Give the Gift of Comfort This Father's Day

The chair he'd never buy himself

He'll tell you not to make a fuss. He'll say the old chair is "fine." But there's one gift he'll sink into every single day and quietly never get up from - a recliner that's properly his. This Father's Day, skip the socks and give him comfort he'll actually use.

Give the gift of comfort this Father's Day with La-Z-Boy

For the dad who never asks for anything

Dads are hard to buy for - not because they're fussy, but because they never put themselves first. He'll fix, drive, show up and provide, then settle back into the same worn-out chair he refuses to part with. This is the year to change that. Not another gadget for the drawer - somewhere that's his, that he'll feel every day long after Father's Day is over.

How to pick the right one for him

Not sure where to start? Three quick things to think through before you buy:

How does he actually switch off?

The footy, a film, a book, a nap, or a baby on his chest. Start there.

Be honest about his current chair

Overdue for an upgrade? Struggling to get up? That points you straight to the style.

Think about his spot

His corner, the angle to the TV, the room it lives in - so it fits his life, not just the house.
