About the Shiloh Furniture Family

Referring to all furniture frames in the Shiloh furniture family, there are many unique features included.

Known as a pillowy modern frame, this furniture family features crisply tailored track arms, chunky wood legs, and welt trim.

The Shiloh also features semi-attached backs with airy blown fibre fill and supportive loose seat cushions with crisp box-border tailoring for a clean and casual look.

Although Shiloh is known as a traditionally styled furniture family, it has some similarities to an existing furniture frame called the Kennedy. 

"The Shiloh is what you'd want if you're interested in the Kennedy but also looking for a sofa bed option," Lisa says.

While this furniture frame does not come in a chair and a half, it still has many features close to this newer furniture family, including the rolled arms, decorative legs and seat style. The main difference is the seat depth, which is much deeper than the Kennedy.

Lisa says the Shiloh is also beneficial for taller users, being able to seat comfortably those between the heights of 5’10” and up. Even though this is the case, it can also seat shorter users comfortably.

While your height can be an important 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 Shiloh is right for your unique body type. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find the Right Sofa Size For You?

The Shiloh is available as a chair & a half, and a sofa.

Shiloh Furniture Family Options & Upgrades

When looking at Shiloh’s options and upgrades, there are plenty to choose from. It is important to remember that all options and upgrades come at an additional cost, meaning the price of your Shiloh furniture is subject to increase. 

Upholstery Cover Options

When selecting the fabric or leather for your Shiloh furniture, 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 Shiloh 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, Shiloh 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. 

Pillow Options

The Shiloh Chair & a Half and the Sofa come with pillows, which means you can customize those as well. You can accessorize your pillows by adding an accent colour to them, as well as contrasting welt, cording or fringe. What's more, there are also 6 select accent pillow options to choose from, which will not increase the price of your furniture.

If you want to get specific, you can also request feather padding for your pillows instead of the usual foam padding.

Sleep Sofa Upgrade

The Shiloh chair and a half and both sofas come in sleeper variations. With this option, you can easily turn your living room into a sleepable guest room.

Along with the unique features of the original frames, the Shiloh twin, full, and queen sleepers offer overnight guests a supreme comfort quilted innerspring mattress that measures 5.5” thick, no matter the size of the frame.

The sleeper mattresses can be upgraded to include a Slumber Air mattress, which is an inflatable air mattress for extra adjustability. It can also include a firmer mattress that provides a more solid sleeping surface, similar to the firm cushion upgrade.

Wood Leg Finish Options

Finally, Shiloh’s wood leg finish can also be customized. Any Shiloh furniture item comes in one of four finish options:

1. Mahogany (Base Price)
2. Coffee (Additional Cost)
3. Graphite (Additional Cost)

Shiloh Furniture Family Cost

In terms of cost, Shiloh’s products fall within the low-mid price range at La-Z-Boy. 

While the cost of the Shiloh furniture is considered quite standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered expensive in the market. 

This cost is reflected in the quality of materials and craftsmanship of our products. With this, the investment tends to be worthwhile if you are looking for long-lasting furniture.

*All La-Z-Boy prices listed in this article are subject to change. We aim to update all cost-related articles twice per year. This article was last updated on December 12th, 2025. Contact your local Ottawa, Gatineau or Kingston location by phone or in person for up-to-date pricing.

If you’re wondering about the prices for each potential upgrade from La-Z-Boy, here are the ones relevant to the Shiloh…

Shiloh Furniture Family Warranty

The Shiloh Furniture Family is covered by La-Z-Boy’s Limited Lifetime Warranty. This warranty covers the repair or replacement of the frame, spring systems, and mechanism, given that they are quality-crafted and built for long-lasting comfort.

For full details of the Limited Lifetime Warranty, check out this full La-Z-Boy warranty breakdown.

While still quality-crafted, other aspects of the product, such as fabrics, leather, and cushions, are not meant to last a lifetime. However, these parts are still covered by the La-Z-Boy Manufacturer’s Warranty for a given period of time.

To further protect your purchase, La-Z-Boy Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston offer an extended warranty plan at an additional cost. To learn more about the Extended Warranty Plan and whether it’s right for you, take a look at this article.

La-Z-Boy also has furniture financing options available to those who may not have the full amount right away. To learn more about La-Z-Boy’s Furniture Financing, take a look at this article.

Is the Shiloh Furniture Family Right For You?

Now that you know everything about the Shiloh, is this the right furniture family for you? 

In terms of functionality, the Shiloh can work well in many different-sized rooms. The apartment-size sofa is perfect for smaller spaces, while the regular sofa and chair-and-a-half combo work well in a bigger living room.

However, people with shorter than average height may not find this furniture as comfortable as those of average height. 

Lastly, the style of this furniture family is very classic. However, if you’re looking for something more slim-fitting, we recommend checking the Kennedy Sofa. To learn more about the Kennedy Furniture Family, take a look at this article.

If you are a younger family looking for something classic or traditional to add to your home, this furniture family might not be right for you.
