Written by Ryan Podnar | May 13, 2024 2:00:00 PM

A comfortable recliner can become your best friend in your living room. Not only are the best recliners comfortable, but they’re also well made with the best materials, meaning they can last a lifetime.

The only drawback with the most comfortable recliners is that they’re not always the most aesthetically pleasing. It would be great if you could find a reclining chair that looks great while not compromising on comfort.

The best options for these personal preferences are typically high leg recliners. Even then, most high leg recliner chairs aren’t as comfortable as the classic recliner.

If you’re interested in a high leg recliner, you may have heard about the Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair at La-Z-Boy South Texas. Not only does this chair go with any style, but it also has the signature La-Z-Boy comfort.

In this article, we will walk you through a full review of the Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair at La-Z-Boy South Texas.

Coming Up…

Unique Features


Experience the perfect blend of comfort and elegance with the Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair. This high leg recliner chair exudes sophistication with its strong profile softened by a touch of refined grace.

Sink into sumptuous cushions enveloped in lavish covering options, indulging in the ultimate comfort and style. The bold brass nail head and welt trim detail adds a stately appeal, elevating the chair's aesthetic to new heights.

Adding to its allure are the decorative wood legs, a testament to its craftsmanship, along with the semi-attached back and comfy attached seat cushion for a seamless, integrated look.

Embrace relaxation with the pushback recliner feature, allowing you to effortlessly recline with a simple manual push. This intuitive mechanism ensures easy adjustment to your preferred reclining position, granting you the freedom to unwind at your leisure.

Inside, the Carleton is designed for lasting comfort and shape retention. Double-picked blown fiber fill enhances the chair's form, while the high-grade foam seat cushion maintains its plushness and appearance over time, ensuring a consistently luxurious experience.

Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair Size & Dimensions

Because of the taller body and seat height, the Carleton is known to be a great recliner for tall people.

While the Carleton is ideal for individuals between 5’10” and 6’2”, it is important to know that height guidelines are not set in stone. Different furniture fits everybody differently, and it is ultimately important to sit in the chair yourself to see how it fits you.

Options & Upgrades

Like all La-Z-Boy South Texas furniture, certain features of the Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair can be customized and upgraded!

Fabric Cover Options

Among the potential options are the fabric covers. Check out the fabric cover options for the Carleton below.

Stain Resistant Covers

Innovative iClean Technology surrounds each fabric fiber, creating a barrier that repels spills before turning into stains. This is a great cover if you have messy kids or pets.

Pet-Friendly Fabrics

Tested and formulated to withstand the scratches and wear that a pet can cause to ensure a durable and easily washable fabric. Consider pet-friendly fabric if you have pets who live inside and use furniture.

Antimicrobial Covers

Antimicrobial properties surround each cover to protect against mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria. This cover selection would be great for those who live in older homes that are prone to mold exposure.

Performance Fabric

Superior stain and fade resistance properties make fabrics easy to clean and incredibly durable. This cover is great for individuals looking for the highest quality cover to avoid color fading and durability issues.

Eco-Friendly Fabric

Conserve Sustainable Fabrics are soft, durable, and made from recycled water bottles. This cover is great for those concerned about conserving the environment.

Energy Restoration

Restore by Nanobionic® features a mineral-based fabric coating that transforms natural body heat into energy using infrared technology.

Leather Options

In addition to the fabric upgrades, the Carleton also offers leather upgrades to the secret recliner, such as…

Crypton Leather

Similar to high-performance fabrics at La-Z-Boy, our Crypton leathers repel dust, dirt, and stains. It also protects against harmful UV damage and replenishes natural oils.

Antimicrobial Leather

As with antimicrobial fabrics at La-Z-Boy, antimicrobial leathers help protect the surface from mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria to appear.

Additional Upgrades

Aside from the fabric and leather options, the Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair can be further upgraded with additional options.

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, the Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair cushion can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning, meaning over time, your furniture will remember your unique figure and enhance the comfort of your furniture.

This could be a great option for people with mobility issues, allowing you to get in and out of your furniture more comfortably.

Power Upgrade

The Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair is also available as an upgrade in a Power Recliner, which offers a convenient alternative to the traditional manual recliner. Instead of having to push back on the arms to recline, the power recliner features a 4-button control panel for easy adjustment.

This control panel provides you with multiple reclining positions to recline and raise your feet. In addition, each power recliner comes equipped with USB charging ports for convenient electronic device charging.

You can also adjust the headrest of your Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair from a range of positions to help cradle your neck in comfort.

The power upgrade is great for anyone that has any mobility issues or a harder time pushing back on the recliner in general.

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest

As noted above, you can upgrade the Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair to power.

Unlike manual furniture that uses a handle or latch, power recliners come with a control panel or a wireless remote for easy reclining at the touch of a button. You can also adjust the headrest support with this convenient feature.

The adjustable headrest allows you to move the head of the recliner from 0-55 degrees, giving you more range of motion with your reclining positions.

What’s more, the recliners have USB ports next to the control panels to charge your electronic devices and two memory settings that allow you to save any of your favourite relaxing positions. This way, you can easily recline back to the position you favour quickly and accurately.

All power upgrades can be cordless, thanks to our rechargeable battery pack. With this, you can place your power recliners anywhere without worrying about plugging them into an electrical outlet.

Contrasting Welt Trim

Customers have the option to choose a contrasting welt trim to accentuate the design of the furniture. Furthermore, patterned welt trim options are available, which can enhance the aesthetics of the furniture frame.

Finish Options

The Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair can come in one of two wood finish options:

  1. Brown Mahogany
  2. Coffee

Cost

The Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair has a starting cost of $1,979. Keep in mind that this is a starting price, and does not include any of the potential upgrades listed above.

While this price is considered to be standard at La-Z-Boy South Texas, it is worth noting that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered more expensive than other Texas furniture. The cost is reflected in the quality of materials and high-end craftsmanship in our furniture.

Please note that La-Z-Boy prices listed in this article are subject to change without notice. Information is current as of April 26th, 2024.

Warranty

Having a furniture protection plan ensures that your furniture will be protected from damages. If you’re interested in this, you’ll be happy to learn that the Carleton High Leg Reclining Chair comes with a limited lifetime warranty!

The limited lifetime warranty covers the repair or replacement of the frame, meaning that if your high leg leather recliner gets accidentally damaged, it will be covered.

For a given period of time, the fabric will also be covered under our protection plans as well. Please note that the material is not meant to last a lifetime, and that’s why it is only covered for a period of time.
