Recliner Chairs - Glideaway

Ultimate Comfort Space - The Manual Glider Recliner Chair

If you appreciate reclining furniture but are not sure what style to choose, it's a good idea to first learn of the options available. Glider recliners are a very popular alternative to rocker recliners, while swivel and glider styles are in vogue in contemporary Australian homes. 

A manual reclining chair could be the right move, especially with the addition of heavy duty reclining mechanisms, purpose built frame, and effortless gliding. Living room furniture for your ultimate comfort space is what we do at La-Z-Boy, including single seat, 2 seat and 3 seat glider chair options.

Tips to consider when choosing the best Glideaway recliner for you

There is nothing superficial about good looks at La-Z-Boy. Our furnishings are eye-catching and inviting, so you are sure to notice the sculpted armrests, footrest, and backrest cushioning designed for optimal lumbar support. That's just the start of personalising your living room with La-Z-Boy, and here are some other important considerations prior to making a purchase.

Space: Take measurements of your living space, seating space, and potential new recliner, so there are no surprises later on.

Size:  Your size also matters, and your body proportion must match the chair dimensions. Select a glider that feels like the right fit, and try out the features.

Material and colour: There are dozens of fabric and leather upholstery coverings for your lounger at La-Z-Boy. Explore the high quality materials and patterns online, and tailor the couch to your living room style. 

Comfort: The La-Z-Boy reputation is built on comfortable and luxuriant recliners that adapt to your needs. Comfort can mean the right seat position for watching sports, watching a movie, or while watching the world go by at maximum recline. 

Functionality: The glideaway feature comes in handy in smaller rooms or areas where there are obstacles. Glideaway recliners require minimal room from the wall compared to traditional rockers, with multi-position backrest and footrest operated by the attractive handle. 

Additional features worth considering: There is much more to consider when personalising a La-Z-Boy furnishing, such as adjustable headrest, cup holders, extra-strength cushioning for maximum weight capacity, and solid 4-side couch frame for durability and performance. 

Why manual may be the right choice

At La-Z-Boy, we allow our products to speak for themselves. Each style has its fans, including power reclining chairs, swivel glider recliners, swivel rockers, and club chair styles for offices and meeting rooms. Reasons a manual glider chair (or entire suite with chaise) may be the right idea include:

• Longevity - Strong build, less moving parts and reliable manufacturer equals long-lasting performance. 
• Warranty - How does a lifetime warranty on the mechanism (to the original purchaser), and 10 year warranty on the frame, foam, seat springs, handle and workmanship sound? We are proud and confident of our products at La-Z-Boy. 
• Classic designs - Traditional leather recliner designs with nailhead trim never date, but they are being challenged by super-cool fabric patterns and materials in contemporary tones, such as espresso chocolate. 
• Lumbar support - A manual recliner provides genuine lumbar support in a range of positions. This can be a big advantage over a traditional rocking chair or sectional furnishings. 

Living spaces perfect for your new chair

The choices are all yours to create a living space that suits your personality and style. Select from a huge range of taupe leather tones, or opt for your choice from more than 50 different fabric colours and textures. The adjustable features of a manual glider recliner chair make it useful in the living room, bedroom, office, reading room, or other suitable space. 

Relax after a long day in the comfort of your recliner chair

A La-Z-Boy recliner can be whatever you want it to be. If a power chair with USB port, storage, and device connectivity is your wish, you have come to the right place. If you prefer simplicity, a transitional manual glider chair could be the answer.

Ultimate relaxation is possible with high quality manufacturing and premium materials. With La-Z-Boy, you get to choose real leather and natural fabrics that breathe. These are the genuine item, and a positive change from cheap microfiber and faux leather.

What is a Glideaway recliner?

Gliders are a modern version of classic recliner rockers, with differences in construction and movement. Regular recliners rock along arched paths, whereas glideaway recliners move forward and back on a linear path in a horizontal sliding motion. For some people, glideaway chairs are premium relaxation. 

Can you adjust a reclining chair?

You certainly can. Power and manual chairs have reclining mechanisms so you can position your body for optimum leg rest and lumbar support. Adjustments are made without leaving the seat, and you can even lock the recliner chair in position for safety and personalised performance. 

Are reclining chairs bad for your back?

With high quality reclining chairs, the opposite is true. La-Z-Boy furniture is made for comfort and relaxation, ultimately relieving tired and stressed muscles. The ability to repose at a variety of angles helps with circulation, and your back will benefit from optimum lumbar support, courtesy of special reinforced cushioning that remains plush and doesn't go out of shape.

How far back do recliners go?

Some La-Z-Boy products can be tilted into full horizontal position. These recliners are designed and built on a stable base, with highest quality power recliner or manual mechanisms fitted by furniture specialists. At La-Z-Boy, we don't use massage chair gimmicks and polyurethane props to sell our products; they sell themselves.
