Features to provide the ultimate care

Providing mobility assistance isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Your needs are individual to you, so we want to let you customise your La-Z-Boy furniture to fit your specific requirements. We have an unwavering commitment to provide you quality and comfortable options that work hard so you don’t have to.

Health and Wellness Options:

Power Lift Chairs

At La-Z-Boy, we know that comfort and style are personal. That's why we offer a diverse selection of lift chairs and recliner armchairs, all designed with top-quality craftsmanship and tailored to suit your individual needs. Our range includes a variety of fabrics, textures, and colours, so you're sure to find the perfect match for your home decor.

• Size Options: Choose from small, large, and extra-large sizes, all featuring generous seat widths for extra comfort.
• Motor Choices: Some of our lift chairs come with a second motor, allowing you to independently control the back and leg rest functions.
• Customised Comfort: Our recliner chairs are fully adjustable, making it easier to stand up and offering mobility support to fit your lifestyle.
• Model Range: Discover lift and electric lift recliner chairs, available in our Bronze, Platinum, and Platinum+ categories for different levels of luxury.

Whether you're after a chair that fits perfectly into your living room or one that offers advanced functionality, La-Z-Boy's collection ensures you don’t have to compromise on comfort or style.

High Base

The high base option provides added support and comfort for those with mobility issues. Add a high base to a rocking recliner of your choice – just head in store and the team can get the chair customised just for you. The elevated seat height reduces the strain on your knees and hips when sitting down or standing up, making it easier to transition in and out of your recliner. This feature is especially helpful for individuals who experience stiffness, joint pain, or limited flexibility, as it allows for smoother and more controlled movements. With the high base, you can enjoy both enhanced independence and the signature comfort La-Z-Boy is known for.

Long Handle

If you have limited mobility or just a shorter arm, simply head in store when purchasing a rocking recliner, and the chair can be customised with a longer handle. The extended handle allows you to effortlessly recline or sit upright without the strain of bending or reaching. This thoughtful feature offers greater independence, especially for individuals dealing with arthritis, joint pain, or limited range of motion, by providing smoother and more accessible control. It's all about making comfort achievable without compromise, so you can focus on relaxation and recovery while your recliner does the hard work for you.

Hospital Base

A hospital base makes moving your recliner effortless and gives you enhanced mobility and assisted living. Equipped with central braking and a track lock system, it allows you to transport the chair with ease—no need to call in extra help just to shift it around. Simply release the wheel lock, roll the recliner to your desired spot, and securely lock the wheels again when you're done. Whether you want to reposition it for better comfort, convenience, or space, the hospital base ensures smooth, hassle-free manoeuvrability at any time. Head into your closest La-Z-Boy store to see which products this can be added to.

Performance Fabrics

As an engineered high performance vinyl - iClean™ fabric uses advanced technology to create a protective barrier that repels spills before they become stains. If mobility is a concern, the last thing you want is to stress over a spill on your new recliner. With iClean, that worry disappears. Its stain-resistant design ensures you can relax without the hassle of cleaning up messes, keeping your recliner looking fresh and new, no matter what life throws at it.

Our family of polyurethane materials, or Lorna materials, offer another level of spill-resistant technology. Available in three colours, this covering allows you to easily wipe up spills. Simply wipe it down to keep it clean.

High Leg Chairs

High leg chairs offer the perfect blend of style and practicality. Their elevated design not only adds a touch of sophistication to any room but also makes sitting down and standing up easier, especially for those with mobility concerns. The higher seat height reduces strain on the knees and joints, providing a more comfortable experience when transitioning in and out of the chair. Plus, their sleek, modern look means you don’t have to compromise on aesthetics for functionality.

Available in two sizes, these chairs are perfect for those who are recovering from surgery or illness, or have a temporary mobility limitation. They offer an easier option for sitting and standing without the investment of a power lift chair, and once you no longer need the additional support, they can continue to be used as an occasional chair.

Let’s give you an example

Lots of technical jargon and terms can sometimes go in one ear and out the other. So here’s an example of how someone requiring mobility assistance could customise their La-Z-Boy recliner to fit their needs.

Head into your nearest La-Z-Boy store to add these upgrades below, as all customised La-Z-Boy products must be purchased in-store (not transactable online).

Recliner choice:The Harbor Town is an iconic, trustworthy La-Z-Boy recliner design that you can rely on. Comfortable cushioning and a soft style offers plenty of soothing comfort in both the seat and the back.

Long Handle upgrade:Our range of motion as we grow older and also when we recover from a major surgery tends to decline which causes a normal recliner handle to feel like a stretch. To make life easier, you can upgrade to a long handle, making it easier to reach down and get enough leverage to effectively recline.

Hospital Base upgrade:A hospital base allows for easy transport, complete with central braking and track lock. This means you don’t need to get the movers in just to move your recliner around the room. Simply unlock the wheels, take it to where you like, and lock the wheels again.

Performance fabric:iClean™ fabric is designed with innovative technology that creates a barrier of protection to repel spills before they turn into stains. When your mobility is decreased, the last thing you want to do is worry about a pesky spill on your new recliner. iClean takes that worry away.

Result:After choosing the long handle, hospital base and iClean fabric upgrades, the Harbor Town Recliner is set to be the ultimate comfort companion and aid, with mobility needs perfectly matched to the chosen features. After a quick chat with our friendly team in-store, they’ll be able to do the same thing and match you with a recliner that caters to each and every one of your needs.
