Some reclining furniture families are designed with compact support in mind, while others prioritize spacious comfort and modern relaxation.
The La-Z-Boy Apollo Furniture Family leans toward a larger, more contemporary approach.
With its plush cushioning, wide seating and supportive reclining comfort, the Apollo is designed for homeowners who want furniture that feels substantial, comfortable and built for everyday lounging.
To better understand how the Apollo performs in real homes, we spoke with Chardonnay Hayes, Sales Consultant at La-Z-Boy Kingston. “The Apollo feels very roomy and comfortable,” Chardonnay explains. “It has a more modern reclining look while still feeling soft and supportive.”
But beyond its appearance, how does the Apollo compare in terms of comfort, sizing, and everyday use?
In this review, we will walk through what makes the Apollo unique, the options available, and whether it is the right fit for your home.

One of its most noticeable features is its wide seating area and deeper seat design. Compared to more compact reclining furniture families, the Apollo offers a roomier lounging experience, allowing users to settle in more comfortably.
The frame also features plush back cushioning, padded arms, and a clean, contemporary silhouette, creating a modern appearance without sacrificing comfort.
Chardonnay notes that the Apollo is often recommended for customers who want a recliner that feels soft and spacious. “It has a much more relaxed feel overall,” she says. “People really notice the extra room and cushioning.”
Another defining feature of the Apollo is its supportive chaise-style seating, which provides continuous support from the seat to the footrest when reclined. Combined with the deeper seat depth, this helps create a more fully supported lounging experience.
Unlike more traditional oversized recliners, the Apollo maintains a cleaner, more streamlined appearance, making it well-suited for newer homes and contemporary spaces.
Because of its larger-scale, comfortable, supportive design, the Apollo works especially well in family rooms, entertainment spaces, and open-concept living areas where homeowners want reclining furniture that feels both modern and inviting.
In terms of height, the Apollo Furniture Family generally works best for average-to-taller users, especially those who prefer deeper seating and a more relaxed reclining position.
Customers who prefer firmer or more upright seating may find smaller families of reclining furniture better suited to their needs.
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 Apollo 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 Apollo is available as a Rocking Recliner, a Wall Recliner, a Reclining Loveseat, and a Reclining Sofa.

The Apollo Furniture Family is a strong option for homeowners seeking spacious reclining comfort with a more modern look. Its deeper seating and plush cushioning make it especially appealing for users who enjoy longer lounging sessions and softer support.
Chardonnay explains that the Apollo stands out because of how roomy and comfortable it feels. “It gives you that larger-scale comfort while still looking clean and updated,” she says.
Because of its wide seating area and supportive chaise design, the Apollo works especially well in family rooms, entertainment spaces and larger living areas where comfort is the priority.
Another advantage of the Apollo is its balance between modern styling and plush support. While it delivers the comfort expected of larger recliners, its cleaner silhouette makes it feel more current and less visually bulky.
However, customers who prefer more compact seating or a firmer, more upright reclining position may find smaller furniture families better suited to their needs.
For shoppers seeking comfortable reclining furniture for a family, with spacious seating and contemporary styling, the Apollo offers a well-rounded option that prioritizes relaxation and everyday usability.
What sets the Apollo apart is its ability to deliver plush, reclining comfort within a clean, contemporary design, making it a practical choice for homeowners who value both comfort and modern style.
