Sometimes, choosing the right furniture frame for your space can be hard. Do you need something that will be big or small, or something that will be deeper or shallow? Maybe you’re looking for a specific style that works for you, like traditional or contemporary.
A recliner can be a good choice for all of these factors, but maybe you still think there isn’t a single chair out there that will go well in your living space. Have you considered that it isn’t the furniture frame that’s wrong but maybe the material?
Perhaps everything you’ve considered in fabric hasn’t been just right, but maybe leather could be your next choice. Leather is a great material to use in a house if you’re looking to create a timeless style and purchase a long-lasting furniture piece.
Not only does leather last almost five times longer than leather, but it is also easier to clean than fabric furniture and easy to upkeep. At La-Z-Boy, we have many different types of recliner chairs to choose from in our furniture stores in Ottawa, including the best modern leather recliners you will ever sit on.
So what are our top 5 picks for leather recliners at La-Z-Boy, and are any of them right for you? Stick around to learn more!

1. The Lennon Leather Recliner
The first leather reclining chair on our list is the Lennon, which offers a clean and tailored look within its appearance. This slim recliner has a scaled-down size, but its functionality makes up for how slim fitting it is. In fact, in its wall reclining frame, the Lennon can fully recline without worrying about how close to the wall it is.
Racha Pharaon, a design consultant at La-Z-Boy Kanata, tells us that the Lennon is one of the more modern leather recliners shown on our floor. “Its streamlined style and sleek track arms make it fit well in smaller spaces well,” she says. It is also one of our more affordable leather recliners on this list.
The Lennon is available in power and comes as a rocker recliner or wall recliner. The Lennon is also available as a loveseat with a console and a sofa. You can learn more about the Lennon Furniture Family with this article.
2. The Rowan Leather Recliner
Next up is another modern-looking recliner, the Rowan. The Rowan is one of La-Z-Boy's leather recliners with an exquisite combination of style and comfort. It may look sleek, but the flared arms maximize the seating area, giving you more room than it looks.
The Rowan is also known for its stylish wingback design, which gives it an ultra-modern edge. And, what’s more, its grey leather colour looks great in any space, according to Racha. “It also seems to be a number one favourite for women, especially as a power recliner chair,” she says.
The Rowan is available in power and comes as a rocker recliner or wall recliner. You can learn more about the Rowan Recliner with this article.
3. The Talladega Leather Recliner
The third selection on our list is another stylish recliner but with an added twist in the overall design. The Talladega is the best La-Z-Boy recliner to add to any man cave. It is a man’s recliner through and through, especially with its racing stripe top-stitching detailing that helps accentuate the look of this furniture frame.
The Talladega also features an ultra-plush chaise seat, padded arms, a tall foam back and a streamlined style that’s perfect for any home.
The Talladega is available in power and comes as a rocker recliner or wall recliner. The Talladega is also available as a loveseat and a sofa. You can learn more about the Talladega Furniture Family with this article.
4. The Greyson Leather Recliner
Next up, we have the Greyson, which is also known as the Cadillac of comfort by our employees. The Greyson is exquisitely designed, with pillow-top arms and an extra-deep chaise seat that cradles you in a continuous zone of comfort.
This modern leather recliner’s seat is also deep and wide, with a plush back and pillow top arms complimenting its unique channelled cushion look. While this most comfortable recliner may be great to watch movies in, it can also be great as a reading chair.
The Greyson is available in power and comes as a rocker recliner or wall recliner. The Greyson is also available as a loveseat and a sofa. You can learn more about the Greyson Furniture Family with this article.
5. The Trouper Leather Recliner
Last but not least, we have the Trouper. Now we may have cheated our list with this recliner… Racha admits that while it may not be traditionally known as one of the best modern leather recliners at La-Z-Boy, it is, in fact, available in leather, which is why it is on this list.
What the Trouper is mostly known for is its faux leather covers, which mimic the leather we all know and love, but as a more sleek fabric.
An updated silhouette, complete with slightly flared arms and a sleek tall back gives this brown leather recliner from La-Z-Boy a look that’s fresh and contemporary. It’s also one comfortable recliner. The sculpted bucket seat cradles you in softness while the padded split back provides superb head and lumbar support.
The Trouper is available in power and comes as a rocker recliner or wall recliner. The Trouper is also available as a loveseat, a sofa and a sectional. You can learn more about the Trouper Recliner with this article.
6. The Astor Leather Recliner - Honourable Mention
If you weren’t pleased with our top 5 picks, we have two other recliner picks that deserve an honourable mention. Take this Astor Recliner for example.
Designed especially for larger users, this large La-Z-Boy rocker recliner brings relaxation to new heights. Our tallest recliner ever, Astor features a deep, wide seat and comes standard with our tall base. The tall pillow back features three separate cushions that can adjust to your body’s contours, while the chaise seat and padded flared arms provide the ultimate comfort.
The Astor is available in power and comes as a rocker recliner, a wall recliner and a lift recliner. You can learn more about the Astor Recliner with this article.
7. The James Leather Recliner - Honourable Mention
We also have the James Recliner as an honourable mention. This leather reclining chair offers a perfect blend of comfort and function, with a casual, family-friendly style.
The James features a tall, stitched pillow back and pillow top arms that comfortably cradle you with extra support. Racha also says that this leather reclining chair can be a great alternative to the Trouper if you’re looking for a genuine feel for leather.
The James is available in power and comes as a rocker recliner or wall recliner. The James is also available as a lift recliner, a loveseat, a sofa and a sectional. You can learn more about the James Furniture Family with this article.
