Are you looking for something that takes up a lot of room? Sometimes, you may be looking for a furniture piece that can sit in a corner, not taking up too much space.

But, other times, you may be looking for something that covers a lot of ground. This can be especially true for someone looking to furnish an open-concept space. So, what kind of furniture can fit well in a large room and take up a lot of space? A sectional, of course!

Zina Chaban, a design consultant at La-Z-Boy Hunt Club, says that the Maddox is a very unique furniture family because it comes in many frame combinations unique to this frame.

But how does the Maddox stand out from other furniture products at La-Z-Boy, and is this the right furniture family for you? This article will delve into detail regarding the Maddox and explain its unique features, cost and even real customer reviews.

About the Maddox Furniture Family

The Maddox is a bold and modern recliner that features strong and simple lines, creating a fresh look. Its extra-wide reclining back and waterfall chaise seat create a spacious appearance for an inviting vibe.

Speaking of its spacious look, the Maddox is very wide, making it one of the wider sectionals at our disposal. According to Zina, its wide appearance rivals our ever-popular Paxton Sectional, which has the widest seats on a sectional from our selection.

"The style is very modern and also appeals to younger audiences," she says.

Regarding the size and dimensions of the Maddox, the size is larger than most, as mentioned before. This means that it would not be suitable for a small space. 

Looking at who would sit comfortably in the Maddox, anyone between the heights of 5’10” and 6’2” would be best complemented in these furniture items. This means that the Maddox has a taller back that compliments slightly taller individuals.

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 Maddox 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 Maddox is available as a Rocking Recliner, a Wall Recliner, a Reclining Chair and a Half, a 2-Seater Reclining Sofa and a Reclining Sectional.

Maddox Furniture Family Options & Upgrades

Compared to other La-Z-Boy furniture families, Maddox has plenty of customization options to choose from. Keep in mind that the cost of the Maddox furniture will increase with your selection of options and upgrades.  

Upholstery Cover Options

When selecting the fabric or leather for your Maddox furniture 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.

For a comprehensive understanding of La-Z-Boy's upholstery grades, check out this article. 

*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 Maddox is also available in specialty fabrics and leathers that offer unique features and benefits…

  • Stain Resistant: Innovative iClean Technology surrounds each fabric fibre, creating a barrier that repels spills before turning 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 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.
  • Energy Restoration: Restore by Nanobionic® features a mineral-based fabric coating that transforms natural body heat into energy using infrared technology.
  • Bleach Cleanable: These comfortable and resilient fabrics can withstand diluted bleach products for the toughest stains.

     

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, Maddox 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.

Optional Swivel Base

If you're interested, the Maddox 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.

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest & Lumbar Support

You can upgrade the Maddox 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.

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.

Is the Maddox Furniture Family Right For You?

Now that you know about the Maddox furniture family, the question remains if this is the right furniture for you. 

In terms of functionality, the Maddox is a larger furniture piece and suits taller users. If you’re looking to furnish a small room and you’re shorter than average height, you may want to consider more options. To see some La-Z-Boy Recliners for Shorter People, take a look at this article.

If you’re looking for something smaller, the only selection Zina suggests from the Maddox that would suit a smaller space is the regular rocker or wall recliner. "But, this could also take up quite a bit of space due to its bulky stance," she says.

If you’re interested in seeing La-Z-Boy Sofas for Small Spaces, take a look at this article.

Lastly, looking at the style of the Maddox, Zina says that this furniture frame has a bold appearance, taking on a modern aesthetic. However, some may think that its loud personality may clash with other furniture pieces. If you’re looking for less statement pieces, contemporary styles may be more up your alley.
