The La-Z-Boy Sparrow Recliner is one of the latest models in our ever-growing catalogue of recliners, celebrated for its superior comfort and chic design. Ideal for relaxing after a busy day or enhancing your living room's aesthetic, the Sparrow Recliner seamlessly combines style and functionality.
Cliff Norman, a sales consultant at La-Z-Boy Cyrville, tells us that the Sparrow is “a great choice for anyone filling in that small corner in their they don’t know what to do with.” But you might be wondering, is the Sparrow right for you?
The tapered arms are what make this recliner modern and a more relaxed look. It is slim but not so slim that you wouldn’t notice the plush of the back cushions. All of these factors provide additional shaping for the Sparrow, which gives it a layered look.
As for who might sit comfortably in this recliner, Cliff mentions the Sparrow would most likely suit anyone shorter, preferably between the heights of 5’4” to 5’9”. “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 Sparrow 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 Sparrow is available as a rocking and wall recliner. Rocking recliners rock in a smooth and graceful motion while not reclining while wall recliners can recline fully while still mere inches away from a wall.

The Sparrow Recliner comes with a variety of options and upgrades to enhance your comfort and style:
When selecting the fabric or leather for your Sparrow 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.

*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 Sparrow is also available in specialty fabrics that offer unique features and benefits…
At an additional cost, Sparrow 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.
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.
If you're interested, the Sparrow 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.
You can upgrade the Sparrow 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.
f 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.

The Sparrow Recliner 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.
As mentioned before, the Sparrow is considered a modern style with a smaller frame. With these factors in play, we can assume that the Sparrow is a good choice for modern homes with those that have a shorter to average height.
As for taller users, you might have a harder time finding comfort if your head goes over the headrest of the recliner. Cliff says, “I definitely wouldn’t choose this chair for me since I’m 6’2” and I can’t even reach the headrest… unless I crouch.” If you’re looking for a recliner as a larger user, consider reading recliners for tall people.
Lastly, for modern styles, this recliner has a layered look to it, which means it naturally adds depth to your living room. What’s more, because the tapered arms and slightly curved going toward the inside of the frame, this recliner could be a great choice for a mid-century theme.
