Est. Reading Time: 7 Mins

When living in a small space, you’ll want to look for furniture that isn’t too bulky. With this in mind, you may have written off recliners because they tend to be big and bulky, taking up a lot of room. 

But what if there was a recliner with a small footprint, perfect for small spaces? Well, at La-Z-Boy, we have many different recliners to choose from, including recliners with smaller frames.

Take the Casey Recliner, for example. Elaina Sollychin, a design consultant at La-Z-Boy Hunt Club, tells us that “the Casey is actually one of our smallest recliners at La-Z-Boy.”

Besides the size of the Casey, what other features might make this recliner the right choice for you? This article will fill you in on everything you need to know about the Casey, including unique features, cost, and customer reviews.

Unique Features

The first thing that we will be discussing is the Casey Recliner’s unique features.

To begin, the Casey combines a contemporary furniture style with classic reclining comfort. The Casey features a streamlined look with modern lines and gently flared and rounded track arms.

It also features a multichambered back, which allows the user to sit properly in the middle of the recliner for optimal head and lumbar support. Simply use the convenient handle on the outside arm to recline effortlessly.

Elaina says that this is good for anyone who may need more support in their lower back area or for their neck.

The Casey Recliner comes in two different recliner types: a rocking recliner and a wall recliner. The rocking recliner allows the user to rock in a smooth and graceful motion, while the wall recliner can be placed mere inches away from a wall while still being able to recline fully.

Size & Dimensions

The size & dimensions of a recliner matter greatly when determining how the furniture will look in a room. It is always good practice to Measure Your Room to ensure that the furniture fits comfortably in your space.

As mentioned before, the Casey is built with a petite scale, meaning this recliner does not take up as much space as other available recliners. Elaina says that the Casey “is perfect for small condos, apartments, and other small spaces in general.”

It is also important that the size and dimensions of the recliner are right for your body type, providing the right amount of support. The Casey is most comfortable for shorter individuals between the heights of 5’4”-5’9”.

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 furniture item can drastically affect how someone might find a seat comfortable.

Ultimately, we recommend that you visit a La-Z-Boy showroom and take the Casey for a sit test with the help of a La-Z-Boy design consultant. To learn more, check out our article on How to Find a Recliner that is the Best Fit For You?

Fabric & Leather Options

La-Z-Boy has over 800 fabrics and leathers to choose from, making the experience of personalizing your furniture seemingly endless.

The Casey recliner has 6 select fabric covers that are chosen to compliment its unique frame. Elaina says you can choose between sangria, sisal, pearl, khaki, sable, or lake covers. 

These select fabrics do not have an additional fee to the starting price. Should you choose to purchase any fabrics or leathers that are not included in Casey’s select fabric selection, you will be subjected to an additional fee. 

Further, Elaina says that Casey’s leather options are only limited to recycled/faux leather. You can learn more about La-Z-Boy’s Leather Selection by checking out this article.

Leather options, even select leather, will always increase the overall cost. Ultimately, the choice of choosing fabric or leather is up to you if you’re willing to spend extra cash on leather products.
