You can choose from a variety of recliners, but which one is best for you? It’s understandable that not everyone likes La-Z-large Boy’s assortment of recliners. As a result, we’re writing this recliner guide in the hopes that you’ll find a lot of useful information, regardless of the brand you choose.
Eight Tips for Choosing Your Perfect Recliner
1. Consider Your Space
You must take into account the amount of room you have before purchasing a reclining chair.
Consider the dimensions and features of the room where your new recliner will be placed before you visit your local furniture store.
Consider What Room the Recliner Will be Placed in
As a family area, or an adult-only reading and entertaining space? Considering a den, an office or a nursery for this piece of furniture.
Following these questions, you’ll need to pick where to place your recliner in the room. In order to learn more about arranging your furniture, check out our blog.
Measure your Room
You’ll need to take a look at the dimensions of your space. The fireplace, windows, doors, and other openings must be considered. The only way to ensure that your recliner will fit is to measure.
When looking for furniture, beware of what you see. For the most part, showrooms are substantially larger than the average household’s living and family rooms. You may not be able to fit the furniture you see in the store in your own home. If you haven’t taken into account the flow of the room and any other space requirements you may have, dimensions alone may not be enough.
In addition to measuring your room for fit, it is necessary to consider how your furniture will travel to your room when it arrives.
The salesman will be able to help you locate a proper fit if you bring your measurements with you to the store. It will be much more beneficial if you can produce a sketch or take some photos of your room.
Visit this page for further information on how to measure your room precisely so that you may buy the appropriate furniture.
Take Pictures
‘A picture is worth a thousand words’ is a well-known proverb. This is also true when it comes to shopping for furniture. Many people in the modern world own a smartphone. Before you go shopping, take a few quick photos of your space to better grasp its arrangement.
The La-Z-Boy augmented reality app, for example, is one of many third-party space planning applications. You may get a sneak peek of what your future home’s La-Z-Boy furniture will look like by downloading this app to your smartphone.
Other Important Things to Consider in your Home:
- In the room, what color are the walls? Do you intend to paint? The chair fabrics can be more easily matched if you bring in a sample of the paint color.
- Is there a window or door in this space? It’s fine to put a chair in front of the window, as long as it doesn’t obstruct the view.
- What’s in the room now, and what are you planning to replace it with? Is your old furniture compatible with the new one?
- Is the room’s flooring hardwood, tile, carpet, or some other material? Is it better to have scratch-resistant tile or regular tile? Felt pads are an excellent way to keep your hardwood floors safe.
You may choose to engage an interior designer if your project grows to the point where you’re thinking about redoing the entire space.
Check out our article on the cost of an interior designer for additional information.
The interior design services of several furniture retailers are either free or chargeable. La-Z-Boy offers a free interior design service to customers that need it.

2. How to Choose the Right Recliner?
Your own personal needs or those of a family member are the primary considerations when selecting a recliner. Will you be the only one using the recliner? If your heights aren’t the same, you might have to make some concessions. When purchasing two recliners, it’s common for people to buy one for themselves and one for the other person.
Does the chair have the potential to be used by children? Do you have a pet or animals at home? This means that messes and stains are a part of your everyday speech. You’d be surprised to learn that leather is actually easier to keep clean than most fabrics. Textiles from furniture brands with a reputation for durability and stain resistance are known as performance fabrics.
Spill and stain resistance is a feature of the iClean furniture protection fabric from La-Z-Boy.

From small to elongated, your goal should be to achieve individualized comfort and support.
- When purchasing a recliner, choose a size based on the person’s height.

- Designed to withstand wear and tear while being easy to clean, performance textiles
- Technology such as La-Z-iClean Boy’s textiles, which repel spills, provides peace of mind by being stain-resistant.
- Textiles created from recycled plastic bottles, such as La-Z-conserveTM Boy’s Sustainable Fabrics, are examples of environmentally responsible options.
- To prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and odour-causing germs, the fabric is antimicrobial.
