The Pinnacle Recliner is known among La-Z-Boy customers for being the symbol of comfort and relaxation. While being one of the more versatile and unique furniture options among the La-Z-Boy family, it stands above the rest as one of the best-selling recliners.
The Pinnacle Recliner is known for being a great fit for those who wish to settle into deep relaxation after a long day. For La-Z-Boy San Antonio customers who come into the store, the comfort review in-store is always highly rated.
Today we will provide a comprehensive and detailed review of the Pinnacle Recliner so you can learn everything you need to know about the recliner chair to make an informed decision on if it is the right option for you.
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…
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.
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.
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…
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.
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 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.
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.
Conserve Sustainable Fabrics are soft, durable, and made from recycled water bottles. This cover is great for those concerned about conserving the environment.
Restore by Nanobionic® features a mineral-based fabric coating that transforms natural body heat into energy using infrared technology.
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.
As with antimicrobial fabrics at La-Z-Boy, antimicrobial leathers help protect the surface from mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria to appear.
Aside from fabric and leather cover options, you can also make upgrades to the Pinnacle Recliner such as…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Here’s what customers are saying about the Pinnacle Recliner…
“We liked both recliners so well that we are considering buying a couple for the basement. We really like how comfortable the recliner is. The color goes well with the other furniture. We have the recliner close to the wall and when you recline it doesn't hit the wall.” - David S
“Great recliner
Love the recliner. All the quality you would expect. Looking forward to years of service from it just as we have had from our other Lazy Boy products” - Arthur W
“Simply the Best Comfort and Quality!
We bought two Pinnacle Gliding Recliners and enjoy them immensely. They are comfortable, swivel and glide beautifully and give the right amount of support to head, legs, and back. I like the gliding action much better than rocking. It is possible to semi-recline, with the back relatively straight and the feet elevated, which is great for reading or relaxed conversation. We also enjoy the soft, smooth burgundy fabric which harmonizes with our burgundy couch. We were pleasantly surprised by the price, which was lower than expected. An overall great buy!” - Victoria S
The versatility of the Pinnacle Recliner’s functionality is perfect for you if you are interested in top-tier comfort and support. However, reclining furniture is not always for everyone due to the size of the furniture, how it may complement your unique body type, and what your style preferences are. Since the Pinnacle Recliner is puffy on the back and slim on the arms, this would be recommended for larger spaces and for those with thinner arms.
Those who are not within the average height range might risk feeling less comfortable in the Pinnacle as well. In addition, since the Pinnacle is a wider recliner, those with a smaller frame may not feel supported quite as well.
If you are not looking to spend $1,500 or more on a recliner, the Pinnacle will not be for you. Since it is made with high-end materials and has so much versatility, the cost of the Pinnacle exceeds $1,000 and is definitely not the cheapest recliner you’ll find.
As we discussed in this article, the Pinnacle has many unique features that set it apart. Its ability to combine style, comfort, and versatility is what makes the Pinnacle so well-regarded among customers.
When it comes to the unique features, looking at it or reading about it online only gives you half the experience though. Now that you know more about the Pinnacle, it’s up to you to decide if it’s the right fit for your home. With that being said, why not discover in person?
