Because of its taller seat height and deeper cushions, the Joel 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 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 Joel 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 Joel 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 Joel 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 Joel Reclining Sofa Cost?

If you prefer to have a furniture protection plan to protect your new reclining leather sofa, you’ll be pleased to know that the Joel 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 Joel 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.
