these pedestal chairs are designed for those who want a modern twist on a recliner. But you might be wondering: These types of recliners look familiar, right? 

If you’ve ever shopped from Stressless, you might notice these pedestal designs are very similar. La-Z-Boy has taken inspiration from these models and made our creations, with comparable prices that rival Stressless.

Our pedestal chairs are available in three models: the Orta, the Rena, and the Aura. These chairs offer a recliner and ottoman combination, providing exceptional comfort and style. The Aura model even features a telescopic headrest for added neck support, similar to a car seat.

Each model is available in three sizes: small, medium, and large, ensuring everyone can find their perfect fit. To learn more about How to Know if a Recliner is the Best Fit for You, take a look at this article.

Features of Pedestal Chairs:

  • Adjustable Tilting Headrest: Customizable for personalized comfort.
  • Premium Leather Options: Available in 7 top-grain protected pigmented leather colours, providing a luxurious feel.
  • Durable Construction: Built with a metal back and wooden seat, these chairs offer a gentle, "mini rocking" feature for relaxation.
  • Cold-Cured Foam: The 3.5-density foam ensures that the chair retains its shape and comfort over time, without sagging.
  • Tension Knob Recline: The recline function can be locked in place for a “set it and forget it” experience. It also includes a lay-flat recline feature.
  • 360-degree Swivel: Offering full rotation for maximum convenience.
  • Ottoman: A stationary ottoman designed for comfort and support, paired with each chair model.
  • Wood Finishes: Choose from three finishes, including Wenge, Natural, and Walnut, adding a sophisticated touch to the chair's base.

Is the Pedestal Chair Collection Right for You?

Now that you’re aware of the specifics around the new Pedestal Chair Collection at La-Z-Boy, do you think these products are right for you? You might not know the answer just yet, which is what this section is for! Let’s take a look at some last-minute things to consider before making your purchase.

Starting with price, it is important to acknowledge these recliners are more expensive than our regular recliners on the floor. The main reason why is due to the construction of these frames, and the fact that they are not locally made.

International products will normally cost more than local La-Z-Boy products, but this does not mean they are not worth investing in. For example, Stressless pedestal chairs, which have the same design, have a comparable price to these chairs, some of these products being best sellers in their stores.

Furthermore, these pedestal chairs offer a great blend of functionality and style. These chairs are the first of our products to feature manually adjustable headrests, which are more affordable than our regular power recliners with adjustable headrests and lumbar support. If you’re looking for a more affordable option that isn't in power, this product could be right for you.

Additionally, these recliner chairs are all available in exclusive leather upholstery covers that are not seen on other products on our showroom floor.

If you’re looking for fabric pieces, however, you are out of luck in this collection, as all products are currently only available in leather covers in our Ottawa and Kingston locations.

Lastly, the Pedestal Chair Collection offers great sizing options, with even the largest designs being able to suit smaller spaces. Not only that, but their slim shape also makes them perfect for easy traffic flow in tight spaces.

What's Next?

Now that you know all about La-Z-Boy’s Modern Pedestal Chair Collection, why not come and experience these chairs for yourself? Out of these products, we also have new Swivel Glider Recliners available, which you can find out more about with this review article.

Visit us at one of our Ottawa or Kingston locations to view the collection in person and take a sit test. You can also schedule an appointment online for a personalized consultation.

Our sales consultants are always eager to lend a helping hand. Take advantage of our interior design services to see how these furniture pieces could fit in your home.
