A Review of the La-Z-Boy Urban Attitudes Collection

PLEASE NOTE: The Urban Attitudes Collection has been discontinued at La-Z-Boy.

Does the thought of mixing furniture to create a cohesive, well-designed room make your head spin?  It may seem like an impossible task given the sheer volume of available furniture options. Look no further than the La-Z-Boy Urban Attitudes® Collection.  It allows for simple furniture coordination without perfectly matching. Plus, the number of versatile pieces and cover options gives you the ability to infuse your style.

 

Purchasing an entire matching furniture set is a decorating mistake you will want to avoid if your goal is to inject some personality and visual interest into your space. Whether you love decorating or you’ve never heard of tufting, the Urban Attitudes Collection offers styles that are easily mixed and matched to make design simple.

 

Mixing and matching furniture can bring a sense of style to a room.  Whether you’re trying to stay on budget or stay within a specific style, the Urban Attitudes Collection is the perfect choice to match your sofas, ottomans and chairs seamlessly.

What is Urban Attitudes?

 

A fresh collection of sofas, loveseats, chairs and ottomans, Urban Attitudes is a contemporary twist on classic styles. The line of premium crafted furniture boasts clean lines and designer details that coordinate seamlessly. 

 

As inventors of the reclining chair back in 1927, you can rest comfortably knowing styles and frames offered in the Collection possess 90 years of innovative design experience.

 

The Collection is designed to simplify mixing furniture to create a modern living space that’s chic and stylish, yet fun and functional. The name of each piece has an urban flare.  Moreover, the beautiful textures, vibrant colours and bolder patterns on dozens of specially selected fabrics evoke the spirit of the Collection.

 

Furniture in the Urban Attitudes series is fully customizable, helping ensure each piece is unique. From nailhead trim to contrasting welts to feather accent pillows to optional wood finishes, you can make each piece uniquely your own.

Mix and match from dozens of unique styles, covers, and finishes to create a comfortable, cohesive, and stylish room.

Mixing Product Styles in 3 Simple Design Steps

Step 1 | Select Your Urban Attitudes Sofa (2 Styles)

 

Your dream room starts with the right sofa. Designed to be customized, Urban Attitude sofas, loveseats and sectional pair seamlessly with other frames from the collection. From classic to contemporary, choose one to match your unique style and needs.

 

At La-Z-Boy, we believe there is a ‘right’ seat for everyone considering body dimensions.  Make sure the Urban Attitudes sofa or chair seat height, depth and width are made explicitly for you.

 

 

ALEXANDRIA SOFA AND LOVESEAT

An updated take on the classic Chesterfield design, the Alexandria sofa isn’t afraid to make a statement.  Its tight back boasts button tufting in a diamond pattern that’s both distinctive and unique. Extra cushioning softens Alexandria’s sloped rolled arms while adding a modern twist. Slender, tapered wood legs complete the stately silhouette.

Upgrades and Options For the Urban Attitudes Collection

 

Take some time to investigate your options so that your new furniture doesn’t suit your home; it suits your way of living. Furniture options are easy add-ons for minimal up-charges and a great way to make sure you are getting one that is precisely right for you. The Urban Attitudes series has various customizations, but some upgrades and options noted below may only be available on specific styles and frames.

Upholstery / Cover Options

 

Your choice of fabric or leather upholstery is a pivotal decision when selecting a sofa for your home. Styles in the Urban Attitudes Collection have hundreds of fabric and leather cover options outside of the pre-selected iClean swatches to custom-create a look that’s uniquely yours. Choose from the latest colours, patterns and textures. There are options to suit every style and budget.

 

A subset of covers are available in “conserve” fabric. Soft, durable, and sustainable fabric made out of recycled water bottles. This eco-friendly material uses as many as 100 recycled water bottles to cover a standard sofa.

 

As with conventional furniture fabrics, conserve covers are wear-tested for safety, quality and durability. So, they stay comfortable and beautiful for years after delivery. They come in a wide range of colours and patterns to complement your room.

 

If you have pets, you might consider taking advantage of our Pet-Friendly fabric that has a high level of cleanability and durability, including the iClean technology.

 

Another specialty fabric option at La-Z-Boy is the antimicrobial fabric. This fabric protects against mould, mildew, and odour-causing bacteria

Seat Cushions 

 

At an additional cost, firmer seat options are available, plus you can choose to upgrade both the seat and back cushions.
 
 
Please note that furniture purchased prior to January 2021 had the option to upgrade to ComfortCore® GEL seat cushions. This cushion has seven layers of comfort technology that includes gel-infused memory foam that provides exceptional support as it conforms to your body. 

Wood Finish

 

Give your sofa legs a completely custom look with a different wood finish. Match your current décor or add striking contrast. Sofas in the Urban Attitudes Collection come standard in a brown mahogany finish with three optional finishes: coffee, graphite, driftwood.

Contrasting Welt Trim

 

Welt trim provides a tailored look to cushions and pillows but takes on an entirely new dimension in a contrasting colour. An unexpected touch, this decorative detail adds instant personality and highlights the sculptural lines of any silhouette.

NailHead Trim 

 

Commonly used in more traditional pieces, nailhead trim is making a comeback. It accentuates the design lines of sofas, adding a handcrafted look that is both rustic and contemporary. Some Urban Attitudes styles have brass, platinum and black nailhead colour options.

Pillows

 

Are you looking for that perfect accent piece? Sofas from Urban Attitudes Collection come with matching pillows.  But if you are going for a bolder look, you can opt to get them in a contrasting cover that will set your furniture apart. Also, you can choose to add either a cord or fringe pillow edge treatment.

 

Add down fill feathers and upgrade your pillows to FeatherLite Comfort.

What people are saying about the Urban Attitudes Collection:

Star - Review
Best fit for my Alexandria condo!
“I fell in love with this sofa and loveseat, and when I found out it was in stock, I was sold! Very comfortable, sophisticated, and can blend with many types of decor. With the back as it is, they are not as deep in floor space but still have plenty of seat depth. I’m 5’10”. This gives me more room in my dining area. Excellent for small spaces. Never would have expected something this pretty from La-Z-Boy!”  JULIA L.

Great purchase!
“Love my new Bexley sofa and love seat. They work perfectly in my sunroom. I like the style, the firm cushions and that it is not too deep for my feet to reach the floor when I sit there! We have had this set for approximately 6 months.”  BARBRA W.
