Average Cost of Leather Furniture
So, how much does leather furniture cost at La-Z-Boy? The average La-Z-Boy leather chair starts around $1,799, while sofas begin at $2,799 and can reach $4,899 or more, depending on the leather program and frame size.
According to Zina Chaban, a sales consultant at La-Z-Boy Ottawa, Gatineau & Kingston, she says, “The price of leather furniture isn’t just about the leather. It’s a combination of craftsmanship, the customization you choose, and the natural beauty of each hide. With La-Z-Boy, you’re paying for longevity, style, and comfort in one package.”
In short, expect to pay approximately double the price of a fabric model when opting for leather. However, that investment pays off in durability and aesthetic longevity, especially when properly cared for.

Factors That Affect the Cost of Leather Furniture
Several variables influence the final price of your La-Z-Boy leather furniture. Knowing what impacts cost will help you better understand your options and set a realistic budget.
1. Leather Type & Grade
Leather is priced based on its origin, processing method, and finish. La-Z-Boy uses only top-grain leather, which is the most durable and sought-after portion of the hide. The type you choose (Authentic, Nubuck, or Performance) plays a major role in determining final cost.
2. Furniture Frame and Size
Larger items, such as sectionals or motion sofas, naturally cost more than stationary armchairs or ottomans. Additional features like built-in recliners or sleepers also increase the price.
3. Customization and Upgrades
If you’re looking for a firmer cushion, contrasting welt trim, or power features, each custom option will add to the total cost. However, many homeowners find these enhancements worthwhile for daily comfort and personalization.

4. Upholstery Program
La-Z-Boy offers Select Leather, Custom Leather, and Leather+ programs. The more custom flexibility you want, the higher the investment. Select Leather is value-oriented, while Leather+ offers full customization with no split leather or vinyl match.
5. Additional Services
Design consultations, extended warranties, and delivery fees can also impact your total. However, La-Z-Boy Ottawa, Gatineau & Kingston offers free in-home design services, which can help you make confident decisions without added cost. Learn more about it here.
La-Z-Boy Leather Options Explained
All La-Z-Boy leather furniture utilizes top-grain leather, but the processing method for each leather creates distinct aesthetics, levels of softness, and durability. Below, we break down each leather type offered at La-Z-Boy:
Authentic Leather (Premium Grade)
Authentic leather is La-Z-Boy’s highest quality option. It is full top grain leather with minimal processing, showcasing natural textures like wrinkles, scars, and colour variations. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece.
“Authentic leather is for customers who love the natural, luxurious look of real hide. No two pieces are ever the same, which makes it a beautiful statement in any room,” says Zina.
Soft, breathable, and temperature-responsive, this leather develops a rich patina over time. As the highest-grade option, Authentic leather furniture typically costs about 2.5 times more than fabric-covered pieces.
Nubuck Leather
Nubuck leather is lightly sanded top-grain leather with a velvety, suede-like feel. It is dyed using transparent aniline dyes, highlighting the natural beauty of the hide. While slightly more delicate than other types, it’s soft, stylish, and perfect for anyone seeking fashion-forward leather furniture.
Expect to pay around 1.75 times more than a comparable fabric frame.
Performance Leather
Performance leather is treated top grain leather with a pigmented finish, offering a smooth texture, uniform colour, and superior resistance to stains and scratches. Ideal for families and pet owners, it balances durability and elegance.
This type of leather furniture for high-traffic homes generally costs about twice as much as fabric but offers excellent longevity and easy maintenance.
