review of the la-z-boy maverick recliner

When it comes to recliners, there’s nothing that compares to a La-Z-Boy recliner. Over the course of time, our recliner chairs have become the most comfortable and the highest quality chairs on the market.

Maybe you’re currently in the market for a recliner chair. If so, ensuring that you find one with both maximum comfort and durability should be of utmost importance.

That being said, not every La-Z-Boy recliner is best suited for you.

To help find the best recliner for you, we will walk you through a review of the Maverick Recliner at La-Z-Boy South Texas.

Coming Up…

Unique Features

Indulge in the epitome of comfort with either the Maverick Rocking Recliner or the Maverick Wall Recliner. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these reclining chairs boast a chaise bucket seat and footrest, ensuring uninterrupted comfort for hours on end.

Its sloping padded arms and high, biscuit-style back envelop you in luxurious support. Whether you prefer a rocker recliner or a wall recliner, the Maverick will accommodate your personal preferences.

Convenience meets sophistication with the side-mounted handle, effortlessly lifting the leg rest into three supportive, securely locked positions. Even without engaging the legrest, the chair can be gently rocked, providing subtle motion relaxation.

What truly sets the Maverick apart is its versatility. The chair back can recline independently, catering to individual preferences without activating the legrest. Inside, double-picked blown fiber fill enhances cushion loft and shape retention, complemented by high-grade foam seat cushions that maintain their comfort and appearance over time.

Crafted from premium grade fabrics and leathers, each material undergoes rigorous testing to resist wear and fading, ensuring lasting beauty and durability. Whether you’re looking for a La-Z-Boy leather recliner or a blue reclining chair, multiple options are available.

Maverick Recliner Size & Dimensions

Due to the body depth and height of these chairs, either Maverick Recliner is an ideal fit for individuals between 5’10” and 6’2”.

While the Maverick Recliners are known to be two great recliners for tall people, it is important to know that height guidelines are not set in stone. Different furniture fits everybody differently, and it is ultimately important to sit in the chair yourself.

We at La-Z-Boy South Texas also recommend that you measure the size of your space before deciding on furniture of any type. If you’d like to learn how to measure your room properly, this article will show you everything you need to know on how to measure a room to buy the right furniture.

Options & Upgrades

Like all La-Z-Boy South Texas furniture, features can be upgraded and personalized!

Fabric Cover Options

Whether you prefer a normal cream recliner or a performance fabric, the Maverick has options for you to choose from.

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

Aside from the fabric selection, the Maverick offers leather options as well.

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 upgrades, the Maverick offers other types of upgrades.

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, the Maverick 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.

Optional Swivel Base

If you're interested, the Maverick 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.

Power Upgrade

The Maverick Rocking Recliner 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.

You can also adjust the headrest of your Maverick Rocking Recliner from a range of positions to help cradle your neck in comfort.

The power upgrade is great for anyone that has any mobility issues or a harder time pushing back on the recliner in general.

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest

As noted above, you can upgrade the Maverick Rocking Recliner 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 Maverick Rocking Recliner 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

Both the Maverick Wall Recliner and Maverick Rocking Recliner have a starting price of $1,859. Keep in mind that this is simply a starting price and 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.

La-Z-Boy prices listed in this article are subject to change without notice. Information is current as of April 25th, 2024.

Warranty

Having a furniture protection plan will cover certain damages to your furniture. If you prefer to have that insurance, you’ll be pleased to know that the Maverick Recliners include 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 gets accidentally damaged, it will be covered.

For a given period, the fabric or leather of the Maverick 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.

Customer Reviews

Reading a full product review is helpful, but it can be equally as helpful to read what real customers have to say about a product as well.

maverick recliner 5 stars

“PERFECT CHAIR

Very comfortable chair and for tall people.” - Penny A.

4 star maverick recliner review

“Comfortable, Beautiful, and a bit Challenging

The recliners are super comfortable and the fabric is beautiful and has a nice texture. As we are seniors, it would be nicer if the recliner mechanism didn't click as you raise the arm/lever to recline and it would also be nicer if the arm/lever were easier to raise and push back down to set the chair upright. Our Maverick sofa has a pull latch to recline and it is smooth, noiseless, and you close it easily by pressing your legs down.” - Penelope S.

Is the Maverick Recliner Right For You?

After reading a full review of the Maverick Recliner, hopefully you have a much better understanding about both of the recliners. Whether you’re interested in a power rocker recliner or a wall hugging recliner, the Maverick is a great option.

Just because it is a fan favorite at La-Z-Boy South Texas doesn’t necessarily mean it’s best for you.

If you want a recliner with lumbar support, the Maverick Power Rocking Recliner W/ Headrest & Lumbar is a great choice for you. However, if you prefer a high leg recliner, the Maverick isn’t the right fit for you.

Either way you’re leaning, the only way you’ll know for certain if the Maverick is the right recliner for you is to sit in it yourself. Come into your nearest La-Z-Boy South Texas store to sit in the Maverick.
