The Brooks Reclining Sofa offers a perfect balance of clean, casual style and superior comfort, making it an inviting addition to any living room.

Designed with thoughtfully tailored details, this recliner sofa features smaller arm posts and thinner arm pads that lend a sleek, streamlined appearance, providing a more stylish and refined look compared to traditional recliners. The thinner back design enhances this aesthetic, giving the sofa a less overstuffed, more contemporary profile without sacrificing comfort.

One of the standout features of the Brooks Reclining Sofa is its full chaise seats and leg rests, offering continuous support from your hips to your feet. Whether you’re sitting upright or reclining, the chaise-style seats cradle your body in comfort, making it ideal for lounging or relaxing after a long day.

The seats are finished with elegant single-needle top-stitching, adding a touch of craftsmanship and detail that elevates the overall design.

With dual side latch releases, the Brooks Reclining Sofa offers easy reclining functionality. Both sides of the sofa recliner can recline independently, allowing you and your companion to find your perfect lounging positions without activating the leg rests. This feature provides personalized comfort, whether you prefer a partial recline or full relaxation.

The reclining mechanism is smooth and easy to operate, making the transition from sitting to reclining effortless.

The Brooks Reclining Sofa combines casual charm with modern comfort and sleek tailoring, making it a versatile piece that complements a variety of interior styles. Whether you're watching TV, reading a book, or simply lounging, this sofa offers the perfect blend of form, function, and comfort.

Brooks Reclining Sofa Size & Dimensions

Because of its shorter seat height, the Brooks Reclining Sofa is the perfect sofa for short people. It is particularly ideal for individuals between 5’4” and 5’9”.

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 ultimately important to sit on the sofa yourself to see how it fits you.

Brooks Reclining Sofa 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.

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.

Performance Fabric

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

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 Brooks Reclining Sofa cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning. Over time, your new favorite couch will remember your unique figure and enhance the comfort of your furniture.

This could be a great option for people with chronic pain, allowing you to get in and out of your furniture more comfortably.

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest

You can upgrade the Brooks Reclining Sofa 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 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 Brooks Reclining Sofa 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.

How Much Does the Brooks Reclining Sofa Cost?

If you’d like a furniture protection plan for your new leather recliner sofa, you’ll be pleased to know that the Brooks Reclining Sofa comes with 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 reclining couch sofa gets accidentally damaged, it will be covered.

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

Brooks Reclining Sofa 4 star review

“Overall the couch is nice. The material is great and the style fits my area.

The couch looks great but is hard for me to open I have to push back hard to get the foot rest all the way up. Several people in my family don't have any problem but I struggle to put my feet up. The delivery men said it would get easier with use.” - Joy L.

Brooks Reclining Sofa 5 star review

“Comfort City in Strongsville

This is one great sofa that both my husband and me just love. The fact that we can put our feet up is awesome. The designer we worked with was outstanding and she was so efficient with everything. She worked some of her ideas in which we loved but she also incorporated ours. She was the best, and would use her and LazyBoy again. This was our 6th set of chairs we have purchased from LazyBoy, it is our "Go To" place for all our needs.” - Jolyn B.
