Some recliners are designed to look modern and tailored, while others focus on delivering a more traditional and familiar comfort experience. The La-Z-Boy Morrison Furniture Family leans toward that classic approach.
With its rolled arms, plush cushioning and supportive seating, the Morrison offers a timeless design that feels comfortable and recognizable the moment you sit down.
To better understand how the Morrison performs in real homes, we spoke with Mary Lee Smyth, the Interior Designer at La-Z-Boy Kingston. “The Morrison is one of those tried and true styles,” Mary Lee explains. “It’s very comfortable and has that classic look a lot of people still love.”
But beyond its traditional appearance, how does the Morrison compare in comfort, fit, and everyday use?
In this review, we will walk through what makes the Morrison unique, the options available, and whether it is the right fit for your home.

One of its most noticeable features is its rolled arms and plush cushioning, which give it a softer, more familiar appearance than more modern recliners. The back cushion is designed to provide consistent support across the upper body, helping users stay comfortable whether sitting upright or reclining.
Mary Lee notes that the Morrison is often chosen by customers who prefer a more traditional look. “It’s a style that people recognize right away,” she says. “It feels comfortable and familiar.”
Another key feature of the Morrison is its compact frame, which makes it easier to fit in smaller spaces without sacrificing full reclining functionality. The Morrison also includes a chaise-style seat, providing continuous support from the seat to the footrest when reclined.
In terms of height, the Morrison Furniture Family generally works best for shorter- to average-height users, especially those who prefer a more upright and supportive seating position.
It can accommodate a range of users, but those looking for deeper seating may prefer other frames.
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.
Ultimately, we recommend always coming in for a sit test to see whether the Morrison is comfortable for your body type. To learn more, take a look at How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.
The Morrison is available as a Rocking Recliner, Wall Recliner, Reclining Loveseat, and Reclining Sofa.

Mary Lee explains that the Morrison remains popular because of its familiarity. “It’s one of those styles people keep coming back to,” she says.
Because of its compact size and upright seating position, the Morrison works especially well in smaller living rooms or spaces where a larger recliner might feel overwhelming.
