Unique Features of the James Reclining Sofa
The James Reclining Sofa is the perfect blend of style, comfort, and functionality. Designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic, this reclining sofa brings not only comfort but also sophistication to any living space.
One of the key features of this piece is the stylish multifunctional ottoman, which adds versatility to your seating arrangement. Whether you're looking for additional leg support or simply need an extra surface for drinks or décor, this ottoman can do it all.
The decorative wood legs of this recliner sofa add an upscale touch, providing not only sturdy support but also a sense of refinement to the overall design. These legs give the sofa a sophisticated lift and elevate its appearance, making it a focal point in any room.
The addition of welt trim provides a sharp, tailored finish that enhances the sofa’s overall style. This trim outlines the edges of the upholstery, offering a clean, structured look.
For leather units, this welt trim is replaced with single-needle topstitching, maintaining the same sharp and refined appearance while emphasizing the natural texture of the leather.
James Reclining Sofa Size & Dimensions
Because of its taller seat height and deeper cushions, the James Reclining Sofa is the ideal sofa for tall people. It is a great fit for individuals between 5’10” and 6’2”.
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 come sit on the reclinable sofa yourself to see how it fits.

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 James Reclining Sofa cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning. Over time, your new favorite reclining 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 James Reclining Sofa to power!
Unlike manual furniture that uses a handle or latch, power recliner sofas 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 sofa 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 James 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.
Cost of the James Reclining Sofa
The James Reclining Sofa has a starting cost of $2,019. Keep in mind that this is only a starting cost and does 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.
It is important to note that La-Z-Boy prices listed in this article are subject to change at any time without notice. Information is current as of March 14th, 2025.
Does the James Reclining Sofa Come With a Warranty?
If you prefer to have a furniture protection plan to protect your new reclining leather sofa, you’ll be pleased to know that the James 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 James 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.
