Unique Features
The Astor is known to be a very versatile and comfortable recliner chair. It is available as both a wall hugger recliner and a rocking recliner.
What separates the Astor from other La-Z-Boy recliners is size. This generously scaled recliner has a tall base that adds 1 ½ inches to the height of a standard La-Z-Boy recliner.
While the Astor is not a part of the La-Z-Boy Summit Series, it is often considered to be an oversized recliner. As they say, size matters!
The tall back features three semi-attached cushions that are adjustable for support. Its padded flared arms, chaise seats, and legrest perfectly align to make the Astor one of the favorite big and tall recliners.
Astor Recliner Size & Dimensions
Due to its body height and depth, the Astor Recliner is a great fit for individuals 6’3” and up.
Although the Astor is known for being one of the best recliners for tall people, it is important to take your own body type into consideration. Height guidelines are not set in stone, and different furniture fits everybody differently.
It is equally important to measure the size of the space that you intend to put your new recliner in as well. Since the Astor is often considered one of the oversized recliners at La-Z-Boy, this is not an ideal recliner for small spaces.
If you’d like to see how the Astor Recliner fits you, feel free to schedule an appointment with one of our in-store designers.
Options & Upgrades
La-Z-Boy South Texas furniture features can be upgraded and customized!
The Astor Recliner is available in a variety of different fabric and leather styles and colors. Whether you’re looking for a brown leather recliner or a simple grey recliner chair, the Astor will be able to accommodate you.
Fabric Cover Options
The Astor Recliner has a number of different fabric cover options. Let’s take a closer look 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 cover options, the Astor is available in leather! Let’s take a look at the leather options for the Astor Recliner.
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
In addition to the fabric and leather options, the Astor has further upgrade options, such as...
Cushion Upgrade
At an additional cost, the Astor Recliner cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning. 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.
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. This also comes at an additional cost.
Optional Swivel Base
The Astor 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.
You can also upgrade your swivel base into a power swivel recliner, which can swivel at the touch of a button. The power swivel base, however, only rotates 165 degrees to prevent the power cord from getting tangled within the furniture frame.
Power Upgrade
The Astor 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.
Power Upgrade With Adjustable Headrest
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. This puts the Astor among the best recliners for neck pain.
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.
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.
Adjustable Lumbar Support
The Astor can also be upgraded to include adjustable lumbar support for an additional cost when choosing the power option.
Like the headrest feature, you can 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. This feature helps the Astor Recliner claim its stake as the best recliner for lower back pain.
Power Lift Recliner Upgrade
One upgrade that sets the Astor apart from other furniture families is the ability to upgrade to a power lift recliner.
The Astor Power Lift Recliner features a handy remote that can help raise the recliner up or down from off the ground. The remote can be used to raise or lower the recliner, as well as adjust it to different reclining positions, making it easier for you to get in and out of the chair.
The seat and back move together in one smooth motion, eliminating gaps and providing full body support in all reclined positions. The power lift recliner also features a power tilt and independent back and leg rest motion.
Heat & Massage Upgrade
The Astor Power Recliner can be upgraded to include Heat & Massage.
Customers can enjoy this incredibly comfortable recliner with two high and low heat settings and six motor-massage settings for their back and thighs.
PowerReclineXR® is also included in this upgrade, which lets the user experience full reclining comfort in any position, thanks to an independently operating back and leg rest.
Cost
The Astor Wall Recliner has a starting price of $1,649, and the Rocking Recliner at $1,549. Please note that this is a starting price that doesn’t include any of the potential upgrades discussed above.
While this price 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 January 16th, 2024. Please contact your nearest La-Z-Boy store location for up-to-date pricing.
Warranty
If you are interested in a protection plan for your La-Z-Boy furniture, you’ll be happy to know that a limited lifetime warranty covers the Astor Recliner
The limited lifetime warranty covers the repair or replacement of the frame. This means that if the frame of your new favorite leather power recliner gets accidentally damaged, it will be covered.
For a given period, the fabric or leather of the Astor 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.
