A Worldwide Brand
La-Z-Boy Incorporated, which has its international headquarters in Monroe, Michigan, USA, has a strong history for producing comfortable and quality products and is a brand that is known throughout the globe.
La-Z-Boy products are all handmade exclusively to order with an unrivaled choice of leathers and fabrics. With unbeatable levels of comfort and quality from their unique patented reclining technology, La-Z-Boy continues to innovate, building on a unique heritage that has pioneered new developments in the furniture industry.
You can buy with confidence with 90 years of expertise from the inventor of the world’s number one recliner.
La-Z-Boy’s handle recline mechanism allows a unique relaxation experience. The backrest and footrest work totally independently to allow a personalised reclining position. A ratchet mechanism allows the user to comfortably slide the seat forward while the back rest moves in harmony with the body, meaning the lumbar region is fully supported at all times. The three-position handle can then be utilised to select a comfortable footrest angle.
A four-sided frame gives our handle products additional strength and durability, and adjustable wingnuts allow for the ideal tension to be reached for individual users.
The handle itself is branded and is available in a wood or chrome finish, for further personalisation.
Many of our power recliners also feature a handy USB charging point by the switch. If you’re buying a power recliner you’ll need to allow space behind the sofa, for the back rest to recline, and at the side of each arm, to be able to reach the control. Also bear in mind that you’ll need access to a power socket to connect your product.
The furniture company that would later be known as La-Z-Boy was founded in 1927 by American cousins, Edward M Knabusch and Edwin J Shoemaker, who invented the first recliner in 1928. A comfortable concept, the folding wood-slat porch chair followed the contour of a person's body, both sitting and leaning back. Using orange crates to mock-up and refine their idea, the partners invented the reclining mechanism that would sweep the world off its feet.
The chairs were an instant hit - but needed a name. Combining promotion with necessity, the partners held a contest and turned down suggestions including Sit-n-Snooze, Slack-Back and Comfort Carrier before choosing La-Z-Boy as the clear winner.
Over the subsequent decades, La-Z-Boy's product line has grown to include a myriad of pieces and styles, making it the world's best-selling recliner.
