Choosing the perfect recliner is an incredibly satisfying process. It not only allows you to select exactly what you desire, but you also have the opportunity to test-sit in various options to discover the ideal fit for you.
Finding the best-fitting chair is not all that goes into finding the right recliner for you. You get to decide between a red recliner and a brown recliner, can upgrade to power, or stick to a manual recliner.
Ultimately, the choice of which recliner is the perfect fit for you lies in your hands. This means that you should carefully evaluate all the available options and consider every type of recliner chair before making a decision.
To make sure you know all of your options for recliners, today we will discuss the different types of recliners at La-Z-Boy South Texas.

Different Types of Recliners At La-Z-Boy South Texas
Since the La-Z-Boy brand has become synonymous with recliner chairs, we have developed multiple different types of recliners with high-quality materials and craftsmanship.
While there are several different recliner types, the majority of them can be broken down into two sections: manual recliners and power recliners. Let’s walk through every different type of recliner at La-Z-Boy South Texas.
La-Z-Boy Manual Recliners
A manual recliner’s mechanism is controlled by a lever or handle on the outside arm of a recliner.
At La-Z-Boy South Texas, our recliner chairs are equipped with a three-position locking leg rest. These three different positions will give you different positions for different functions.
The first position will lock the leg rest at a sharp angle, barely lifting your feet off the ground with your legs slightly bent. This position is a good position to be in for relaxed reading.
The second position will lock the leg rest at a more relaxed position, while still not perpendicular to the floor. This position is good for watching TV.
The third position will lock the leg rest almost perpendicular to the floor, extending your legs fully. This is a good position if you want to take a nap.
Let's walk through the types of manual recliners available at La-Z-Boy South Texas.
Manual Rocking Recliner
A rocking recliner has the same exact reclining mechanism as a manual recliner. The reclining mechanism is controlled by a handle on the outside of the recliner, and can even be upgraded from a wood handle to an arc handle.
A rocker recliner can rock back and forth while maintaining stability and comfort for you. Rocker recliners are a great choice for mothers with young children or pets who fall asleep by rocking.
*PRO TIP*: At La-Z-Boy South Texas, the rocking functionality is not exclusive to recliner chairs. You can also change the base on a loveseat to a rocker base to make it a rocker recliner loveseat!
Push Back Recliner
With this type of manual recliner, there is no lever or handle on the outside arm controlling the reclining mechanism. You simply use your body to push yourself back into the chair and it will recline for you.
This is a great recliner choice for someone who doesn’t like the look of a handle or lever on the recliner chair.
La-Z-Boy Power Recliners
Depending on the specific chair, La-Z-Boy South Texas recliners can be upgraded to power!
A power recliner’s reclining mechanism is controlled by power rather than a lever or handle. Sometimes referred to as an electric recliner chair, this type of recliner will be controlled by either a remote control or a set of toggles on the outside arm.
A power recliner is controlled by a series of electrical components, often powered by at least one motor, to adjust the chair to the perfect recline position for you. Unlike manual chairs, power recliners can lock at any position.
A power recliner chair also has both a memory setting and, sometimes, a USB port to charge electronic devices. The memory setting can be applied when you find your favorite reclining position. This setting will preset that position so you can get back to it the next time you sit in it with just one push of a button.
Let's walk through the power recliners types available at La-Z-Boy South Texas.
Power Rocker Recliner
The rocker recliner can be upgraded to power! Simply use the control panel on the remote control or side toggles to independently recline the back and leg rest to find your favorite reclined position, all while rocking comfortably in place.
Power Lift Recliner
Power lift recliners are uniquely designed to make getting in and out of the chair an easier and safer process. The chair can lift up and backward to make it easier to get in and can lift down and forward to make it easier to get out of.
These chairs are specifically designed for those with mobility issues caused by injury, surgery, chronic pain, or other factors.
La-Z-Boy Recliners That Come In Both Power and Manual
There are a few recliner chair types that come in both manual and power.
Wall Hugger Recliners
A wall hugger recliner can be placed mere inches away from the wall and still fully recline to your desired position. Since this type of recliner chair saves space, these types of recliners are regarded as the best recliners for small spaces.
High Leg Recliner
La-Z-Boy South Texas’ high leg recliners have become customer favorites. These chairs look like beautiful accent chairs while still possessing reclining capabilities. A high leg reclining chair is a great choice for those who want a small recliner that looks more like an accent chair.

Power Swivel Recliners
A power swivel recliner chair will allow you to enjoy the same functionality as a standard power reclining chair, but will allow you to do it while turning at 360 degrees! Swivel recliners are a great option for those who enjoy some motion while they read.
The swivel base is not just restricted to recliner chairs. You can also attach a swivel base to an accent chair to make it a swivel accent chair!
La-Z-Boy Summit Recliner
Summit recliners, sometimes known as oversized recliners, are recliner chairs that are specifically designed to have larger dimensions. Summit chairs are 5 inches wider than standard chairs and are 2 inches deeper than standard chairs.
While these chairs are uniquely designed for larger body frames, Liza with La-Z-Boy New Braunfels says that pet owners love to use summit chairs so they can have room for both themselves and their dog or cat.
