Wall Recliners

Our wall saving recliner chairs deliver luxury, functionality and comfort in a space-saving design. Perfect for smaller areas, they offer a smooth reclining motion for any room.

The ultimate glideaway recliner chair for small spaces

If you’re looking to furnish your home with a reclining chair but are unsure of the best style for your space, it’s worth exploring the different types available. Wall saver recliners are gaining popularity as a great alternative to traditional rocker recliners. For modern New Zealand homes, styles like the wall hugger recliner and glideaway recliner are now go-to options for both comfort and space efficiency.

A manual glideaway recliner could be your best choice for maximising comfort in your living room. With a space-saving glideaway recliner, you get all the benefits of a traditional recliner, but with the added bonus of a wall-saver design which allows the chair to sit closer to the wall without sacrificing reclining function.

What is a wall saver/glideaway recliner?

A wall saver recliner, also known as a glideaway recliner, is a modern evolution of the traditional rocker recliner. While a regular recliner rocks in an arched motion, the glideaway recliner moves in a linear, forward-back motion, allowing the chair to be positioned closer to the wall. This makes it the perfect space-saving recliner for rooms with limited space, while still offering the full reclining function.

Key tips when choosing the right glideaway recliner

At La-Z-Boy, our furniture doesn't just look good; it performs well in every living room. Whether you’re after a glideaway recliner for small spaces or a wall hugger recliner designed to fit against the wall, there are a few important considerations to keep in mind:

  • Space: Measure your living space and the available area for your new recliner to ensure a seamless fit. The glideaway recliner is perfect for maximising space efficiency without sacrificing comfort.
  • Size: It’s crucial to choose a recliner that fits your body size. Try out a few options to find a glideaway chair that offers the best support and comfort.
  • Material and colour: With several fabric and leather upholstery choices, you can customise your wall recliner or glideaway recliner to match your home's style and décor.
  • Comfort: Comfort is the top priority at La-Z-Boy. Our wall recliners and glideaway recliners offer a perfect balance of form and function, allowing you to find the most comfortable position for watching TV or lounging after a long day.
  • Functionality: The glideaway feature is particularly useful in smaller living rooms, requiring minimal clearance from the wall. Plus, you can personalise your recliner with features designed to keep you comfortable for years to come.
  • Rocking vs. gliding: The wall saver recliner does not rock like our traditional rocking recliners. If you are looking for a recliner that does rock, check out our range of Rocking Recliners. The wall saver recliner has a smooth gliding motion, that allows it to shift into the reclining position without taking up space behind the chair.

Why a manual glideaway recliner may be the perfect fit

At La-Z-Boy we offer both manual and power recliners and each with their own benefits. While power options come with extra convenience, a manual glideaway recliner can often be a simpler, more durable solution and can be great for those looking for simplicity. Here’s why a manual chair might work best for you:

  • Durability: With fewer moving parts, a manual glideaway recliner offers greater longevity and reliability.
  • Warranty: La-Z-Boy backs our products with lifetime warranties on the rocker and glideaway recliner mechanisms and an industry leading warranty on other components. That’s confidence in quality!
  • Classic designs: From traditional leather recliners, to wall recliners in modern fabric patterns, our range offers something for everyone. Whether you love timeless styles or contemporary trends, we have options to suit your aesthetic.
  • Lumbar support: A manual wall hugger recliner offers superior lumbar support, making it a more comfortable choice for long-term use compared to a standard armchair.

Can you adjust a reclining chair?

Absolutely. Both manual and power glideaway recliners offer adjustable features to provide you with the perfect level of comfort. The manual glideaway mechanism allows for smooth, effortless reclining, while power options give you the added convenience of fingertip control.

Are reclining chairs good for your back?

Yes, the right glideaway recliner can actually improve your back health. At La-Z-Boy, our chairs are designed to provide superior lumbar support, relieving pressure on your lower back and helping you relax in comfort. The ability to adjust the reclining angle also aids circulation and muscle relaxation.

How far back do recliners go?

Our glideaway recliners are designed to offer a full range of motion, with some models reclining into a near-horizontal position (zero-gravity position). These chairs are built on sturdy bases with high-quality mechanisms, ensuring long-lasting performance. Whether you prefer a glideaway recliner for small spaces, or a wall hugger recliner for compact living areas, La-Z-Boy offers the ultimate in comfort and style.
