Designed with your comfort in mind, the James Reclining Loveseat features dual reclining seats that can be independently adjusted to your desired position. Whether you're watching a movie or reading a book, you can find the perfect level of relaxation with ease.

The high-grade foam seat cushion maintains its plushness and appearance, providing you with a cozy seating experience for years to come.

James Reclining Loveseat Size & Dimensions

Because of its deeper body depth and taller body height, the James Reclining Loveseat is one of the best loveseat recliners for tall people. It is specifically a great fit for those between 5’10” and 6’2”.

It is important to keep your specific body type in mind when choosing furniture. While the James Reclining Loveseat can be considered an oversized recliner, height guidelines are not set in stone.

We at La-Z-Boy South Texas also recommend measuring your space before deciding on which loveseat is best for you. If you need help measuring your room, this article will walk you through how to measure a room to buy the right furniture.

Options & Upgrades

The best Texas furniture can be customized and upgraded. At La-Z-Boy South Texas, you can personalize your furniture selection!

Whether you’re looking for a leather loveseat recliner or a green loveseat, the James will make you feel like you’re sitting in a loveseat designed just for you.

Fabric Cover Options

Find the right fabric cover for you with our extensive selection 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

The James Reclining Loveseat is also available in leather! Let’s walk through some of the options available.

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 selection, the James Reclining Loveseat features other upgrade options.

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, the James Reclining Loveseat cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning. Over time, your new favorite loveseat will remember your unique figure and enhance the comfort of your furniture.

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

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest

You can upgrade the James Reclining Loveseat 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.

Adjustable Lumbar Support

The James Reclining Loveseat 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.

Console Upgrade

The James Reclining Loveseat has the option to include a console in the middle of the seat. This handy center console adds extra storage.

Cup holders are also included, meaning you can sit back and relax without getting up to grab a drink. Further, the console offers an interior electronic charging input instead of the ports outside the loveseat, as well as a light-up function, so you can easily see your drinks in the dark.

If the console is something that interests you, you can also add Power with Headrest and Lumbar upgrades to enhance your James Reclining Loveseat into a truly comfortable experience.

Cost

The James Reclining Loveseat has a starting cost of $2,569. Please keep in mind that this is a starting cost, which 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 furniture. The cost is reflected in our furniture's quality of materials and high-end craftsmanship.

La-Z-Boy prices listed in this article are subject to change without notice. Information is current as of April 4th, 2024.

Warranty

Having a warranty on your fabric reclining loveseat is a lot like having insurance on your car. If you prefer to be protected, you’ll be happy to know that the James Reclining Loveseat 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 cream loveseat gets accidentally damaged, it will be covered.

For a given period of time, the fabric or leather of the James 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.

james reclining loveseat 5 star review

“A Great Piece of Furniture

We buy La,z-boy because they are well made. This loveseat is no exception. I'm sure they are "X" % above "industry standard" cost for a loveseat, but this is a case of you get what you pay for.” - Gary E.

3 star review james reclining loveseat

“Sad

I had the LaZboy Lancer sofa and loveseat for 12 years and loved it. I bought the James because I wanted the console with the wooden top and I could only get it by doing the sectional pieces. This James set is not nearly as comfortable as our old set. It sits higher and is not nearly as plush. The fabric I had on the Lancer was a plush corduroy and LaZboy didn't have anything like that in the fabric selections. I'm sad and disappointed, but stuck with this now. Buying furniture is not easy. I looked at a lot of loveseat sets at several furniture stores, but decided on LaZboy because I felt they were well built.” - Ruth J.

“Matching sofa and Love Seat

Love it as well as the matching sofa!” - William S.

Is the James Reclining Loveseat Right For Me?

As you can see, the James Reclining Loveseat has plenty of positive attributes. From the comforting leg rests to the fabric and leather selection, you may understand why so many customers like the James.

That being said, this loveseat is not for everybody. For example, if you are looking for a stationary loveseat with an ottoman, the James Reclining Loveseat is not the right fit for you.

The most important aspect of finding the right loveseat for you is to keep your personal needs and unique preferences at the front of your mind. If you believe the James is the right loveseat for you, come into your nearest La-Z-Boy South Texas store and sit in it yourself.
