Considerations before buying a rocker recliner

With so many options available, choosing the perfect rocker recliner can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry! Here are some key things to keep in mind to make sure you select the ideal recliner for your home.

1. The size of your space
One of the first things to consider is the size of your chosen space – whether it’s a living room, nursery, bedroom or study. A rocker recliner needs room to move, so ensure that your furniture layout leaves space for the chair to recline and rock smoothly. At La-Z-Boy, we offer rocking recliners for small spaces, so you can enjoy maximum comfort, even in more compact homes or if your body type is smaller.

2. Your body type
Not all chairs are made equal and your choice of rocker recliner should suit your body type. If you’re on the taller side, consider our tall recliners for extra comfort, ensuring that your entire body, from head to toe, is properly supported. This is particularly important for maintaining spinal health and lumbar support. At La-Z-Boy, we take pride in offering rocking recliners with lumbar support, providing a seating option that aligns with your body’s natural contours and reduces tension.

3. Construction of the chair
When you’re investing in furniture, quality matters. Our La-Z-Boy rocking recliners are constructed with durability in mind. From the solid frame to the durable interior components, these chairs are made to last. Whether you choose a modern rocker recliner or a more traditional style, rest assured that your La-Z-Boy chair is built to the highest standards and come with an industry-leading warranty (including a lifetime warranty on the rocker and wall saver glideaway mechanisms). Plus, our upholstery options, whether leather or fabric, are designed to resist wear and fading, so your chair will look as good as it feels for years to come.

4. Style and design
At La-Z-Boy, we understand that while comfort is key, style can’t be compromised. That’s why we offer a wide range of reclining rocking chairs in both classic and contemporary designs. Whether you’re looking for a traditional rocker recliner to complement your home’s timeless aesthetic, or a more modern rocker recliner with sleek lines and updated features, we have something to suit every taste. Customisation is at your fingertips, with options to personalise everything from the fabric to additional tech features.

5. Fabric and materials
Your recliner’s upholstery plays a major role in its overall feel and appearance. At La-Z-Boy, we offer a vast selection of fabrics and leathers, so that you can choose the perfect covering for your rocking recliner. All our upholstery materials are premium-grade, breathable and designed for long-term durability. Visit one of our stores to see and feel the difference for yourself—you’ll notice the superior craftsmanship and quality that goes into every La-Z-Boy product.
