Recliner Chairs - Family

Australian Family Living At Its Best

There are a lot of recliner chairs on the market in Australia, and it is easy to get excited about style and aesthetics when buying furniture. However, it makes sense to take your time when making purchasing decisions, as today's best recliners showcase a number of new and upgraded features for superior lounging. 

It is a good idea to narrow down style preferences and must-have features early in your search. Australia is a huge country, where indoor living is at its finest, and your new high quality furnishing should suit your region and your personality. 

Find the perfect recliner to fit in your family living room

Australian homes have evolved during the past couple of decades. Large open plan living spaces are common, as are smaller inner-city apartments. Contemporary lounge chair styles include leather recliners, lift chairs, massage chairs, swivel recliners, Nordic style chairs, recliner armchairs, multi-seater modular lounges with chaise, and more.

With so many innovative products to choose from, La-Z-Boy continues to surprise. Our ongoing success is built on high quality materials and industry leading innovations.  We are proud of every recliner we make, and here are some brand highlights worth looking for.

Recliner chairs for the whole family to use

For more than 90 years, La-Z-Boy has symbolized quality family time. Our designs and innovations may have changed, but our commitment to creating strong, inviting and hard-wearing furnishings remains front and centre. 

Many La-Z-Boy products are available in single, two-seat, and three-seat arrangements, some with built-in electric reclining, remote control, adjustable headrests, and adaptable footrests. Live it up your way in front of the home cinema, or recline fully for maximum horizontal relaxation.

Positioning the recliner in your space

Remember to measure the recliner space in your living room, as it is important to purchase the right size furnishing. A chair that is too small can be wasted space, while an enormous lounge suite may block airflow and people-flow around the room. If yours is a small room, consider a glideaway recliner that can fully recline even when positioned close to a wall or other object. We are the solutions experts at La-Z-Boy. 

Consider different types of recliner chairs

Everyone has their favourite type of recliner, and you should make sure your personal needs come first. For example, a lift chair may be more suitable than a rocking chair for the elderly or infirm. However, you could go for the best of both worlds and buy a recliner lift chair for better all-round comfort and relaxation. Reclining chair options include:

• Manual recliners operated by a lever
• Electric recliners operated by push-button or remote control
• Rocking recliners
• Swivel recliners
• Glideaway recliners
• Recliner/Lift chairs

Benefits of adding a recliner chair to your family living

Recliners are a staple in modern homes, replacing traditional leather armchairs and rigid lounges. A fold-back chair adds another dimension to family living, and can even double as a sofa couch or sofa bed when friends stay over. In fact, entire families in Vic, NSW, Qld, and other Australian States are appreciating La-Z-Boy modular lounges and recliner armchairs for a completely new living room style. We move with the times at La-Z-Boy.

Here are a few simple tips to maintain your new chair in showroom condition.

• Dust regularly with a soft cloth
• Vacuum occasionally with a soft brush attachment
• Use cleaners specially formulated for your leather or fabric
• Clean spills immediately by soaking up stains with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing. 
• Keep appropriate cleaning products on hand for a fast cleanup.
