Unique Features of the Pinnacle Recliner

When it comes to comfort, the Pinnacle Recliner has helped lead the way to set industry standards. The Pinnacle was one of the first constructed recliner chairs to eliminate the gap between the recliner seat and leg rest, providing the reclining position with the ultimate level of comfort.

Not only does the comfort level help raise its reputation, but it is also well known for being an option to fit a broad range of area sizes and comfort preferences. Whether you're 5'4" or 6'2", the Pinnacle accommodates a wide range of sizes and body types.

The Pinnacle is also well known for accommodating multiple style preferences. Whether you are looking for a blue recliner, brown recliner, or black recliner chair, the wide array of fabric and leather cover options will accommodate any style preference you have.

The Pinnacle Recliner is also available as…

• A Rocking Recliner - The classic rocking recliner with 3 locking seated position
• A Wall Recliner - Recline in comfort with as little as 6 inches between your recliner and wall
• A Gliding Recliner - Experience the smooth action of the gliding mechanism on this classic recliner frame
• Power Recliner - Upgrade to power to find your favorite reclined position and set that position to default with an easy-to-use remote.
• Lift Recliner - Upgrade to a lift recliner to make the process of getting in and out of your chair easier by lifting the chair up or tilting it down. This is a great upgrade for those with mobility issues.

The rocking and gliding recliners are great for those who are comfortable rocking or gliding and have plenty of room space. On the other hand, the wall recliner is great for those who have smaller spaces. A wall recliner would be a great option for somebody looking for lazy boy recliners for small spaces.

Ultimately, we recognize that wall, rocking, and gliding recliners are completely different types of recliners. The final decision will come down to what your personal preference is. 

Pinnacle Recliner Size & Dimensions

Displaying its versatility again, the Pinnacle Recliner is known for being able to accommodate people in a broad range of sizes. While having a relatively small scale compared to other recliners, the Pinnacle does not have a short or tall scale, making it a comfortable chair for those in the average height range. If you are of average height and size but are looking for a narrow recliner chair, the Pinnacle Recliner will be a great option for you. 

While the Pinnacle is indeed well known for its versatility, the size of your living space is a big determining factor in figuring out if the Pinnacle is right for you. It is also important to note that the back of the recliner can detach to make the transport or delivery process easy and seamless. To ensure that the Pinnacle Recliner is right for you, we suggest that you measure the space you intend to put the furniture in to make sure it fits your space and your body.

Your height can sometimes be a big factor as well, but it is important to note that height guidelines are not set in stone. Everybody sits on furniture differently, and this factor drastically affects how an individual finds a seat comfortable. This is why it is important to come into the store to test out the furniture on a sensory level to get a feel for the furniture you are interested in.

Pinnacle Recliner Options & Upgrades

La-Z-Boy furniture is customizable depending on the specific features to match your particular preferences, and the Pinnacle is no exception.

With over 800 fabric options available at La-Z-Boy, the Pinnacle can accommodate any style preference. Whether you are looking for a lighter or darker colored fabric to compliment your living space, such as a light blue recliner or a dark blue recliner, the wide array of fabric options will ensure you find the right one. These fabric options do not increase the cost of the Pinnacle.

When it comes to the leather options for the Pinnacle, there are 2 select leather covers, which include a dune (beige) and cedar (brown) color. Choosing either select leather type will result in additional costs to the Pinnacle. 

With all of the different color options, the Pinnacle Recliner also includes several premium cover options such as… 

Fabric Covers

Stain Resistant Covers

Innovative iClean Technology surrounds each fabric and leather 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

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

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 Covers

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.

More Upgrade Options

Aside from fabric and leather cover options, you can also make upgrades to the Pinnacle Recliner such as…

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, the Pinnacle Recliner cushions 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 for the Pinnacle Recliner, the TEMPUR-Response Memory Foam Cushion will increase the cost starting at $189.

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. The cost of an elongated handle will increase the final cost of the recliner by $99.

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 of $99.

Optional Swivel Base

If you're interested, 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 With Adjustable Headrest

You can upgrade the Pinnacle 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 Pinnacle Power Recliner enables you to find the perfect reclining position that suits your comfort preference.

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.

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. 

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.

It is important to note that lift recliners only come in fabric and not leather. 

Cost of the Pinnacle Recliner

While the cost of the Pinnacle is considered standard at La-Z-Boy, it is important to note that La-Z-Boy furniture is considered more expensive in the market. This cost is reflected in the quality of materials and craftsmanship of our products.

Please note that La-Z-Boy prices listed in this article are subject to change without notice. Information is current as of 10/01/2023.

Does the Pinnacle Recliner Come With a Warranty?

The Pinnacle is covered by La-Z-Boy’s Limited Lifetime Warranty. This warranty covers the repair or replacement of the frame, spring systems, and mechanism, given that they are quality-crafted and built for long-lasting comfort.

While still quality-crafted, other aspects of the product, such as fabrics, leather, and cushions, are not meant to last a lifetime. However, these parts are still covered by the La-Z-Boy Manufacturer’s Warranty for a given time.

To further protect your purchase, La-Z-Boy South Texas offers an extended service plan at an additional cost.
