About the Talladega Furniture Family

Regarding unique features, the Talladega furniture family has much to talk about.

Designed for maximum style and exceptional comfort, the Talladega offers ultra-plush chaise seats and leg rests that create a continuous zone of comfort, especially in the reclining position. The sleek padded arms and tall foam back provide unparalleled support for your head and neck.

Speaking of the padded arms, these arms are curved, offering a welcoming arm to whoever feels like sitting down. The exposed wings of its arms also give the Talladega a look that remains fresh and inviting.

Along with the streamlined style that Talladega has, it also has what La-Z-Boy calls racing stripe detailing with its top-stitching designs. Top-stitching is only available in leather covers, which we will discuss in this article's options & upgrades section.

Further, given that the Talladega has a supportive tall foam back, this furniture family can fit anyone comfortably with a height of 6’3” and up. 

Shorter individuals might have a harder time sitting comfortably in Talladega’s furniture frame. Read more about La-Z-Boy Recliners for Short People by checking out this article.

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.

The Talladega is available as a Rocking Recliner, a Wall Recliner, a Reclining Loveseat, and a Reclining Sofa.

Talladega Furniture Family Options & Upgrades

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

Upholstery Cover Options 

When selecting the fabric or leather for your Talladega 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 Talladega 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.

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, Talladega 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. 

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.

Optional Swivel Base

If you're interested, the Talladega 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 power swivel options, check out our review of our Swivel Power Recliners.

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest & Lumbar Support

You can upgrade the Talladega recliner, loveseat and sofa 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. 

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.

Optional Console (Loveseat)

The Talladega 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.

If the console is something that interests you, you can also add Power with Headrest and Lumbar upgrades to enhance your Talladega Loveseat into a truly comfortable experience.

Talladega Furniture Family Cost

Regarding cost, the Talladega furniture products fall within the low-price range at La-Z-Boy.

While the cost of the Talladega furniture is considered quite standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered more expensive on 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.

Is the Talladega Furniture Family Right For You?

Now that you know everything about the Talladega furniture family, the question may remain if it is the right furniture family for you. 

In terms of functionality, the reclining feature of the Talladega furniture is ideal for those looking to kick back and relax. If you are looking for stationary furniture, the Talladega furniture will not be right for you.

Moreover, the Talladega furniture has a large scale and seats a taller clientele, meaning shorter individuals might have a harder time sitting on this furniture family. If you’re looking for something that seats you and others with average-sized heights, this furniture family is not right for you.

Finally, when it comes to style, the Talladega has more detailing when it comes to its leather selection. If you’re looking for a more unique design for your furniture, the topstitching with the Harmony Leather provides a more modern look, with the advantage of turning heads when guests are invited.

However, if you’re looking for more low-key furniture, the recommended cover would be the neutral fabric option.
