Are you looking for a recliner that isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel, but has the right amount of comfort and style? Sometimes comfort is all anyone is looking for, and, with clean lines and a contemporary design, the Cassian is all you need.
The Cassian furniture family is the next biggest product at La-Z-Boy, and staff and customers can’t get enough of it.
Yaser Alimam, a design consultant at La-Z-Boy Cyrville, says, “The Cassian has feminine and masculine features, which means both men and women will love this frame!”
That being said, what else makes the Cassian so great, and is this the right furniture frame for you?

Yaser mentions that the Cassian has a similar build to the new Cade Recliner. “It is almost the same level of comfort, except that the Cassian is larger than the Cade, meaning you can fit more people with this recliner,” he says.
The back of this recliner is tall with lush lumbar support that can suit any feminine or masculine figure.
Taking a look at the sizing of the Cassian, the size of this recliner is of average height, according to Yaser.
In addition to its stylish design, the Cassian is a reclining furniture family that can accommodate a range of body sizes. Its normal height scale ensures comfortable seating for individuals between 5'4" to 5’9” in height.
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 always coming in for a sit test to see if you think the Cassian 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 Cassian is available as a Rocking Recliner, a Wall Recliner, a Reclining Loveseat, and a Reclining Sofa.

Compared to other La-Z-Boy furniture families, Cassian has plenty of customization options to choose from. Keep in mind that the cost of the Cassian furniture will increase with your selection of options and upgrades.
When selecting the fabric or leather for your Cassian Family, the cost will vary based on the grade you choose. Select fabrics will not affect the starting price of your furniture, but anything beyond that will.
This includes select leather and anything inside our leather selections at La-Z-Boy.

*Please note that this article's leather or fabric options may be discontinued or unavailable without prior notice. We recommend contacting your local Ottawa, Gatineau or Kingston La-Z-Boy store by phone or in-person to confirm availability. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by any changes to our upholstery selection.
Alongside our extensive range of covers, the Cassian is also available in specialty fabrics and leathers that offer unique features and benefits…
At an additional cost, Cassian cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning, meaning over time, your furniture will remember your unique figure and enhance the comfort of your furniture. This could be a great option for people with mobility issues, allowing you to get in and out of your furniture more comfortably.
To add more style to your La-Z-Boy manual recliner, you have the option to customize the length and material of the convenient reclining handle.
At an extra cost, you can opt to elongate the handle if you find it too short for your comfort. Additionally, you can choose from a variety of materials for the handle, including wooden, brushed nickel, or matte black. The chrome handle can also be elongated, matching the wooden one in size.
What’s more, for all left-handed users, you can change your handle from the standard right side to the left. This also comes at an additional cost.
If you're interested, the Cassian rocking recliner is available with a swivel base for an extra cost. La-Z-Boy's swivel bases provide a 360-degree rotation, allowing you to easily turn and face any direction.
You can also upgrade your swivel base to a power swivel recliner, which can swivel at the touch of a button. The power swivel base, however, only rotates 165 degrees to prevent the power cord from getting tangled within the furniture frame.
To learn more about our power swivel options, check out our review of our Swivel Power Recliners.
You can upgrade the Cassian Recliner to power.
Unlike manual furniture that uses a handle or latch, power recliners come with a control panel or a wireless remote for easy reclining at the touch of a button. You can also adjust the headrest support with this convenient feature.
The adjustable headrest allows you to move the head of the recliner from 0-55 degrees, giving you more range of motion with your reclining positions.
You can also control the lower lumbar area of your recliner with the wireless remote. In this case, the lumbar support can expand 3 inches out or deflate to perfectly match the unique curvature of your lumbar spine.
What’s more, the recliners have USB ports next to the control panels to charge your electronic devices and two memory settings that allow you to save any of your favourite relaxing positions. This way, you can easily recline back to the position you favour quickly and accurately.
If you need help learning about the controls, check out La-Z-Boy Power Furniture: How to Use the Control Panel & Remote.
All power upgrades can be cordless, thanks to our rechargeable battery pack. With this, you can place your power recliners anywhere without worrying about plugging them into an electrical outlet.

The Cassian Loveseat has the option to include a console in the middle of the seat. This handy center console adds extra storage.
Cupholders are also included, meaning you can sit back and relax without getting up to grab a drink. Furthermore, the console features an interior electronic charging input, in addition to the ports located outside the loveseat, and a light-up function, allowing you to easily see your drinks in the dark.
If the console is something that interests you, you can also add Power with Headrest and Lumbar upgrades to enhance your Cassian Loveseat into a truly comfortable experience.
Regarding cost, the Cassian furniture products fall within the mid-price range at La-Z-Boy.
While the cost of the Cassian furniture is considered quite standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered more expensive on the market. This cost is reflected in the quality of materials and craftsmanship of our products. With this, the investment tends to be worthwhile if you are looking for long-lasting furniture.

Although you now have the information you need to make an informed decision about purchasing the Cassian furniture, is it the right furniture for you?
Let’s take a look at a few last-minute factors to consider before leaving you with your decision.
As for the functionality of the space, the Cassian is a great choice for anyone looking to furnish a small or large space and have a contemporary-style furniture piece.
However, Yaser says the Cassian can be a bit selective with its sizing in small spaces, so it’s important to Measure Your Space to see if this reclining family is right for your home.
Yaser also says that this recliner is more contemporary than traditional, which might not be everyone’s preferred choice. If you’re looking for something more traditional or something that’ll fit a smaller person, Yaser recommends trying out something like the Pinnacle Recliner.
