Brooks Family (Available Frame Options)
The Brooks family offers casual comfort in a variety of shapes and sizes, ideal for both individual and shared comfort. At La-Z-Boy, we offer a Brooks Recliner, a Brooks Reclining Loveseat, and a Brooks Reclining Sofa.
Brooks Recliner
The Brooks Recliner is classic. With padded arms, a tall back, and tailored stitching, the Brooks Recliner offers an updated take on the traditional La-Z-Boy recliner. Depending on your preferences, the Brooks is offered as a Rocking Recliner or a Wall Recliner.
When you’re not reclining, the Brooks Rocking Recliner acts as a relaxing rocker with a smooth, graceful motion.
The Brooks Wall Recliner can be placed mere inches from the wall.
Both the rocking and wall recliners are available in either manual or power. In power, the Brooks recliners offer the additional upgrade of an adjustable headrest and lumbar support. Learn more about power in the options and upgrades section of the article.
Brooks Loveseat
The Brooks Reclining Loveseat is ideal for a couple who loves to snuggle up to one another. In fact, friends and other loved ones can also experience shared comfort in the Brooks Loveseat.
The Brooks Loveseat is offered in both manual and power options. Further, the Brooks Loveseat is offered with a console, and in power, you can upgrade for an adjustable headrest.
Brooks Sofa
The Brooks Reclining Sofa serves comfort for all! With three spacious cushions, the Brooks Sofa is available in manual and power.
Like the Brooks Loveseat, in power, the Brooks Reclining Sofa can be upgraded to feature an adjustable headrest.
Unique Features
As previously mentioned, the Brooks furniture family is a casual blend of comfort and function, apart of the Family Favourites furniture style at La-Z-Boy. A thinner back, smaller arm posts, and top-stitching give the Brooks a clean look and tailored silhouette.
Although the Brooks appears plush with generously sized chaise seats, Racha says the cushions offer firm support. In comparison to a seat that you might sink into, the Brooks has more of a flat seat that offers a supportive embrace.
These high-grade foam cushions are constructed to maintain their comfort and appearance over time. Further, the Brooks is filled with double-picked blown fiberfill for improved cushion loft and shape retention
For more detailed information on cushions, take a look at the Review of La-Z-Boy’s Chair and Sofa Seat Cushions.
The Brooks products also have the ability to recline and raise your feet independently, providing a continuous zone of comfort. In the manual, simply pull the handle on the right side of the chair. In power, effortlessly use the 4-button control panel mounted on the outside arm.
The power Brooks furniture also features a built-in USB port for conveniently powering mobile devices.
Finally, the Brooks can take on any look as it is customizable in a variety of premium-grade fabrics and leathers that are tested to resist wear and fading. Depending on your style and preferences, the Brooks furniture family can seamlessly blend with an array of room styles.
Size & Dimensions
Whether you intend on purchasing the recliner, loveseat, or sofa, it is important that the size of your Brooks product is the right fit for you and your space!
When it comes to size, Racha says the Brooks furniture is not too big, nor too small. As an average-sized piece of furniture, the Brooks is versatile.
Although the Brooks furniture is average-sized, it is still crucial to measure your room in order to ensure that you have enough space for it to fit comfortably.
Moreover, it is important to not only consider how the Brooks products will fit into your space but also how they will support your unique body type. Generally speaking, the Brooks furniture is best suited for individuals of an average height, between 5’4” and 5’9”.
With this being said, the supportive cushioning of the Brooks can still provide comfort to those who fall below or above this height range.
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.

Options & Upgrades
Everything at La-Z-Boy is customizable, including the Brooks furniture family.
Whether you are purchasing the Brooks recliner, loveseat, or sofa you have the ability to make it uniquely yours with a variety of options and upgrades.
Fabric & Leather Options
With over 800 fabrics and leathers to choose from, customers have a wide variety of colours, textures, and patterns to suit every taste and style.
When choosing fabrics, the Brooks comes in 10 select fabric covers with 2 different textures. Select fabrics are specifically chosen to match a particular furniture frame and do not affect the starting price.
As for leather options, the Brooks is limited to recycled leather and leather match. It's important to remember that choosing any type of leather will result in additional costs for the furniture. 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, choosing fabric or leather is up to you if you’re willing to spend more on leather products.
Please note that this article's leather or fabric options may be discontinued or unavailable without prior notice. We recommend contacting your local Ottawa 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 Brooks is also available in specialty fabrics that offer unique features and benefits…
Stain Resistant
Innovative iClean technology surrounds each fabric fiber, creating a barrier that repels spills before they turn into stains.
Pet Friendly
Tested and formulated to withstand the scratches and wear that a pet can cause, to ensure a durable and easily washable fabric.
Antimicrobial
Antimicrobial properties surround each fiber to protect against mould, mildew, and odour-causing bacteria.
Performance
Superior stain and fade-resistant properties make these fabrics easy to clean and incredibly durable.
Eco Friendly
Conserve Sustainable Fabrics are soft, durable, and made from recycled water bottles.
Energy Restoration
Restore by Nanobionic® features a mineral-based fabric coating that transforms natural body heat into energy using infrared technology.
Cushion Upgrade
At an additional cost, Brooks 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.
For more information on whether this upgrade is right for you, view our Motion Furniture Collection catalogue.
Optional Swivel Base
If you're interested, the Brooks 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 into 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 Swivel Chair options, check out our list of Swivel Accent Chairs.
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 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.
Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest & Lumbar
You can upgrade the Brooks recliners, loveseat and sofa to power.
Instead of using a handle or a latch, like with manual furniture, the power recliner has a wireless remote on the right side of the chair. With this, you can recline at the touch of a button, as well as control the adjustable headrest support.
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, as well as 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 with 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.
To learn more about battery packs, read this Review of the Rechargeable Battery Pack offered at La-Z-Boy.

Console (Loveseat)
The Brooks Loveseat has the option to include a console in the middle of the seat. This handy center console adds extra storage.
Cup holders are also included, meaning you can sit back and relax without getting up to grab a drink. Further, the console offers an interior electronic charging input instead of the ports outside the loveseat, as well as a light-up function, so you can easily see your drinks in the dark.
Cost
The products in the Brooks furniture family fall within the mid-price bracket on the market, while falling within the lower price bracket offered at La-Z-Boy.
While the cost of the Brooks is considered standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered more expensive in the market. This cost is reflected in the quality of materials and craftsmanship of our products.
