And with smart furniture accessories becoming more and more integrated into our daily lives, the Neo is the perfect example of this. So, the Neo definitely stands out from other recliner selections, but is this La-Z-Boy chair right for you?

About the Neo Power Recliner

Firstly, let’s start with some unique features. Taking a look at this recliner, you’ll notice a few things. 

The Neo Power Recliner boasts a sleek design, featuring subtle detailing and plush cushions for ultimate relaxation. Its soft foam and blown fiber box-border back enhance comfort, while the streamlined track arms are equipped with practical features. On the left side, there's a wireless charging tray, and on the right, a cupholder along with an accessory grommet for a tablet holder or tray.

What's more, in addition to its stylish features, the Neo recliner offers convenient storage options with push-in bins located on both sides of the arms. This allows users to keep essential items close at hand for easy access. The recliner is powered, featuring a control panel or a wireless remote for effortless reclining at the touch of a button.

Further, the adjustable headrest allows for movement from 0-55 degrees, providing a customizable reclining experience. Users can also control the lumbar support with the remote, expanding it up to 3 inches or deflating it to suit their spine's curvature. The recliner includes two memory settings for users to save their favorite reclining positions for quick access.

To help you decide if the headrest & lumbar upgrade is right for you, check out the Review of La-Z-Boy Power Recliners with the Headrest & Lumbar Feature.

Yaser mentions that, although the Neo is a good choice for a small space, it can take up a bit of room horizontally on all sides. "Because of the push-in storage bins, users will also have to think about spatial awareness on the left and right sides of the recliner instead of just thinking about the front and back areas," he says.

However, because of its taller back, the Neo can suit a wide range of individuals between the ranges of 5’4” to 6 feet.

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 Neo Recliner 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.

The Neo is available as a Rocking Recliner and a Wall Recliner.

Neo Power Recliner Options & Upgrades

The Neo Recliner comes with a variety of options and upgrades to enhance your comfort and style:

Upholstery Cover Options

When selecting the fabric or leather for your Neo Recliner, 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 Neo is also available in specialty fabrics 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, Neo 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. 

Optional Swivel Base

If you're interested, the Neo 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.

Is the Neo Power Recliner Right For You?

Now that you know everything you need to know about the Neo power recliner, it is time to figure out if this recliner chair is right for you.

In terms of functionality, Yaser says the Neo has many pros for staying in it for a long time. "Not only does it fit many sizes and heights, but it is also the largest recliner we have," he says. This doesn't take into consideration the Summit Series, which you can learn more about with this article. 

However, the Neo may not be right for smaller spaces, because it does need space to not only recline but to push open the side storage bins on either side of the furniture item. If you are looking for a recliner for small spaces, take a look at this article.

Lastly, the Neo’s style is pretty generic as a whole, making it suitable for all kinds of spaces, depending on the fabric or leather cover added to it. "Because the Neo has many accessories attached to it, those add-ons compensate for a lack of stylish flair that other recliners have," Yaser says.

The Neo is also perfect for someone who is looking to stay in their recliner for a long time. It can also be great for someone who may have a harder time moving and would prefer to stay in one spot until they need to get up and move around again. Elderly individuals may also enjoy the power option since it is easier to maneuver around than a manual recliner handle.
