At La-Z-Boy, innovation and craftsmanship go hand in hand. For nearly a century, we’ve been dedicated to one mission — designing the world’s most comfortable recliners. Our patented La-Z-Boy Reclining Mechanism sets us apart, combining intelligent engineering, hand assembly, and uncompromising quality to deliver smooth motion, perfect balance, and unmatched durability. Only genuine La-Z-Boy recliners feature these exclusive technologies, designed and tested to provide comfort that stands the test of time. It’s why La-Z-Boy continues to be the global standard in recliner innovation, style, and reliability.

Second to None in Comfort & Engineering

Every La-Z-Boy Recliner is a result of precise engineering and decades of research into how the body relaxes. Each mechanism is built from premium materials and tested beyond industry standards to ensure strength, safety, and seamless operation.

From the way our recliners move to the way they support your body, every detail is crafted with purpose — to help you sit, recline, and rock with total comfort and confidence.

Independent Reclining & Rocking — The Best of Both Worlds

One of the most defining features of a La-Z-Boy Recliner is its ability to recline and rock independently.
The backrest can recline up to 18 different positions, while the footrest lifts and locks into 3 distinct levels, allowing you to customize your comfort completely.

  • Recline without lifting the footrest, or enjoy a gentle rocking motion while seated.
  • Choose your perfect angle for reading, relaxing, or resting.
  • Smooth independent movement lets you recline and rock simultaneously — a unique
    feature unmatched by ordinary recliners.

This independence of motion gives you more flexibility, better balance, and a sense of
effortless comfort in any position.

Secure 3-Position Locking Footrest — Strength and Safety Combined

The La-Z-Boy Adjustable Footrest locks into three secure positions, providing support exactly where you need it. Each locking level offers a different style of relaxation — from partial leg elevation to full stretch-out comfort.

  • Solid Steel Shaft: The footrest mechanism is reinforced with a durable steel shaft for
    maximum strength and long-lasting reliability.
  • Superior Stability: Even under pressure, the footrest remains steady and won’t fold
    unintentionally.
  • Custom Comfort: Allows for more flexibility than standard recliners that only offer
    “open” or “closed” settings.

This innovative locking system ensures both safety and personalized support — key elements
that define La-Z-Boy’s signature comfort.

Full Body & Lumbar Support — Continuous Comfort, Every Time

The patented La-Z-Boy Reclining System is designed to maintain full-body alignment and proper support across all reclining angles.
As the seat and back move together, they cradle your body from head to toe — eliminating
gaps that can cause strain or discomfort.

  • Continuous lumbar support keeps your spine and lower back properly aligned.
  • Prevents pressure buildup and back fatigue during long periods of sitting.
  • Promotes healthy posture whether upright, semi-reclined, or fully laid back.

Unlike standard recliners that leave a gap between the seat and back when reclined, La-Z-
Boy’s design ensures seamless, supportive comfort in every position.

4-Sided Unibody Box Frame — Built to Endure

Every La-Z-Boy Recliner is constructed using our patented four-sided unibody box frame — a design exclusive to La-Z-Boy.

  • Thick, Reinforced Wood: Provides superior durability and absorbs motion stress
    during use.
  • Even Weight Distribution: The connected frame structure ensures balanced pressure
    across all sides, preventing wobbling or creaking.
  • Enhanced Flexibility: Built to handle decades of motion while maintaining strength and shape.

This frame is what gives La-Z-Boy recliners their reputation for stability, longevity, and
exceptional craftsmanship.

Hand-Assembled Mechanisms — Precision in Every Detail

Each La-Z-Boy Mechanism is meticulously hand-assembled by trained craftsmen. This ensures precision alignment, smooth motion, and easy servicing when needed.

  • Modular Design: Only individual parts require servicing, never the entire recliner.
  • Quality Assurance: Each mechanism undergoes strict inspection and performance
    testing.
  • Sustainable Maintenance: Easier repairs mean longer product life and less environmental waste.

This hand-built quality reflects La-Z-Boy’s heritage — where craftsmanship meets modern
innovation.

Adjustable Reclining Tension — Personalized Motion

Because comfort is personal, La-Z-Boy recliners include adjustable tension control that lets you fine-tune your reclining ease based on your strength and preference.

  • Located conveniently under the seat, the wing nut adjusts recline resistance.
  • Turning clockwise increases the reclining force.
  • Turning counterclockwise makes it easier to recline.

A simple half-turn and test ensure you achieve your desired comfort level. This thoughtful detail lets every user personalize the motion to their exact liking — another hallmark of genuine La-Z-Boy design. turn the wing nut half turn and sit for testing before making the next adjustment.

Built to Last — Tested, Trusted, Guaranteed

La-Z-Boy recliners are designed and tested to perform for a lifetime of relaxation. Each patented rocker and reclining mechanism is tested for over 100,000 motion cycles — far
exceeding typical industry standards.

  • 10-Year Limited Warranty: On all mechanical and structural components.
  • Durability You Can Rely On: Rigorously tested to support everyday use and long-term performance.

Few brands stand behind their comfort like La-Z-Boy — a promise of quality and confidence
that’s been trusted for generations.
