Frequently Asked Questions

Does La-Z-Boy, Incorporated manufacture recliners for children?

We are sorry, but we do not manufacture recliners for children.

The style that I purchased does not come with arm caps or headrest covers, why?

La-Z-Boy Incorporated does not provide armrest or headrest covers as a standard feature for any of our furniture. Customers may choose to purchase covers on a charge basis through their local La-Z-Boy retailer. The covers are napkin style and all have the same finished size, 16-3/4" x 16-3/4". We do not offer fitted armrest covers. If you would like to make your own covers or have a local upholsterer make them, please contact your local authorized La-Z-Boy dealer to see if fabric yardage is available to purchase by the whole yard.

I have a Back Jack that states it was manufactured by the La-Z-Boy Chair Company. How can I get a new cover for it or more Back Jacks?

La-Z-Boy sold the manufacturing rights for the Back Jack to another company several years ago. You may contact B. J. Industries regarding these products. Their phone number is 410-686-5200. You can also find these products being sold through various online retailers.

A friend or relative has a chair that fits me perfectly, but La-Z-Boy no longer produces that style. May I special order it?

In an attempt to meet the various needs of our customers, we introduce new products twice a year. Unfortunately, to make room for the new styles, we must discontinue some as well. Once we have discontinued a style, we can no longer produce it. Please be sure to visit an authorized La-Z-Boy dealership to try some of the many other styles of furniture. A sales associate will be able to assist you with a piece of furniture to fit your needs.

I would like to purchase furniture as a gift, what are my options?

When purchasing furniture as a gift, remember comfort is subjective. What may be comfortable for you may not be for someone else La-Z-Boy, Incorporated produces many different styles of furniture to meet the various needs of our consumers. You may wish to purchase a gift certificate from a local dealer in the recipient's area. Gift certificates are not transferable, so it is important to purchase the certificate from a dealership near them. This allows the recipient to choose a style to fit his or her needs. In addition, their dealer will be in close proximity should their furniture require service. To locate an authorized dealer, please visit our Store Locator.

I have a recliner. How can I remove the back from it to make it easier to move or transport?

This information and a diagram are listed in the operating instructions that accompany each La-Z-Boy product. On the lower portion of the back on each side there is a bracket that has a locking arm. The arms need to be raised up to a 30-45 degree angle in order to pull the back up and off the recliner. To put the back on, line it up with the brackets that come out from under the seat and gently slide it down into place. Then put the locking arms in the down position to lock the back on.

When ordering a recliner, may I request to have the handle located on the left side instead of on the right?

Many of our recliners can be ordered with the handle on the left side. This option would have to be special ordered, since all of our recliners are manufactured with the handles on the right.

Do you have furniture for people with special needs?

La-Z-Boy, Incorporated manufactures a diverse selection of furniture styles in an attempt to meet the various needs of our customers. Our residential division produces electric Power Lift Chairs, which are operated by a hand control. It assists with seating, exiting, reclining and raising and lowering the footrest. This proves beneficial for persons with limited mobility. For further information regarding our lift chairs, please contact the nearest authorized La-Z-Boy retail dealership.

I have a Wall Recliner. Can I have a swivel base put on it?

Due to the design of the mechanism for this style of recliner, a swivel base cannot be put on a Wall Recliner. Swivel bases can only be installed on a Reclina Rocker. A swivel base is considered an option on the Reclina Rocker, so there would be an additional cost. Your authorized La-Z-Boy dealer will be able to advise you of the charge.

May I purchase fabric yardage from you?

You may purchase yardage through your local La-Z-Boy retailer. They can advise you of the price per yard. Our fabrics are 54” wide.

My dealer has placed an order for furniture or parts? Can I check the status?

Please contact the authorized dealer from whom you placed your order. They will be able to help you find out when to expect your part(s) or new furniture. As the corporate office for the upholstered furniture manufacturer, we do not have access to the independent retailers' sales or service records.

The springs in my Reclina Rocker squeak. Can I lubricate with 3 in 1 oil?

We recommend that you first contact your dealer. They would be able to inspect your chair and diagnose the specific problem your chair is encountering and then offer a solution. However, if lubrication is needed, we recommend that only a clear mineral oil be used to lubricate the mechanism and that rivet locations are not lubricated. Be sure to first use a drop cloth before lubricating the mechanism to ensure that none of the oil drips onto your carpet.

The dealer is going to charge me to replace the mechanism on my recliner. Isn't this covered under my lifetime warranty?

It depends on when you purchased your chair and what style it is if the mechanism is covered under the La-Z-Boy Limited Lifetime Warranty. To review warranty information, please visit the Warranty section on this website.

My chair is noisy when I lower the footrest, is this normal?

Since there are moving metal parts in our reclining mechanisms, there will be some noise involved when releasing the footrest. To lessen the noise, we suggest releasing the handle slowly when disengaging the footrest. Additionally, distributing your weight evenly on the seat, while slightly raising your feet from the footrest when releasing the handle, will also decrease the noise level. We want to ensure that our customers are satisfied, so if you have any questions regarding your furniture and how it operates, please contact the dealer from whom you made your purchase. They have years of experience selling and servicing our furniture, and they will be able to ensure that your furniture is operating properly.

The frame on my furniture is in need of repair. Is this covered under the warranty?

How do I care for my leather furniture?

La-Z-Boy offers several different types of leather upholstery for its furniture. If cared for properly, this natural material will maintain its beauty and usefulness for many years.

Since our manufactured furniture allows for some minor tailoring tolerances, your furniture may not look exactly the same as the furniture in the dealer's showroom.

If you have questions regarding the tailoring of your furniture please contact the dealer from whom you made your purchase for assistance.

My furniture is not comfortable. May I exchange it?

La-Z-Boy Incorporated prides themselves at producing fine, quality home furnishings for you and your family.

Generally, the seating comfort is selected at the time the order is placed at the local retail dealership. If you have a concern regarding the comfort of your furniture, please contact the independent retail dealership where it was purchased. They will need to inspect it to determine if it meets our manufacturing specifications. If they find that it does, the dealer would not be able to make any changes to the product.

My furniture was not delivered in its original shipping box, or the box was opened when my furniture was delivered, why?

Upon receipt of our furniture, it is the dealer's responsibility to "prep" the furniture just as a car is prepped before it is delivered to the consumer. In order for the dealer to do this, they must open the boxes and remove the furniture to ensure that everything meets our manufacturing specifications. Many dealers will then return the item back into the shipping box and some will blanket wrap the merchandise before delivering to your home.

What if after I receive my new furniture, I decide it doesn’t coordinate with my home décor as well as I thought it would. May I exchange it?

If I have purchased furniture and notice that the item(s) have since gone on sale, may I receive the sale price?

This would be the decision of the independent retail dealership. Normally the dealer's sale prices do not take effect until the day of the sale, so any type of price adjustment(s) would be at the dealer's discretion.
