Unique Features
The Pinnacle Recliner’s inviting appearance and relaxing nature are highlighted by its plushy pillowed tall back and padded rolled arms. The chaise seat and legrest will make you feel surrounded in comfort.
What separates the Pinnacle is that it is available in multiple recliner styles. It can be a wall hugger recliner chair, a rocking recliner, a gliding recliner, and even a reclining power lift chair.
Without the power upgrade, the Pinnacle features a three-position locking leg rest for added safety and support. It is also available in a variety of fabrics and leathers, whether you’re looking for a brown leather recliner or a simple fabric cream recliner.
Pinnacle Recliner Size & Dimensions
The Pinnacle Recliner is known for being a perfect fit for individuals between 5’4” and 5’9”. This is because of its shorter seat height and depth.
While the Pinnacle is perfect for that size range, it is important to consider your own body type. Height guidelines are not set in stone, and different furniture fits everybody differently.
You should also measure the size of the space your new favorite fabric recliner chair will go before you buy as well. If you’re interested in the rocking recliner, while it is a good rocker recliner for small spaces, you’ll need to ensure more room for the rocking function.
If you’d like to see how the Pinnacle Recliner fits you, feel free to make an appointment ahead of time with one of our in-store designers.
Options & Upgrades
Fabric Cover Options
The Pinnacle Recliner can be customized to include a variety of different fabric cover options. Let’s walk through the options 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.
If you’re interested in finding the perfect fabric for your La-Z-Boy recliner, you can order free swatches to help you decide.
Leather 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
Cushion Upgrade
At an additional cost, the Pinnacle Recliner cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning. Over time, your new favorite recliner chair 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. This also comes at an additional cost.
Optional Swivel Base
The Pinnacle 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 also upgrade your swivel base into a power swivel recliner, which can swivel at the touch of a button. The power swivel base, however, only rotates 165 degrees to prevent the power cord from getting tangled within the furniture frame.
Power Upgrade
The Pinnacle is also available as an upgrade to 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.
Power Upgrade With Adjustable Headrest
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. This puts the Pinnacle among the best recliners for neck pain.
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.
Adjustable Lumbar Support
The Pinnacle 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. This feature helps the Pinnacle Recliner claim its stake as the best recliner for lower back pain.
Power Lift Recliner Upgrade
One upgrade that sets the Pinnacle apart from other furniture families is the ability to upgrade to a power lift recliner.
The Pinnacle Power Lift Recliner features a handy remote that can help raise the recliner up or down from off the ground. The remote can be used to raise or lower the recliner, as well as adjust it to different reclining positions, making it easier for you to get in and out of the chair.
The seat and back move together in one smooth motion, eliminating gaps and providing full body support in all reclined positions. The power lift recliner also features a power tilt and independent back and leg rest motion.
Heat and Massage Upgrade
The Pinnacle Power Recliner can be upgraded to include Heat & Massage.
Customers can enjoy this incredibly comfortable recliner with two high and low heat settings and six motor-massage settings for their back and thighs.
PowerReclineXR® is also included in this upgrade, which lets the user experience full reclining comfort in any position, thanks to an independently operating back and leg rest.
Cost
The Pinnacle Wall Recliner has a starting price of $1,399, the rocking recliner at $1,299, and the gliding recliner at $1,499. These are only starting prices, meaning that none of the potential upgrades discussed above are included.
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 January 25th, 2024. Please contact your nearest La-Z-Boy store for up-to-date pricing information.
Warranty
Having a protection plan for your furniture is similar to having insurance on your house. If you’re interested in the Pinnacle Recliner, you may be pleased to know that it can be backed by 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 grey recliner chair gets accidentally damaged, it will be covered.
For a given period of time, the fabric or leather of the Pinnacle 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 review of a certain product is a good step in the right direction, but some may argue that reading customer reviews is even more important.
Read on to see some real reviews from customers on the Pinnacle Recliner!
“Love our chairs
So comfortable. I'm 5' and hubby is 5'6". These are perfect. Well made. We picked them up which saved delivery. They were covered in plastic for the trip home.” - Dorothy J.
“Chair is comfortable, however my elderly mother cannot operate the handle to raise her legs. I must do it for her and I find the handle hard to use in one direction. My mother has no problem lowering her legs.” - Barbara S.
“Very happy with our new Pinnacle chairs!
We bought two Pinnacle Rocking Recliners and are very happy! This chair is comfortable and good looking. We especially like that they will lay out almost flat.” - William and Marcia G.
Is the Pinnacle Recliner Right For Me?
The Pinnacle Recliner is well-known and liked for being an inviting recliner chair that is as comfortable as it looks. It can also be customized to be how you want it.
That being said, the Pinnacle Recliner is not for everybody. For example, if you are looking for a small rocker recliner that can fit in a tighter space, the Pinnacle would be a great fit for you. However, if you are looking for an oversized power recliner, the Pinnacle is not a good choice for you.
The only way you will know if the Pinnacle is right for you is to sit in it yourself. If you’re interested, please come into your local La-Z-Boy South Texas location to sit in the Pinnacle yourself.
