Unique Features of the Armitage Furniture Family

The Armitage Furniture Family is designed for homeowners who want oversized reclining comfort, advanced ergonomic support, and modular flexibility.

One of its most defining features is its zero-gravity reclining technology. Unlike traditional recliners that simply recline backward, the Armitage is designed to elevate the legs and distribute body weight more evenly across the frame.

This reclining position helps reduce pressure points and creates a more weightless, relaxed seating experience, especially during longer lounging sessions.

The frame also features deep seating, plush cushioning, and wide, padded arms, creating a softer, more inviting appearance that works especially well in family rooms and entertainment spaces.

Racha notes that the Armitage is often recommended for customers who prioritize spacious comfort. “It’s definitely one of the roomier zero gravity collections,” she says. “People really enjoy how much space they have to relax.”

Another standout feature of the Armitage is its oversized reclining Chair & a Half configuration. Unlike a standard recliner, the Chair & a Half offers additional width and lounging space, making it especially appealing for homeowners who want a more spacious personal seating option.

The Armitage sectional also allows homeowners to create larger modular seating layouts while maintaining zero-gravity reclining functionality throughout the configuration.

Like the other reclining pieces in the family, the Armitage includes a chaise-style seat, creating continuous support from the seat to the footrest when reclined.

Because of its oversized proportions and ergonomic support features, the Armitage works especially well in basements, media rooms, and larger open-concept living spaces where comfort is the main priority.

In terms of height, the Armitage Furniture Family generally works best for average-to-taller users, especially those who prefer deeper seating and an oversized lounging experience.

Customers who prefer firmer or more compact seating may find smaller reclining collections 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.

This is why we highly recommend coming in-store to take a sit test to determine whether the Armitage sectional 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 Armitage is available as a Reclining Chair & a Half, and a Reclining Sectional.

Armitage Sectional Cost

In terms of cost, Armitage’s family falls within the high-price range at La-Z-Boy. Racha says this is because it is only available in power, and power furniture is normally more expensive than manual furniture.

While the cost of the Armitage is typical for La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered expensive in the market. This cost is reflected in the quality of materials and craftsmanship of our products.

While the product is still quality-crafted, other aspects, such as fabrics, leather, and cushions, are not meant to last a lifetime. However, these parts are still covered by the La-Z-Boy Manufacturer’s Warranty for a specified period.
