La-Z-Boy Southeast | November 21, 2024
One of the most frequent questions we receive is, “Where is La-Z-Boy Furniture made?”
Buying products made in the USA creates jobs, supports the local community, and is better for the environment.
La-Z-Boy furniture is mostly made in America and brought to you by our corporate headquarters, manufacturing plants in the US and Mexico, ten distribution centers, and more than 100 retail stores located across the United States.
La-Z-Boy’s American Manufacturing Plants
La-Z-Boy’s manufacturing plants are leaders in quality and safety as well as proud supporters of their local communities. Our manufacturing plants produce an average of 8,000 pieces per day and employ more than 11,000 people in:
- Dayton, TN
- Siloam Springs, AR
- Neosho, MO
- Ramos Arizpe, MX-COA
- San Luis Rio Colorado, MX-SON

At each of these manufacturing plants, the goal has always been and continues to be focused on crafting high-quality products, while having the least environmental impact. La-Z-Boy Incorporated is committed to reducing waste, increasing recycling and energy efficiency, and consuming fewer resources.
American Sourced Parts & Materials
The steel, springs, foam, and hardwood framing used in La-Z-Boy products are also sourced in America:
- Steel: Tennessee & Alabama
- Springs: Indiana & North Carolina
- Foam: Mississippi
- Hardwood Framing: Kentucky & Louisiana
Our North American regional manufacturing plants fashion these parts and materials into the La-Z-Boy furniture you see for sale.
Dayton, TN Supplies the Southeastern United States
The majority of La-Z-Boy Furniture purchased in the Southeastern United States comes from the manufacturing plant in Dayton, Tennessee.
This location opened in 1973 and currently occupies more than 1.2 million square feet.
The award-winning manufacturing plant in Dayton, TN is La-Z-Boy’s largest facility, capable of producing more than 1.3 million units per year. It is also home to a state-of-the-art research and development innovation center.
La-Z-Boy’s American-Made Comfort: From Manufacturing to Your Home
After our furniture leaves the manufacturing plant, it is sent to one of our La-Z-Boy Distribution Centers then to a La-Z-Boy location near you.
Each La-Z-Boy product is unboxed and given one final inspection before it is shipped to La-Z-Boy retail stores across the United States. Our distribution centers have incorporated significant eco-friendly packaging reuse programs. This has enabled the reuse of approximately 90 different materials.
At your local La-Z-Boy Home Furnishings & Décor, you can shop our selection of furniture and consult with a degreed interior designer for free. The La-Z-Boy In-Home Design program makes the experience of furnishing your home as comfortable as possible.
The La-Z-Boy Journey: An American Success Story in Furniture Manufacturing
In 1927, cousins Edward M. Knabusch and Edwin J. Shoemaker set out to design a chair for what they called “nature’s way of relaxing” with a few orange crates to mock-up their idea. They invented a wood-slat porch chair with a reclining mechanism. It was a massive success.
A contest was held to name the chair, and a twelve-year-old girl observed, “You guys look like a bunch of lazy boys sitting in those chairs.” La-Z-Boy was deemed the winner.
In 1961, the La-Z-Boy Recliner was updated to include a footrest. A few years later, La-Z-Boy expanded in to sofas, chairs, furniture, and more.
La-Z-Boy trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LZB.
La-Z-Boy is constantly researching and developing new ways to improve all of our products. The same innovative spirit that began in 1927 is what drives us to continue finding new ways to live life comfortably.
La-Z-Boy Brands
La-Z-Boy, famous for inventing the recliner nearly a century ago, has grown to offer much more than its iconic chair. Today, La-Z-Boy is dedicated to delivering comfort and quality across the entire home, with a wide range of products including upholstered sofas, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, and solid wood bedroom and dining sets.
The La-Z-Boy family of brands now includes these other well-known brands:
- Joybird
- Hammary
- Kincaid Furniture
- England Furniture Co.
- American Drew
Giving Back to the Community
When it comes to helping sick children and their families, providing comfort is the least we can do. That’s why La-Z-Boy became the official furniture provider of Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Together with RMHC, we make sure that families have a comfortable “home away from home” while their children receive much needed medical care.
La-Z-Boy is proud to have provided thousands of sofas, chairs, sectionals and recliners to the Ronald McDonald Houses and Ronald McDonald Family Rooms across North America.
