The La-Z-Boy brand has gained widespread recognition for its exceptional recliners, and it's no surprise considering our long-standing expertise in designing these comfortable chairs for many years.

Not only does La-Z-Boy South Texas sell recliner chairs, but we have also evolved recliners to encompass multiple furniture types. Whether you are interested in a loveseat recliner or a leather reclining sofa, La-Z-Boy South Texas has multiple furniture types available that have reclining capabilities.

One type of recliner chair that is growing in popularity is oversized recliners. Customers of all different body types are interested in oversized recliners because of their roomy and spacious comfort.

The chair and a half recliner is very similar to an oversized recliner. If you are interested in getting a reclining chair and a half, you may have seen the Maddox Reclining Chair & a Half on our product page or at your nearest La-Z-Boy store.

In this article, you will find a comprehensive review of the Maddox Reclining Chair & a Half. The goal is to give you all the details and information you need to identify whether this would be a good fit for your home.

Unique Features

If you are looking for furniture that will make a bold impression in your living room, the Maddox will certainly do the job.

Its modern lines and cozy vibe highlight the clean and bold look of this reclining chair. Additionally, the Maddox’s tall, plush blown-fiber split back amplifies the sleek and lean style.

The broad and spacious waterfall chaise seat and adjustable leg rest pair perfectly with the high-grade foam seat cushion. The premium-grade fabric and leather options can turn the Maddox into a cozy leather chair and a half recliner or a classic fabric recliner.

Maddox Reclining Chair & a Half Size & Dimensions

The Maddox Reclining Chair & a Half is known for comfortably fitting different sizes and body types. Like oversized recliners, chair-and-a-half recliners are becoming more popular because of their spacious nature.

While the Maddox is comfortable for many different sizes, the Maddox is specifically designed for those between 5’10” and 6’2”. If you are 5’3” and are interested in this recliner, it may not be the best fit for you due to its dimensions.

The size of your living space is also a major factor in determining whether this is the right recliner chair for you. We at La-Z-Boy South Texas recommend measuring your living space beforehand to determine if you will have enough space for this recliner.

It is also important to note that height guidelines are not set in stone. While this chair and a half recliner do appeal to people of different sizes, different furniture fits everybody differently depending on body shape and type as well.

If you are looking to sit in it yourself to see how it fits you, you can set up an appointment with one of our designers before you come in to make your trip more efficient.

Options & Upgrades

Depending on specific features, La-Z-Boy furniture is customizable to fit your needs!

The Maddox Reclining Chair & a Half is available in many different styles, including multiple fabric and leather options.

Fabric Cover Options

The Maddox Reclining Chair & a Half is available in the following fabric cover options.

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 who are 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 Cover Options

In addition to the fabric covers, there are two leather cover options provided by the Maddox. Let’s walk through both of those options.

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 fabric and leather options, the Maddox Reclining Chair & a Half features more upgrade options! Let’s walk through each of them.

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, the Maddox Reclining Chair & a Half cushion can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning, meaning 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.

If you are interested in a cushion upgrade, the TEMPUR-Response Memory Foam Cushion will increase the cost starting at $300.

Power Upgrade With Adjustable Headrest

You can upgrade the Maddox Reclining Chair & a Half 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.

The recliners also 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 the 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 Maddox 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.

Cost

The Maddox Reclining Chair & a Half has a starting price of $1,259. It is important to note that this is the starting price, and does not include any of the upgrades discussed above.

While this price is considered to be standard at La-Z-Boy South Texas, it is good to know that 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.

Warranty

If you would like to have your Maddox protected, you will be pleased to know that the Maddox Reclining Chair & a Half is backed by a limited lifetime warranty!
