La-Z-Boy Southeast | July 16, 2024
Are you looking for the best La-Z-Boy Recliners for petite body types? Getting fitted for a recliner is like getting fitted for a shoe except we focus on your whole body instead of just your feet.
If you’re 5’4″ and under, you’ll need a La-Z-Boy Recliner with a lower, narrower seat. These chairs offer the comfort La-Z-Boy is famous for on a smaller scale to fit your body type.
In this article, we’ll take a look at the seven best La-Z-Boy Recliners for petite body types.
Why You Need a Recliner That Fits Your Body Type
Sitting in a recliner that doesn’t fit your body can cause unnecessary pain. When you spend a long period of time in an ill-fitting chair, you may experience:
- Neck Pain
- Back Pain
- Leg/Ankle Pain
This is because the cushions and leg rest don’t align with your neck, back, and legs. For example, if the neck cushion pushes your neck forward because you’re too small for the recliner – you’ll experience neck pain.
Also, your ankles will hurt if they hang off the leg rest while you’re reclined.
La-Z-Boy Recliners have seven patented features and benefits. Picking a recliner that fits your body type will help you get the most out of each one.
