As we head into 2026, comfort-driven design continues to shape the way homeowners across Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston choose their living room furniture. Recliners remain one of the most sought-after categories at La Z Boy, and this year’s top sellers highlight a strong mix of modern silhouettes, plush family-friendly styles and ergonomic options tailored for different body types.
According to Vic Bozhko, Sales Consultant at La Z Boy Hunt Club, comfort is still the number one priority in choosing a recliner. “People come in looking for something that feels good the second they sit down,” Vic says. “But they also want styles that fit their home and don’t feel too bulky. These best sellers do both really well.”
Whether you are furnishing a condo, designing a new family room or searching for the perfect reading chair, the 2026 best-selling recliners at La Z Boy offer something for every space and comfort need.
Below, we break down the top five recliners of the year, plus an honourable mention that continues to impress customers.

Vic sees customers gravitate toward the Finley every day. “People love how the Finley feels supportive without looking oversized. It is the perfect mix of modern style and everyday comfort.”
Why It Stands Out:
The Finley is the perfect blend of modern design and exceptional comfort. Its compact shape works well in both smaller condos and contemporary family homes, making it one of the most versatile recliners at La-Z-Boy.
Best For:
Homeowners are looking for a slim, modern recliner that saves space while offering excellent support and long-term comfort.
The Finley is also available as a wall reclining loveseat and reclining sofa. To learn more about the Finley Recliner, take a look at this article.
“The Trouper is one of those chairs people sit in and immediately say, ‘Wow, this is comfortable.’ It has that sink-in softness people love,” Vic says.
Why It Stands Out:
Its contoured back and bucket seating offer targeted support for the head, neck and lumbar areas. Customers consistently praise the Trouper for its comfort, especially for extended lounging.
Best For:
Families or individuals who want a soft, supportive recliner that is ideal for relaxing, watching TV or creating a cozy living room atmosphere.
The Trouper is available as a rocking recliner and a wall recliner. It is also available as a reclining loveseat, a sofa and a sectional. To learn more about the Trouper Recliner, take a look at this article.
Vic says tall customers instantly notice a difference when trying the Astor. “If someone over six feet tall sits in this chair, they know right away it is built for them. The back height and depth make a huge difference.”
Why It Stands Out:
The Astor is uniquely engineered for taller users, offering superior neck, back and lumbar support. Its deep cushioning and generous proportions help reduce pressure points and improve long-term comfort.
Best For:
Tall individuals or anyone who prefers a recliner with a wider seat, higher back and substantial cushioning for daily use.
The Astor is available as a rocking and wall recliner, as well as a power lift recliner. To learn more about the Astor Recliner, take a look at this article.
Vic explains its long-lasting popularity. “The Pinnacle has that classic La-Z-Boy comfort people expect. It feels familiar in the best way. Everyone in the family loves it.”
Why It Stands Out:
Its timeless appeal and plush comfort make it one of the easiest recliners to love. The Pinnacle’s inviting design is especially popular among customers seeking a comfortable, traditional style.
Best For:
Anyone who wants a soft, generously cushioned recliner that feels warm, familiar and ideal for family living spaces.
The Pinnacle is available as a rocking recliner, a wall recliner and a gliding recliner. It is also available as a power lift chair, a reclining loveseat and a reclining sofa. To learn more about the Pinnacle Recliner, take a look at this article.
Vic says the Sparrow surprises many shoppers. “People do not expect such a slim chair to feel so supportive. Once they sit in it, they love the fit and the modern shape.”
Why It Stands Out:
The Sparrow offers a modern aesthetic with thoughtfully shaped cushions that provide full-body comfort. Its slim but supportive frame makes it an excellent option for customers who want something contemporary yet comfortable.
Best For:
Homeowners want a stylish, compact recliner that suits modern living rooms, smaller spaces or transitional decor without feeling bulky.
The Sparrow is available as a rocker recliner, a wall recliner and a glider recliner. To learn more about the Sparrow Recliner, take a look at this article.
Vic often recommends the Lennon for those unsure where to start. “The Lennon fits almost anywhere. It is comfortable, supportive and has a clean shape that works with a lot of styles.”
Why It Stands Out:
The Lennon offers a stylish balance between contemporary aesthetics and everyday comfort. It feels supportive without looking oversized and pairs well with both modern and traditional decor.
Best For:
People who want a slim, polished recliner that fits effortlessly into small to medium-sized spaces while still providing strong back and seat support.
The Liam is available as a rocker recliner and a wall recliner, as well as a reclining loveseat and a sofa. To learn more about the Lennon Recliner, take a look at this article.
