Designing your own living room starts with understanding how the space actually works — who uses it, how they move through it, and what the room needs to do on a daily basis.

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.

La-Z-Boy recliners include seven exclusive, patented features you won’t find on other brands:
- a reclining system that eliminates the lower back gap other chairs create
- the ability to recline your back independently without raising the footrest
- three locking footrest positions
- sixteen locking rocker positions
- a four-sided uni-body frame built with American maple hardwood and oriented strand board
- a dual locking footrest designed to prevent accidental collapse
- contour cut foam cushioning that holds its shape far longer than traditional stuffing
These features work together to deliver better lumbar support, more comfort options, and a longer-lasting recliner overall.
In this article, we break down each of these features in detail so you can understand exactly what sets La-Z-Boy apart and why it matters for your comfort and health.
