The Dorian Recliner is a masterfully designed piece that combines comfort and style to help you unwind and rock your cares away. This La-Z-Boy rocker recliner features an oversized scale with soft lines and a pub-style back, creating a refined casual look that complements any home decor.
The Dorian Rocking Recliner offers total comfort with its ability to both rock and recline. The back of the recliner ratchets down into 16 relaxing positions, allowing you to find the perfect angle for maximum relaxation.
With approximately 12 inches of clearance space required for a full recline, this chair is designed to fit comfortably in a variety of living spaces.
The Dorian Wall Recliner can be placed just inches from a wall, making it ideal for smaller living spaces or rooms with limited layout options. The chair back can recline independently without activating the legrest, allowing you to find your perfect relaxation angle without needing extra space.
A convenient side-mounted handle makes it easy to lift the leg rest into three supportive, safely locked positions, providing customized support for your legs. For added flexibility, the chair back can recline independently without engaging the legrest, allowing you to relax in various positions.
The Dorian is crafted with double-picked blown fiber fill, ensuring improved cushion loft and shape retention, so the chair remains plush and inviting over time. The high-grade foam seat cushion maintains its comfort and appearance, providing long-lasting support that you can count on.
Upholstered in premium grade fabrics and leathers, the Dorian is rigorously tested to resist wear and fading, ensuring it looks as good as it feels for years to come.

Because of its higher seat height, the Dorian Recliner is a great recliner for tall people. Both the rocking recliner and wall recliner are ideal options 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 it’s ultimately important to sit in the furniture yourself to see how it fits you.
We at La-Z-Boy South Texas also encourage you to measure your room before making a decision as well. Whether you’re looking for a sofa or a power wall hugger recliner, it’s important to get measurements before buying furniture.

Like all La-Z-Boy furniture, certain features of the Dorian can be upgraded and customized!
Whether you prefer a cream recliner or performance fabric recliners, the Dorian has options for you to explore.
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.
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 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.
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.
Conserve Sustainable Fabrics are soft, durable, and made from recycled water bottles. This cover is great for those concerned about conserving the environment.
Restore by Nanobionic® features a mineral-based fabric coating that transforms natural body heat into energy using infrared technology.
In addition to the fabric cover options are a few unique leather options as well.
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.
As with antimicrobial fabrics at La-Z-Boy, antimicrobial leathers help protect the surface from mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria to appear.
Aside from the fabric and leather options, the Dorian features several other upgrades available to you.
At an additional cost, the Dorian 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.
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.
If you're interested, the Dorian 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 upgrade the Dorian 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.

The Dorian Rocking Recliner has a starting cost of $799.99, while the starting cost of the Dorian Wall Recliner is $1,890.99. Keep in mind that these are starting costs that do not include any of the potential upgrades discussed above.

If you appreciate that extra feeling of comfort that a furniture protection plan provides, you’ll be pleased to know that the Dorian Recliner comes 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 Dorian 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.

“The Perfect Chair
I love rocker/recliner! It's everything I wanted in a comfortable chair. The seating area is firm but cozy and just the right size. The handle to adjust the footing is ease to raise. The perfect chair for comfort!” - Anita H.
“I didn't like it at first because the foot rest didn't go high enough. I just had hip replacement surgery and I was supposed to have my legs up to at least my heart level. I since have figured how to make it go higher. I like it now.” - Steve and Jane G.

Our Dorian Wall Recliner was a great purchase....for the style, the comfort and the money! The Temperpedic interior of this chair makes it exquisitely comfortable!” - Patricia B.
