For over 90 years, La-Z-Boy has been continuously innovating the modern recliner. In this time, we have developed not only individual recliners but also reclining loveseats, sofas, sectionals, and even secret recliners.
The Rowan Recliner is a prime example! Lina Najia, a sales consultant at La-Z-Boy Kanata, also tells us that this Recliner “Knows how to keep everyone relaxed for a long or short sit,” she explains.
But you might be wondering, is the Rowan furniture right for you? This article will explain everything you need to know about the Rowan Recliner, including its unique features, size & dimensions, options & upgrades, and cost.
In This Article…
The Rowan Recliner has many different unique features.
Lina begins by stating that the style of the Rowan is “euro-centric with modified elements of modern looks.” The Rowan showcases a combination of style and comfort with its clean lines, flared arms, and a well-padded pillowy top with a split-back design.
The Rowan also features bucket seats and welt trim for an upscale look. Lina also mentions that the slight arm arch “puts more emphasis on the modern styling, and they also flair outward to maximize the seating on the chair .”
Since this Recliner is slim with some flair, maximizing space is essential for these furniture pieces to thrive!
Lina mentions that the size of this Recliner is comfortable for most individuals. More specifically, it provides the most comfort to those who are between the height of 5’4” to 5’9”.
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 Rowan 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 Rowan is available as a Rocking Recliner and a Wall Recliner.

Rowan Recliner Options & Upgrades
The Rowan Recliner comes with a variety of options and upgrades to enhance your comfort and style:
When selecting the fabric or leather for your Rowan 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 Rowan is also available in specialty fabrics that offer unique features and benefits…
At an additional cost, Rowan 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 Rowan 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 Rowan 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.

The Rowan is in the mid-price range at La-Z-Boy. While the cost of the Rowan Recliner is considered standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered more expensive in the market. This cost is reflected in the quality of materials and craftsmanship of our products.
