Unique Features
The Apollo Recliner is a masterpiece of casual style blended with modern flair, designed to elevate the comfort and aesthetics of any living space. This La-Z-Boy recliner is not just about looks; it is crafted to offer exceptional comfort and functionality, making it a perfect addition to your home.
One of the defining features of the Apollo Recliner is its refined box-border back cushion. This cushion is engineered to provide supportive comfort, ensuring that you can relax in style.
Complementing this is the bucket chaise seat and legrest, which extend in a continuous zone of comfort. This design ensures that your entire body is cradled in luxury, from head to toe, as you recline.
The contemporary track arms with wrap-over padding add to the chair’s modern aesthetic while providing additional comfort. The single-needle topstitching accents on the wings, back, and arms contribute to the Apollo’s refined appearance, giving it a sophisticated look that seamlessly blends into any décor.
The Apollo Wall Recliner is particularly suited for small spaces with limited reclining space. It is designed to be placed approximately 7 inches from a wall and can fully recline into that limited space.
Unlike traditional recliners, the Apollo Wall Recliner moves slightly forward instead of backward when reclining, making it ideal for tight quarters. This thoughtful design ensures that the chair remains sturdy when sitting down or standing up to exit the seat, providing a stable and secure seating experience.
Operating the recliner is a breeze, thanks to the convenient side-mounted handle. This handle lifts the leg rest into three supportive, safely locked positions, allowing you to find the perfect angle for relaxation.
Additionally, the chair back can recline independently without activating the legrest, giving you versatile options for seating and reclining.
The Apollo Rocking Recliner combines the soothing motion of a rocker with the relaxing features of a recliner. It offers a versatile seating experience with a back that ratchets down into 16 different reclining positions, allowing you to find the perfect angle for relaxation.
Requiring only approximately 12 inches of clearance space for full recline, this chair is perfect for any living space, providing both rocking and reclining comfort in one stylish package.
The Apollo Recliners are built with double-picked blown fiber fill for improved cushion loft and shape retention. This ensures that the chair maintains its comfort and appearance over time.
The high-grade foam seat cushion further enhances the seating experience, providing lasting support and comfort.
Apollo Recliner Size & Dimensions
Rocking Recliner
Wall Recliner
Both Apollo Recliners are great recliners for tall people. Because of its taller seat height, it is particularly ideal for individuals between 5’10” and 6’2”.
It is important to note that height guidelines are not set in stone. Different furniture fits everybody differently, which is why we encourage you to sit in the furniture yourself.
Options & Upgrades
Both Apollo Recliners can be customized and personalized to your liking!
Fabric Cover Options
Let’s walk through a breakdown of the different fabric cover options with the Apollo Recliner.
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 cover options are some leather options as well!
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 Apollo offers some other additional upgrades.
Cushion Upgrade
At an additional cost, the Apollo Recliner cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning. Over time, your recliner 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.
Handle Options
To add more style to your La-Z-Boy manual recliner, you have the option to customize the length and material of the convenient reclining handle.
At an extra cost, you can opt to elongate the handle if you find it too short for your comfort.
Additionally, you can choose from a variety of materials for the handle, including wooden, brushed nickel, or matte black. The chrome handle can also be elongated, matching the wooden one in size.
What’s more, for all left-handed users, you can change your handle from the standard right side to the left.
Optional Swivel Base
If you're interested, the Apollo Rocking Recliner is available with a swivel base for an extra cost. La-Z-Boy's swivel bases provide a 360-degree rotation, allowing you to easily turn and face any direction.
Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest & Lumbar Support
You can upgrade the Apollo Rocking and Wall Recliners 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.
You can also control the lower lumbar area of your recliner with the wireless remote. In this case, the lumbar support can expand 3 inches out or deflate to perfectly match the unique curvature of your lumbar spine.
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 favorite relaxing positions. This way, you can easily recline back to the position you favor quickly and accurately.
Base Finish Options
La-Z-Boy South Texas is all about customization, including customizing the base of your Apollo Recliner. The Apollo can come in one of 2 finish options:
- Brown Mahogany (Standard Finish)
- Coffee (Additional Cost)
Cost of the Apollo Recliner
The Apollo Wall Recliner has a starting cost of $1,549, and the Apollo Rocking Recliner has a starting cost of $1,899.99. Keep in mind that these are merely starting costs that do not include any of the potential upgrades listed above.
While this cost is considered to be standard at La-Z-Boy South Texas, it is important to understand why 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.
La-Z-Boy prices listed in this article are subject to change without notice. Information is current as of June 27th, 2024.
Warranty
If you’re interested in having a furniture protection plan for your new leather power recliner, you’ll be pleased to know that both Apollo Recliners come with a limited lifetime warranty!
The limited lifetime warranty covers the repair or replacement of the frame. This means that if the frame of your new favorite zero wall recliner or power rocker recliner gets accidentally damaged, it will be covered.
For a given period, the fabric or leather of the Apollo will also be covered under our protection plans as well. It is important to note that the material is not meant to last a lifetime, and that’s why it is only covered for a period of time.
Customer Reviews

“Great chair! ...and like a bed too!
Cannot rate more highly! Love it, very comfortable and lumbar support is more than sufficient. So easy to take a nap in this chair & sitting on it is a delight!” - Tim T.
“My new recliner is very nice. I love the fabric that I chose, and the style of the chair is very attractive. The chair is also comfortable. But, I am disappointed that there is not a skirt along the bottom of the chair...something I didn't notice in the showroom. Because of the lack of a skirt, the metal base under the recliner is very visible, which detracts from the beauty of the chair. And when a friend sat in the chair and reclined, while I sat across the room, I saw for the first time how much of the underside of the chair was visible when it's in the reclining position...it is very unattractive.” - Margaret A.
“Delivery and Chair review
Chairs arrived a little early , guys delivering were very courteous and respectful. Chairs are great so far no problems” - Jeanett and Stephen G.
