1. The Pinnacle Platinum Power Lift Recliner

The Pinnacle Platinum Power Lift Recliner remains one of La-Z-Boy's top-selling models thanks to its plush, approachable style and powerful lift capability. This chair uses a one-piece seat and back design, offering continuous support with no gaps, even when fully reclined.

Tim highlights that the Pinnacle provides independent back and legrest movement, allowing users to fine-tune their exact comfort level. This makes it especially helpful for those needing relief from back discomfort or difficulty shifting weight.

The Pinnacle also fully reclines into a horizontal, bed-like position, which can be useful for sleeping, recovery, or extended relaxation.

The Pinnacle is also available as a rocking, wall or glider recliner, as well as a wall reclining loveseat and sofa. Learn more about the Pinnacle Lift Chair in this detailed article.

What sets the Clayton apart is its premium heat and massage features. "The Clayton is the only La-Z-Boy lift chair with heat and massage," Tim notes. This makes it a standout choice for users seeking therapeutic relief.
