Lazy Boy Recliners

The most durable fabrics for Lazy Boy Recliners are leather and microfiber. Which of these is best for you depends on the style of chair you prefer and how you use it, whether every day or as occasional seating.

Synthetic microfiber fabric is highly durable because of its ultra-fine fibers. Tightly woven, these fibers create a strong layer of protection for your recliner. Microfiber can withstand dust, dirt, and various liquids. If you plan on using your recliner often or share it with others, including children, microfiber is the most durable fabric for your chair.

For overall longevity, select a Lazy Boy recliner that's made of 100% leather. This natural finish will wear and fade over time, but as long as you maintain it with a good quality leather conditioner and avoid placing it in direct sunlight, you’ll enjoy looking at it and lounging in it for years to come.

When shopping for Lazy Boy recliners, there are several features for which to look. The first thing to consider is whether you want a manual or power recliner. The power recline option on a Lazy Boy is the ultimate luxury, allowing you to press a button to simply move into the reclining position. However, keep in mind that power recliners tend to be larger and bulkier than their manual counterparts. If you live in a small apartment, the manual mechanism is a more desirable feature than power recline.

Other Lazy Boy features to look for in your recliner include the patented locking footrest that allows you to choose from 3 feet positions and the “sound of comfort” patented locking feature that enables you to cycle through 16 different chair positions for your comfort.

Lazy Boy recliners shouldn’t need much maintenance. If you spill something on them, you will need to clean it up quickly with warm soapy water and a gentle cloth before allowing the area to dry.

If you have a leather recliner, it’s a good idea to use a leather conditioner from time to time—but make sure that you test that conditioner in a place that you don’t see very often to make sure that it won’t stain your chair before using it over the entire chair.
