The Dorian Reclining Sofa has become a popular option at La-Z-Boy South Texas for those looking for a recliner sofa. This reclining sofa has become the epitome of relaxation with its oversized scale and casual style.
This article will walk you through a full review of the Dorian Reclining Sofa at La-Z-Boy South Texas to help you figure out if it’s the right fit for you.
The Dorian Reclining Sofa is designed to transform your living room into a haven of relaxation, blending plush comfort with a refined yet casual style.
This recliner sofa invites you to sink into its oversized scale, where soft lines and a pub-style back create a welcoming and stylish seating experience. Perfect for lounging or gathering with family, the ability to recline at either end makes this sofa recliner a true relaxation destination.
The Dorian’s design is enhanced by its generously cushioned frame, with exposed wings and armrests peeking out from beneath the plush padding, giving the sofa a distinctive look. The blown-fiber backs, sculpted bucket chaise seats, and footrests cradle your body in soft support, ensuring a seating experience that feels as luxurious as it looks.
Handsome details like single and double-needle standard-gauge topstitching accentuate the sofa’s sleek yet casual appearance, adding an element of craftsmanship that enhances its overall aesthetic. This fine stitching not only enhances the visual appeal but also reinforces the sofa's structure, making it both stylish and durable.
For personalized comfort, this reclinable sofa is equipped with convenient latch releases located on the outside arms, allowing you to easily adjust the reclining function on the left and right sides. With a simple pull, you can effortlessly find your perfect position for lounging, reading, or napping.
The sofa is filled with double-picked blown fiber, providing improved cushion loft and superior shape retention over time. This premium filling ensures that the cushions remain soft, full, and supportive, even after extended use.
The high-grade foam seat cushions are designed to maintain their comfort and appearance, providing lasting durability and resilience.
Because of its deeper seats, the Dorian Reclining Sofa is a great sofa for tall people. It is particularly ideal for individuals between 5’10” and 6’2”.
While the Dorian Sofa is designed for taller individuals, it’s important to understand that height guidelines are not set in stone. Different furniture fits everybody differently, which is why the most important step to finding the right sofa is to sit on it yourself.
It’s also important to know what the dimensions of your room are before deciding on which sofa is best for you. To learn all about what goes into measuring your room, this article will walk you through how to measure a room to buy the right furniture.

This could be a great option for people with chronic pain, allowing you to get in and out of your furniture more comfortably.
You can upgrade the Dorian Reclining Sofa 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 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.
The Dorian Reclining Sofa 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.
The Dorian Reclining Sofa has a starting cost of $2,389. Keep in mind that this is merely a starting cost that 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 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.
It is important to note that La-Z-Boy prices listed in this article are subject to change at any time without notice. Information is current as of October 1st, 2024.
If you want a furniture protection plan for your new leather recliner sofa, the Dorian Reclining Sofa 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 reclining couch sofa 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.
“Very nice couch
Really like our new couch. Not just the great look but the firm comfort we get when we sit on it.” - Michael W.
“Quality and Comfort
Fabric and construction are very good. The rear portion of the seat needs to be a little firmer for our tastes, but others might prefer its cushiness. I think a flat seat would be better than the form-fitting design.
The manual recline mechanism works well, and the footrest tension is adjustable, to make it easier to close. It's designed for taller people, so that should be a consideration before purchasing. Overall, I think we will enjoy the sofa for many years to come.” - Shelley H.
“The Issue....Just Toooooo Comfy!!
My biggest concern with this sofa is it's just way toooooo comfortable!!!! So much so, my husband falls asleep nearly every night leaving the dog and I alone in a king size bed!!! We love it!! Super soft, excellent quality and the folks in the store were amazing!! Highly recommend. ??” - Teresa D.
