About the Wynne Recliner

The Wynne Recliner is one of the latest recliners to hit our La-Z-Boy Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston showrooms. With this being one of the latest additions to the floor, you can see that La-Z-Boy is moving towards a modern approach to recliners.

Mitch says, “It’s a minimalist design, which people tend to enjoy nowadays.” He also mentioned the fact that the arms of the recliner are not the main feature of this frame. Instead, the emphasis is focused on the cushions.

The Wynne features a tall, blown-fibre biscuit back that’s separated into 6 panels on the inside for clean styling. It also features a hybrid bucket chaise seat and legrest which offers a supportive expanse of melt-in coziness.

In terms of the size, Mitch mentions that this is a compact recliner. Because of this, it would be better suited for those looking to downsize or are currently living in a smaller space.

What’s more, the Wynne might be best suited for those between the heights of 5’4” to 5’9”, depending on how you sit in it.

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 Wynne Recliner 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 Wynne is available as a Rocking Recliner, a Wall Recliner and a Gliding Recliner.

Wynne Recliner Options & Upgrades

The Wynne Recliner 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 Wynne 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 Wynne is also available in specialty fabrics 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, Wynne 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

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 Wynne 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.

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest & Lumbar Support

You can upgrade the Wynne Rocking Recliner and the Wynne Wall Recliner 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.

Wynne Recliner Cost

In terms of cost, Wynne compact recliners fall within the mid-price range at La-Z-Boy. 

While the cost of the Wynne is quite standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered expensive on the market. This cost is reflected in the quality of materials and craftsmanship of our products.

Wynne Recliner Warranty

The Wynne Recliner is covered by La-Z-Boy’s Limited Lifetime Warranty. This warranty covers the repair or replacement of the frame, spring systems, and mechanism, given that they are quality-crafted and built for long-lasting comfort.

While still quality-crafted, other aspects of the product, such as fabrics, leather, and cushions, are not meant to last a lifetime. However, these parts are still covered by the La-Z-Boy Manufacturer’s Warranty for a given period of time.

To further protect your purchase, La-Z-Boy Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston offer an extended warranty plan at an additional cost. To learn more about the Extended Warranty Plan and if it’s right for you, take a look at this article.

Is the Wynne Recliner Right for You?

Now that we have learned a lot about this compact recliner chair, is this the right furniture frame for you?

When looking at the functionality, Mitch explains that the Wynne is a compact recliner that’s good for small spaces and short people. 

”If you’re looking for something that may fit an open concept space, this might fit the bill as well,” he says.

Mitch also comments on the swivel glider recliner, which not a lot of solo recliner frames have. “This type of recliner is quieter than a rocker, and it can be great for nurseries too,” he says.

Further, when referring to the style, the Wynne is not the typical recliner you would find at La-Z-Boy. As mentioned above, this recliner is part of a new selection of recliners that are starting to lean more toward the minimalist approach. 

This means less plushy material that you would normally see on a popular frame like the Morrison Recliner, for example, but still the same comfort you would normally see from a La-Z-Boy. If you enjoy newer styles compared to more traditional styled recliners, the Wynne might be right for you.
