Unique Features of the Vail Recliner
The Vail Recliner is expertly designed with a smaller scale, making it an excellent choice for petite users seeking a cozy yet stylish seating option. Its thoughtfully crafted form is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, providing a comfortable haven for relaxation.
Featuring padded rolled arms, this small recliner adds a touch of elegance and softness, enhancing the overall comfort. The biscuit-style back complements the matching leg rest, creating a cohesive and inviting appearance that fits beautifully in various home settings.
The Vail Rocking Recliner offers a dual-functionality that promotes total comfort. It rocks gently when the leg rest is not engaged, allowing users to experience a soothing motion.
When it’s time to recline, the back can ratchet down into an impressive 16 relaxing positions, with approximately 12 inches of clearance space needed for full recline. This adaptability ensures that users can find their perfect lounging angle, whether they’re watching television, reading, or enjoying a quiet moment.
The Vail Wall Recliner is unique because of its space-saving technology. It requires mere inches of clearance from a wall in order to fully recline, making it a great recliner for small spaces.
A convenient side-mounted handle allows users to easily lift the leg rest into three supportive positions, which are securely locked for peace of mind. Additionally, the chair’s back can recline independently, providing flexibility in finding the ideal resting position without necessitating the activation of the leg rest.
Constructed with double-picked blown fiber fill, this leather recliner offers superior cushion loft and shape retention, ensuring that the chair maintains its plush appearance over time. The high-grade foam seat cushions further enhance the overall comfort and durability, providing a luxurious feel that stands up to daily use.
Vail Recliner Size & Dimensions
Rocking Recliner
Wall Recliner
Because of its shorter seat height and smaller scale, the Vail Recliner is a great recliner for short people. It is particularly ideal for individuals between 5’4” and 5’9”.
It is important for you to know 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 recliner yourself to see how it fits you.

Cushion Upgrade
At an additional cost, the Vail Recliner cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning. Over time, your plush 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 Vail 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.
How Much Does the Vail Recliner Cost?
The Vail Rocking Recliner has a starting cost of $500, while the Vail Wall Recliner’s starting cost is $660. 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 November 6th, 2024.
Does the Vail Recliner Include a Warranty?
If you’re interested in having a furniture protection plan for your new leather rocker recliner, you’ll be pleased to know that both Vail Recliners come 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 leather wall recliner gets accidentally damaged, it will be covered.
For a given period, the fabric or leather of the Vail 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.
Vail Recliner Customer Reviews
“Love it! Chose a unique fabric that was offered and love it even more than the common colors. My salesman, Ross was excellent and very accommodating....” - Claire T.
“Nice Chair
Overall, I have to give this chair high marks. It is comfortable as well as giving great support to my back and legs. The fabric seems quite durable and has a warm feel to it. I would have given this chair five stars but I am a bit disappointed in the padding in the arms. It seems a little on the thin side to me. If I press down hard enough, I can feel the wood support beam within. I think the arms of this chair could have had more supporting foam in them since that is a fairly important aspect of a chair itself.” - Joseph B.
“More than satisfied customer.
I love it! La-z-Boy has always been my favorite. I have bought many items in the past years so has my family.” - Shirley B.
