Ever heard of the saying “the bigger, the better?” For recliners, some people are looking for a great big recliner to sink into and enjoy relaxation to the fullest.
However, that isn’t the case for everyone. Some people aren’t looking for bigger; sometimes, going smaller is better.
That’s why we look out for the little guy with our smaller recliners. Take the Collage Recliner, for example. Sandra El-Nounou, a design consultant at La-Z-Boy Hunt Club, tells us, “The Collage is a great recliner for any small person in your family.”
But you might wonder, is the Collage the right fit for my style and needs? This article will review the Collage as well as take a look at what other customers have to say about this furniture frame.

- Is the Collage Recliner Right For You?
Unique Features
First thing first, let’s discuss some of the unique features of the Collage Recliner.
The Collage Recliner is a family favourite that’s easy to love, according to Sandra. She notes that the main feature that stands out for this recliner is that it has a petite scale. In fact, it might be one of our smaller recliners currently in our showrooms.
The Collage recliner offers a modern take on traditional style, blending timeless comfort with a transitional design that seamlessly fits into any room. Its updated look and versatile design make it the perfect addition to any home.
The Collage features padded flared arms, a decorative pull in the back cushion, and a bullnose seat, meaning the edges are rounded.
Simply use the convenient handle on the outside right arm to recline in multiple comfortable positions. There is the option to place the handle on the left side. Make sure to ask your design consultant if this is an option that interests you.
The Collage is available as a Rocking or a Wall Recliner. The rocker recliner is a type of chair that combines the gentle swaying motion of a rocking chair with the comfortable support of a recliner, making it a popular choice for those who want to relax and unwind after a long day.
The wall recliner, on the other hand, allows you to recline fully while still placed mere inches from a wall. Most recliners need 9 inches of space, whereas wall recliners need only 4-6 inches. A very effective option if you live in a small space.
Sizes & Dimensions
The size & dimensions may not be the first thing on someone’s mind when purchasing a recliner but is actually a big factor to consider. Before purchasing any new furniture, it is important to Measure Your Room.
As mentioned before, the Collage is small in scale, meaning those looking for a recliner in a small space might have room for this size of chair. To learn more about Recliners for Small Spaces, take a look at this article.
We believe this recliner will best complement shorter people. Specifically, those between the heights of 5’4” and under may benefit from the Collage the most.
However, this is a general estimation. Ultimately, we recommend that you visit a La-Z-Boy showroom and take the Collage for a sit test with the help of a La-Z-Boy design consultant.

The Collage offers the following wood finish options:
- Mahogany (Base Price)
- Coffee (Additional Cost)
Cost
In terms of cost, Collage’s modern recliners fall within the low to the mid-price range at La-Z-Boy. To learn more, check out the Cost of Recliners at La-Z-Boy.
Sandra says this recliner is “a more budget-friendly option compared to other recliners.”
While the cost of the Collage is quite standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered 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.

Star reviews can only tell you so much. Here is what reviewers are honestly saying about the Collage Recliner…
Is the Collage Recliner Right For You?
Now that you have all the information on the Collage Recliner, the question you might still be asking yourself is if this furniture product is right for you.
To help answer this question, let’s take a look at the price, functionality, and style of the Collage one last time.
To begin, the aforementioned price of the Collage Recliner is a little less expensive than other recliners at La-Z-Boy. However, La-Z-Boy is considered more expensive than other furniture stores around.
If you’re looking to invest in your furniture product, the Collage, along with other La-Z-Boy items may be what you’re looking for. To see a list of all our other Affordable Recliners, take a look at this article.
Turning to functionality, this recliner is a little unique because it does not come in power. Most Recliners at La-Z-Boy have the option to become a Power Recliner. Sandra notes that some of our smaller recliners, unfortunately, do not have the option to upgrade to power.
If you are looking for a similar option to the Collage, Sandra recommends the Pinnacle Recliner, it has a small scale and comparable in style.
As mentioned, this recliner may be suited for a shorter scale. If you’re looking for a taller recliner, we recommend looking at our article Recliners for Tall People.
Sandra describes the style of the Collage recliner as transitional, allowing it to complement various settings. However, she suggests that its design may appeal more to an older demographic than a younger one.
“This recliner resembles a lot of traditional-looking recliners with a modern twist,” she says, “So because of that, and because it is so small, I could see a petite older woman purchasing this recliner.”
She also says that not just older women will enjoy the Collage. “I’ve seen all age ranges buy this recliner so it can work with anyone if you allow it to.”

Now that you have a better understanding of the petite Collage Recliner, you can make an informed decision on whether this furniture frame is the right option for you.
