Some recliners are designed to feel compact and casual, while others are built to provide a larger-scale seating experience with enhanced support.
The La-Z-Boy Redwood Recliner leans toward that larger-scale approach.
With its tall back, wide seat and plush cushioning, the Redwood is designed for homeowners who want a recliner that feels spacious, supportive and comfortable for extended relaxation.
To better understand how the Redwood performs in real homes, we spoke with Racha Pharaon, Sales Consultant at La-Z-Boy Kanata. “The Redwood is definitely built for comfort,” Racha explains. “People who want more room and support usually gravitate toward it.”
But beyond its size, how does the Redwood compare in terms of comfort, customization, and everyday use?
In this review, we will walk through what makes the Redwood unique, the options available, and whether it is the right fit for your home.

One of its most defining features is its oversized proportions and taller back design. Compared to more compact recliners, the Redwood offers additional room throughout the seat and back, helping create a more open and relaxed seating experience.
The frame also features generously padded arms and plush cushioning, giving the recliner a softer, more traditional look that works especially well in casual family rooms and entertainment spaces.
Racha notes that the Redwood is often recommended for customers who want a recliner with extra room to stretch out. “It has a much bigger feel overall,” she says. “People who want more space usually notice the difference right away.”
Another defining feature of the Redwood is its deep chaise-style seat, which provides continuous support from the seat to the footrest when reclined. Combined with the taller backrest, this helps create fuller body support during longer lounging sessions.
Despite its larger size, the Redwood still provides enough support for everyday activities like reading, watching TV, or having conversations.
Because of its broader proportions, the Redwood works especially well in larger living rooms, home theatres, or open-concept spaces where homeowners want a more substantial recliner.
In terms of height, the Redwood Recliner generally works best for taller or broader users, especially those who prefer deeper seating and a more spacious reclining position.
Shorter users or customers looking for a more compact recliner may find smaller frames more suitable.
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 on a piece of furniture can drastically affect how comfortable you find a seat.
This is why we highly recommend coming in-store to take a sit test to determine whether the Redwood 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 Redwood Recliner is a strong option for homeowners who want a spacious recliner with enhanced comfort and support. Its larger scale makes it especially appealing for users who want more room to stretch out and relax.
Racha explains that the Redwood stands out for feeling roomy. “It’s one of those recliners where people immediately notice the extra space and support,” she says.
Because of its wide seating area and supportive chaise, the Redwood works well for extended lounging sessions, movie nights, or everyday relaxation. The taller back also provides more complete upper-body support for larger users.
Another advantage of the Redwood is its ability to deliver a traditional recliner feel while still maintaining a clean enough silhouette to work in modern family spaces.
However, customers who prefer a more compact recliner or a firmer, more upright seating position may find smaller models better suited to their needs.
For shoppers seeking a larger recliner with plush comfort and ample support, the Redwood offers a well-rounded option that prioritizes relaxation and everyday usability.
What sets the Redwood apart is its ability to deliver full-body reclining comfort in a spacious, supportive design, making it a practical choice for homeowners who value spaciousness and long-term comfort.
