Some recliners are designed to feel hidden in a space, while others are meant to blend style and function more seamlessly. The La-Z-Boy Haven High-Leg Recliner falls right in between.
With its refined silhouette, decorative wood legs, and subtle reclining functionality, the Haven offers the look of an accent chair while delivering the comfort of a recliner.
To better understand how the Haven fits into different homes, we spoke with Racha Pharaon, Sales Consultant at La-Z-Boy Kanata. “The Haven is a great choice for people who want something elegant,” Racha explains. “It gives you comfort, but it doesn’t look like a traditional recliner.”
But beyond its appearance, how does the Haven perform in terms of comfort, sizing, and everyday use?
In this review, we will break down what makes the Haven unique, the options available, and whether it is the right fit for your home.

One of its most defining features is its high-leg design combined with hidden reclining capability. Unlike traditional recliners that can appear bulky, the Haven maintains a lighter, more decorative look that works well in formal living rooms, sitting areas or design-focused spaces.
The chair features a structured seat and a supportive backrest, offering an upright seating position ideal for conversation or everyday use. When reclined, it provides a comfortable place to relax without dramatically altering the chair's visual appearance.
Racha notes that the Haven is often chosen by customers seeking a more elevated look. “It’s one of those chairs that fits into more styled spaces,” she says. “It doesn’t feel heavy in the room.”
Another advantage of the Haven is its compact size, which allows it to fit easily into smaller layouts or serve as an accent piece alongside larger furniture.
In terms of height, the Haven High-Leg Recliner generally works best for shorter- to average-height users, especially those who prefer a more upright, supportive seating position.
Customers who prefer deeper, lounge-style seating may find traditional recliners more suitable.
While your height can be a considerable factor, it is important to note that height guidelines are NOT set in stone. The way you sit on a piece of furniture can drastically affect how comfortable you find a seat.
This is why we highly recommend coming in-store to take a sit test to determine whether the Haven is right for your unique body type. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.

The Haven High-Leg Recliner is a strong option for homeowners who want a refined chair with built-in reclining comfort. Its ability to maintain a clean, elevated look while offering functionality makes it a unique addition to many living spaces.
Racha explains that the Haven stands out because of its design flexibility. “It works really well in spaces where style matters just as much as comfort,” she says.
Because of its upright seating position and compact footprint, the Haven works well in smaller rooms, formal seating areas or as an accent piece in a larger layout.
However, customers who prefer a deeper, more relaxed reclining experience may find traditional recliners better suited to their needs.
For shoppers seeking a stylish, space-conscious recliner that blends seamlessly into their home, the Haven offers a well-balanced option that strikes a fine balance between design and function.
What sets the Haven apart is its ability to deliver reclining comfort in a more refined and decorative form, making it a practical choice for design-focused spaces.
