Est. Reading Time: 6 Mins

Finding the perfect recliner often means balancing comfort, functionality, and available space. Traditional recliners can sometimes take up too much room, making them impractical for smaller living areas. That’s where La-Z-Boy wall recliners come in. Designed with a forward-gliding mechanism, these recliners allow you to place them just a few inches from the wall and still enjoy a full recline.

According to Ghada Shaheen, a design consultant at La-Z-Boy Cyrville, wall recliners can make a huge difference for customers with limited space. “Some wall recliners are perfect for small areas because they don’t take up too much room,” she explains. “However, some are bulkier than others, so it’s important to measure your space before choosing a model.”

In this article, we’ll explore the top 5 La-Z-Boy wall recliners, discuss their unique features, and help you decide which one is the best match for your space and comfort preferences.

Key Takeaways:

• Wall recliners allow full reclining motion even when placed close to the wall.
• Each model offers a unique combination of comfort, size, and style to fit different homes.
• Power features such as adjustable headrest and lumbar support enhance comfort and accessibility.
• Upholstery options like leather, fabric, and performance materials influence both appearance and durability.

2. The Sparrow Wall Recliner

The Sparrow Wall Recliner is one of La-Z-Boy’s most compact designs, perfect for smaller rooms or apartments.

The seat depth is generous, allowing for full-body relaxation without compromising wall clearance.

Ghada Shaheen notes that the Astor is “part of what we call our unofficial Summit Series, which includes our taller recliners like the Randell and Redwood. While the Astor is the most accessible option, it still provides excellent head and lumbar support for tall customers.”

The Astor is available in both manual and power configurations. The power version includes headrest and lumbar adjustments, letting you fine-tune your comfort with ease.

Who It’s Best For
This recliner is best for people over 6'2" or those who prefer extra depth and cushioning. It’s also a smart choice for anyone who spends a lot of time lounging or watching TV, as its segmented design keeps you supported through extended use.

According to Ghada Shaheen, “The Trouper is one of our most stylish recliners. Customers love its variety of materials, especially the faux leather options, which offer a refined look that’s easy to clean and maintain.”

How to Pick the Right Wall Recliner

When choosing your recliner, think about how it fits your space, height, and lifestyle.

• Clearance and mechanism: Each model requires a specific amount of space. The Sparrow sits closest to the wall, while the Pinnacle offers more plush depth. Measure from the wall to where you’ll place the recliner to make sure it functions properly
• Fit and body type: Taller users will prefer the deeper Astor, while average-height individuals often find the Pinnacle or Finley more comfortable.
• Power vs manual: Power recliners add convenience with customizable settings, but manual versions are more affordable and require less setup.
• Upholstery: Choose between soft, breathable fabrics or sleek, durable leather and faux leather. Performance materials like iClean offer extra protection from spills and stains.
• Testing in-store: Sit, recline, and adjust before deciding. Everyone’s comfort preferences are unique, and trying the recliner in person helps you find the right match.
