Unique Features
The Trouper Recliner gives that classic recliner look a new twist. An updated silhouette, slightly flared arms, and a sleek tall back give the Trouper a look that is fresh and contemporary.
It is also as comfortable as it looks. The sculpted bucket seat and padded split back will make you feel surrounded by comfort and support. For added safety, it features a three-position locking leg rest.
What also separates the Trouper from other La-Z-Boy recliners is how versatile it is. You can turn the Trouper into a wall recliner, a rocker recliner, and it is also available as a power recliner.
To see how you can customize the Trouper, check out the Trouper Wall Recliner on La-Z-Boy’s product page.
Trouper Recliner Size & Dimensions
Due to its body height, the Trouper is known for being a great recliner for tall people, specifically in the 5’10” to 6’2” range.
It is important to consider your own body type. While the Trouper is among some of the best recliners for tall people, height guidelines are not set in stone. Different furniture fits everybody differently.
To make sure you have enough space in your living room, you should also measure the size of your space. If you have a smaller space, you’ll likely be better off with the Trouper Wall Recliner as opposed to the rocking recliner.

Options & Upgrades
La-Z-Boy South Texas furniture can be customized and upgraded!
Whether you’re looking for a leather rocker recliner or a fabric power recliner, the Trouper will be able to accommodate you in multiple different ways.
Fabric Cover Options
The Trouper Recliner has a variety of fabric cover options to choose from. Let’s take a look at those options below!
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.
If you’re interested in finding the perfect fabric for your La-Z-Boy recliner, you can order free swatches to help you decide.
Leather Options
In addition to the fabric cover options, the Trouper is also available in leather! Let’s look at the special leather options now.
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.
Additional Upgrades
Aside from the fabric and leather options, the Trouper offers further upgrades that we will discuss below.
Cushion Upgrade
At an additional cost, the Trouper Recliner cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning. Over time, your new favorite recliner chair 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.
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. This also comes at an additional cost.
Optional Swivel Base
The Trouper 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.
You can also upgrade your swivel base into a power swivel recliner, which can swivel at the touch of a button. The power swivel base, however, only rotates 165 degrees to prevent the power cord from getting tangled within the furniture frame.
Power Upgrade
The Trouper is also available as an upgrade to 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.
Power Upgrade With Adjustable Headrest
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. This puts the Trouper among the best recliners for neck pain.
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 Trouper 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. This feature helps the Trouper Recliner claim its stake as the best recliner for lower back pain.
Cost
The Trouper Wall Recliner has a starting price of $1,429, and the Rocking Recliner at $1,749. Keep in mind that this is a starting price, and does not include any of the potential upgrades discussed 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 January 25th, 2024. Please contact your local La-Z-Boy South Texas store for up-to-date pricing information.
Warranty
If you’re interested in a protection plan for the Trouper Recliner, you’ll be happy to know that the Trouper Recliner can be backed 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 of time, the fabric or leather of the Pinnacle 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.
Customer Reviews
Reading a review on a particular product is good, but some may argue that reading customer reviews is even more valuable.
Read on to see real customer reviews on the Trouper Recliner!
“Great recliner
I bought this chair for my husband. He loves it. Super comfortable, easy material to keep clean.
Looks great in his man cave.” - Diana P.
“Good, but not great
These do not have the foot rest come up as high as the other chairs we tried at the store. They are still being evaluated. They do however have a great lumbar support system so we have tradeoffs. These will take some getting used to but not ready to return, as yet.” - James V.
“Comfort
This roomy swivel rocker recliner is comfortable, easy to recline and to return to the original sitting position, thanks to the handle on the right side. And I love the swivel capability.” - Pamela W.
Is the Trouper Recliner Right For Me?
The Trouper Recliner is well-received by customers for its ability to combine style and comfort. It is a classic recliner at heart with a more up-to-date look.
While the Trouper is a diverse recliner chair, it is not for everybody. For example, if you are looking for a power rocking recliner, the Trouper would be a great fit for you. However, if you’re looking for a leather recliner accent chair, the Trouper is not for you.
Ultimately, the decision is up to you. Even after reading the full review of the Trouper Recliner, you are still missing the most important step in the process: sitting in the chair yourself!
This is the only way you will know if it is ultimately the right recliner for you. To sit in the Trouper yourself, come to your nearest La-Z-Boy South Texas location.
