Review of La-Z-Boy’s Jean Bronze Power Lift Recliner

Est. Reading Time: 6 Mins

At La-Z-Boy, there is a lot of reclining furniture to choose from. Since we are the inventors of the modern recliner, it would be a shame if we didn’t have such a vast selection.

As much as our reclining selection is big, some products come and go, which allows newer styles to freshen up the showroom floor.

This has been desperately needed for our Lift Chair selection, which has needed some fresh and exciting looks. Since the discontinuation of older products, we have only had four lift chairs to choose from, leaving those wanting more variety.

So, with the introduction of our latest new lift chairs, like the Jean Lift Recliner, we can now invigorate the selection with a new style that is sure to please new customers.

This article will highlight the unique features of the Jean Power Lift Recliner, as well as its cost, customer reviews, and whether this recliner is right for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Exceptional Comfort: The Jean Lift Recliner features an elegant design with modern lift functionality.
• Compact Design: Ideal for smaller spaces, such as retirement homes or apartments.
• Multiple Cover Options: Available in 5 select fabrics. There are no leather selections available for lift recliners.
• Durable Build: Constructed with high-quality materials for long-lasting use.
• Low-Priced Recliner: The Jean Lift Recliner has a starting cost of $1,469.

About the Jean Lift Recliner

The Jean Bronze Power Lift Recliner offers a sleek and sophisticated transitional style on a smaller scale that is sure to complement any room you put it in. With a transitional piece, this lift recliner can blend in with just about anything. 

Along with its transitional style, this lift recliner features softly curved arms that provide a fresh silhouette, an ultra-plush back that creates an elegant rounded look, and a convenient storage pouch on the side of the frame.

The Jean also features a smooth and empowering lift assist functionality, which offers help for those needing a boost off their butt and on their feet.

Using the ergonomically designed backlit wired remote, you can sit, stand, or fully recline at the touch of a button.

The seat and back move together in one smooth motion, eliminating gaps and providing full body support in all reclining positions. The power lift recliner also features a power tilt and independent back and legrest motion.

Because the Jean is a Bronze Power Lift Recliner, this chair only features simple power reclining features and does not have added luxuries like an adjustable headrest, lumbar support.

Regarding the size & dimensions of the Jean, the size is smaller than other lift recliners at La-Z-Boy, making it perfect for smaller rooms in retirement homes or an apartment. 

The Jean is also best suited for someone who is shorter to average height, specifically those between the heights of 5’9” and under.

It’s true! 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. 

This is why we highly recommend coming in-store and taking a sit test to determine if the Jean 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.

• Antimicrobial Fabric: Antimicrobial properties surround each fibre to protect against mould, mildew and odour-causing bacteria.
• Performance: Superior stain and fade resistance properties make fabrics easy to clean and incredibly durable.
• Eco-Friendly: Conserve Sustainable Fabrics are soft, durable and made from recycled water bottles.

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, Jean cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning, meaning that 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. 

Handle Options 

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 wood, 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.

Rechargeable Battery Pack-Add-On

The Jean Lift Power Recliner requires a power source, but if you prefer your chair not to be tethered to a wall, consider purchasing the Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack. 

For $300, this battery pack replaces the Jean’s corded power supply, allowing you to place it anywhere in the room.
