La-Z-Boy

The recliner benchmark: proven mechanisms, custom fabrics, dealer service.

The call

La-Z-Boy is what you buy when the mechanism warranty and a service network matter — it costs accordingly. Welax and the direct-to-consumer lane deliver most of the everyday comfort for much less, with the trade-off carried by shorter track records. Budget recliner for a spare room: direct. Daily driver for a decade: benchmark.
