The La-Z-Boy Noah Collection: A Modern Take on the Classic Sofa

La-Z-Boy Southeast | August 6, 2026

The La-Z-Boy Noah collection stands out for its clean, modern-leaning silhouette and its comfort-tuned, fully customizable cushions. Gently arced, welt-trimmed arms meet squared-off cushions and slim tapered legs. As a result, Noah feels fresh and tailored rather than traditional. It also comes as a sofa, loveseat, chair, and ottoman, so a single style can carry a whole room.

Noah’s silhouette breaks from the norm

If you want a sofa that steps away from the ordinary, La-Z-Boy’s Noah is worth a look. Its arms curve in a soft arc before tapering down to a clean, tailored line. Subtle wings flow into those flared arms, which are finished with welt trim. Because of that welt detail, the edges read crisp instead of fussy. The cushions are box-border, or squared-off, rather than the rounded T-cushion you see on many sofas. Slim, tapered wood legs finish the look. Together, these details land Noah firmly on the modern side of transitional style.

Cushions you can actually live with

Noah uses loose, unattached back cushions instead of a fixed back. You can lift them off entirely, which opens up room to stretch out or lie down. Loose cushions sometimes flop forward, however, and that gets annoying fast. Noah avoids this because each back cushion has a squared-off bottom edge. As a result, the cushions sit upright and stay put against the frame.

Look underneath and you’ll spot zippers on both the seat and back cushions. Those zippers let you shift and rotate the fill, so the cushions wear evenly over time. Inside, La-Z-Boy builds the seats with different foam densities for comfort. The area behind your knees sits a little softer, for example, so it won’t cut off circulation while you relax.

Built for comfort, and for taller frames

Noah’s seats run a bit deeper than average, which changes who it suits best. In fact, La-Z-Boy recommends this scale for taller people, roughly 5’10” to 6’2″. If that’s you, the extra depth means you can truly sit back and settle in. Meanwhile, the generous proportions give the piece presence without overwhelming a refined room.

Make the Noah your own

Like most La-Z-Boy pieces, Noah is made to order and highly customizable. You can choose from hundreds of fabrics and leathers, including full-wrap leather for a richer feel. Contrasting welt trim is another option, and it’s an easy way to sharpen that tailored edge. If spills worry you, ask about performance fabrics such as iClean, which help repel everyday messes. You can browse current options and configurations on the La-Z-Boy Noah page. Because Noah also comes as a chair and ottoman, you can mix pieces to fit your space. For a coordinating stationary accent, the La-Z-Boy Gemma chair is worth a look too.

Designing around your new Noah

A new sofa rarely arrives alone. Often, you’re refreshing rugs, drapery, and accents at the same time. That’s where a little design help pays off. When you visit the store, bring photos of your rugs and a swatch of your drapery. A designer can then match the right Noah cover to everything else in the room. At all of our eight La-Z-Boy Southeast locations, you can meet with a degreed interior designer for free. That guidance is available in the store and through in-home design services. It’s a low-pressure way to see how Noah’s clean lines and custom cover will actually look at home.
