What Is a La-Z-Boy Recliner?
A La-Z-Boy recliner is an American-made chair with a built-in mechanism that lets you tilt the backrest and extend a footrest using a side handle, push-back motion, or power button. Manufactured in Tennessee and Michigan since 1927, La-Z-Boy recliners feature kiln-dried hardwood frames, a steel reclining mechanism designed in-house, and a locking footrest that holds at any angle.
The name has become so synonymous with recliners that many people use “La-Z-Boy” generically — but it refers specifically to chairs made by La-Z-Boy Incorporated, available in over 900 cover options with upgrades like power recline, lumbar support, heat, and massage.
