Unique Features of La-Z-Boy Power Reclining Furniture

La-Z-Boy offers various power reclining options, allowing customers to choose based on their preferences and needs. All of our furniture starts with manual reclining as a standard feature. However, power reclining upgrades are available for:

• Rocking/Wall Recliners
• Rocking Swivel Recliners
• Reclining Loveseats
• Reclining Sofas
• Reclining Sectionals

While most furniture can be upgraded to include power reclining, gliding recliners do not have this option. For more on the differences between rockers and gliders, see our article on this topic.

Power recliners at La-Z-Boy come with a control panel or a wireless remote, making it easy to adjust your position with the touch of a button. Additional features include an adjustable headrest, which can tilt from 0 to 55 degrees, and lumbar support for enhanced comfort. Plus, our power recliners are equipped with USB ports for charging devices and memory settings to save your favourite positions.

Options & Upgrades

While power reclining is already an upgrade, La-Z-Boy offers additional customization options:

Cover Options

Choose from over 800 fabric and leather options, including stain-resistant, pet-friendly, antimicrobial, and eco-friendly materials. Leather choices, including leather match and recycled leather, are also available at an additional cost.

Cushion Upgrade

Upgrade to firmer cushions for enhanced comfort and support, especially beneficial for those with mobility issues.

Cordless Rechargeable Battery

This optional upgrade allows your power recliner to operate without needing to be plugged into an outlet, offering greater placement flexibility. To learn more about our Rechargeable Battery Packs, take a look at this article.

Swivel Base Upgrade

Rocking recliners can be fitted with a swivel base, allowing 360-degree rotation. A power swivel option is also available, which provides up to 165 degrees of rotation to prevent the cord from tangling.

Console Upgrade

Some power reclining loveseats can include a console for extra storage, cup holders, and electronic charging inputs, adding to the convenience and functionality.

Cost

Power reclining furniture at La-Z-Boy falls within the high-price range, primarily due to the quality of materials and craftsmanship. Upgrading from a manual to a power frame generally adds about $1,000 to the base price per seat. For a loveseat or sofa with two power reclining seats, expect an additional $2,000.

While the initial investment may be high, it is important to consider that La-Z-Boy furniture is designed for durability and long-term use, making it a worthwhile investment for those seeking high-quality, comfortable furniture.

Is La-Z-Boy Power Reclining Furniture Right for You?

Now that you know more about La-Z-Boy power reclining furniture, you might be wondering if it's the right choice for you. Here are a few factors to consider before making your decision.

Firstly, power recliners are particularly beneficial if you prefer furniture that requires less effort to operate. This is especially true for those with mobility issues or older adults who may find manual recliners harder to use. With a power recliner, you can easily recline and sit back without needing to exert any physical effort. Our power lift chairs also offer additional mobility support.

When considering power reclining furniture, think about your space and outlet availability. Power recliners need to be plugged in to function, so if you have limited outlets, you may need to rearrange your room layout. 

If this seems inconvenient, power reclining furniture might not be the best fit for you. Alternatively, our rechargeable battery packs provide flexibility in placement without needing constant access to an outlet.
