Review of the La-Z-Boy Ace Recliner: Rocking & Wall Recliner

Est. Reading Time: 6 Mins

Some recliners are designed to blend into the background, while others are built to make a statement through both their comfort and scale.

The La-Z-Boy Ace Recliner is one of the latter.

With its extra-tall profile, deep chaise seat and sleek, modern silhouette, the Ace is designed for taller individuals who want generous support without sacrificing contemporary style. It also introduces thoughtful features like hidden cup holders, giving it added functionality without changing its clean appearance.

To better understand how the Ace performs in everyday homes, we spoke with Leah Valiquette, Sales Consultant at La-Z-Boy Kingston.

"The Ace is a great option for taller customers who want something supportive but also appreciate a more modern look," Leah says. "The hidden cup holders are a nice surprise because they add convenience without affecting the chair's design."

But beyond its appearance, how does the Ace compare when it comes to comfort, sizing and everyday use?

In this review, we'll explore what makes the Ace unique, the available options and whether it's the right recliner for your home.

About the Ace Recliner

The Ace Recliner is designed for customers who want oversized comfort with a clean, contemporary appearance.

Unlike many oversized recliners that feature bulky cushions and rounded silhouettes, the Ace combines generous proportions with crisp lines and a streamlined profile. Its tall foam back includes subtle wing details that provide support while maintaining a modern aesthetic.

One of the Ace's standout features is its hidden tilt-out cup holders, discreetly built into the padded arms. When not in use, they remain completely concealed, preserving the chair's sleek appearance.

Leah says this feature often catches customers by surprise. "People don't realize the cup holders are there until we show them," she says. "It's a nice feature for movie nights because you get the convenience without changing the look of the recliner."

Comfort is another area where the Ace stands out. The extra-deep chaise seat, longer legrest and high-density foam cushioning create continuous support from your head down to your feet. Whether you're reading, watching television or taking an afternoon nap, the Ace is designed to provide lasting comfort.

The Wall Recliner model can also be positioned approximately 4 inches from a wall, making it a practical choice for rooms where space behind the recliner is limited.

In terms of height, the Ace Recliner is designed for extra-tall users, generally 6'3" and taller. Its taller back, elongated legrest and deeper seat provide additional support for longer legs and taller torsos.

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 in a piece of furniture can drastically affect how comfortable someone finds a seat.

This is why we highly recommend coming in-store to take a sit test to determine whether the Ace Recliner 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 Ace is available as a Rocking Recliner and a Wall Recliner.

Should You Buy the Ace Recliner?

The Ace Recliner is an excellent option for shoppers looking for a spacious, supportive recliner with a modern design.

Its tall back, elongated legrest and deep seat make it especially comfortable for extra-tall users who often struggle to find recliners that properly support their entire body.

Leah believes the Ace stands out because it combines comfort with thoughtful functionality.

"It's one of those recliners that feels substantial without looking bulky," she says. "The hidden cup holders and power upgrades make it even more enjoyable to use every day."

Another advantage is its wall recliner design, which allows it to fully recline while sitting close to the wall. This makes it easier to enjoy oversized comfort in rooms where space is limited.

However, customers who are shorter or prefer a more compact recliner may find the Ace larger than necessary. Likewise, shoppers looking for a softer, more traditional appearance may prefer another collection.

For anyone searching for an extra-tall recliner with contemporary styling, supportive comfort and convenient hidden features, the Ace is well worth considering.
