Recliners have evolved from the traditional recliner. Most recliner chairs were bulky and unappealing visually, and were considered oversized recliners for shorter individuals or children.
For smaller people, finding the right fitting reclining chair used to be a tough task. Not anymore!
At La-Z-Boy South Texas, we have recliners that will fit people 6’3” and taller all the way down to someone 5’3” and under. We still sometimes are asked, “what is the smallest La-Z-Boy Recliner?”
We will answer that question in this article, and will show you some of our other small recliners.
The smallest recliner at La-Z-Boy South Texas is the Collage Recliner. This petite recliner has a short seat height, and the most narrow overall width.
Available in both a rocking and wall recliner, the Collage is the perfect recliner for short people and is great for small spaces.
Read on to see a full assessment of the unique features of the Collage Recliner.
The Collage Recliner combines a petite profile with oversized comfort and a touch of charm, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking relaxation in a smaller footprint.
Perfect for cozy corners or compact spaces, this small recliner chair offers the comfort of a full-size chair while maintaining a more manageable size. Its plush, supportive back invites you to recline fully and put your feet up, while the cozy bullnose seat with rounded edges cradles you comfortably.
Designed with style and comfort in mind, the Collage features attractive, padded flared arms that add both support and a visually pleasing silhouette. For those moments when you want to recline, the chair back ratchets down into 16 relaxing positions, allowing you to find the perfect angle for lounging, with only 12 inches of clearance needed from the wall.
The side-mounted handle lifts the leg rest into three supportive, securely locked positions, so your legs are just as pampered as the rest of you.
A versatile piece, the Collage Rocking Recliner lets you enjoy a gentle rocking motion when the leg rest is not in use, perfect for soothing relaxation. The wall hugging recliner allows you to place your chair mere inches from the wall, while reclining completely.
Additionally, the chair back can recline independently of the leg rest, allowing for even greater flexibility in finding your ideal comfort position.
Filled with double-picked blown fiber, the cushions offer improved loft and shape retention, while the high-grade foam seat cushion ensures enduring comfort and support, maintaining its plush feel and appearance even after daily use.
