Unique Features of the Aries Recliner
The Aries Recliner brings a sophisticated transitional style to any room, offering the ideal blend of comfort, compact design, and functional versatility.
With its smaller silhouette, the Aries is perfect for cozier spaces while still delivering all the features you’d expect in a larger recliner. Its plush, supportive back boasts clean lines and an eye-catching center pull, giving the chair a refined look that adds character without overwhelming the space.
Designed for extended relaxation, the Aries features an inviting T-style chaise seat and footrest, creating a continuous zone of comfort that supports your entire body from hips to feet.
The tapered arms add a touch of contemporary elegance and are generously padded to provide soft, supportive cushioning for maximum comfort. Whether you’re sitting or reclining, the Aries offers a haven of relaxation.
The rocking recliner chair is engineered to both rock and recline, making it incredibly versatile. The wall recliner is designed to fit perfectly into a small space, requiring only a few inches to fully recline.
The back ratchets down into 16 reclining positions, allowing you to find your perfect angle for relaxation while requiring only 12 inches of clearance from the wall. The side-mounted handle conveniently lifts the leg rest into three supportive, locked positions for customizable comfort.
Additionally, the chair back can recline independently of the leg rest, giving you even more flexibility to find your ideal seating position. When the leg rest is not engaged, the Aries can be gently rocked, offering a soothing motion that’s perfect for unwinding.
Crafted with double-picked blown fiber fill, the cushions on the Aries Recliner retain their loft and shape, ensuring long-lasting plushness. The high-grade foam seat cushion provides reliable support and maintains its comfort and appearance over time.
With its compact design, stylish details, and thoughtfully engineered comfort features, the Aries Recliner is a perfect fit for any room, offering timeless style and a cozy retreat all in one.
Aries Recliner Size & Dimensions
Rocking Recliner
Wall Recliner
Because of its seat height and depth, the Aries Recliner is a great recliner for short people.
It is important to note that height guidelines are not set in stone at La-Z-Boy South Texas. Different furniture fits everybody differently, which is why it’s most important to sit on the recliner yourself to see how it fits you.
Aries Recliner Options & Upgrades
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.
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.
Cushion Upgrade
At an additional cost, the Aries Recliner cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning. Over time, your modern recliner 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 Aries 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 Aries 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 Aries 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 Aries 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 favorite relaxing positions. This way, you can easily recline back to the position you love 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 Aries 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 of the Aries Recliner
The Aries Rocking Recliner has a starting cost of $889, and the wall recliner a starting cost of $939. Keep in mind that these are only starting costs that do 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 October 28th, 2024.
Does the Aries Recliner Include a Warranty?
If you’re looking for a furniture protection plan for your leather rocker recliner, you’ll be pleased to know that both the rocking and wall hugging recliner are covered 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 leather rocking recliner gets accidentally damaged, it will be covered.
For a given period, the fabric or leather of the Aries 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.
