Unique Features of the Liam Recliner

The Liam Recliner combines clean lines, a refined silhouette, and a tall, cozy back to create a chair that offers both exceptional comfort and style. Designed to fit seamlessly into both modern and traditional interiors, the Liam Recliner strikes the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality, making it an ideal addition to any living room or sitting area.

One of the defining characteristics of the Liam Recliner is its structured flared arms, which are both functional and elegant. These arms have a gentle taper down to the seat, offering a sleek and contemporary look while providing ample support for your arms when you’re relaxing.

The flared arms contribute to the recliner’s clean, sophisticated design, adding a refined touch to its overall appearance.

The triple-split blown fiber back is designed for comfort and durability. The fiber fill provides ample cushioning and support while maintaining its shape over time, ensuring that the back stays plush and supportive.

The supportive foam chaise seat and footrest offer a seamless, uninterrupted surface for ultimate comfort. This continuous design ensures you’re fully supported from head to toe, making this recliner chair a perfect spot for unwinding after a long day.

The recliner is handsomely accented with standard-gauge single-needle topstitching, which adds a subtle, refined detail to the upholstery. This stitching reinforces the quality of the chair’s construction while contributing to its overall tailored look.

The Liam Recliner is not just about looks—it’s designed for total comfort. The Liam Rocking Recliner rocks and reclines, allowing you to adjust the chair to your preferred position for ultimate relaxation.

The back ratchets down into 16 relaxing reclining positions, providing a wide range of angles to find the perfect sitting or lounging position. To achieve full recline, the chair requires approximately 12” of clearance space, allowing you to place it in smaller spaces without sacrificing the ability to fully recline.

The Liam Wall Recliner only requires 7” of clearance from the wall to fully recline, making the wall recliner the perfect recliner for small spaces.

For added convenience, the side-mounted handle allows you to easily lift the legrest into 3 supportive, safely locked positions, giving you full control over your reclining experience. Whether you want to elevate your legs slightly or fully extend them, the mechanism is simple and smooth, ensuring effortless adjustments to suit your comfort.

Liam Recliner Size & Dimensions

With a taller seat height, the Liam Recliner is a great recliner for tall people.

It is important to note that height guidelines are not set in stone at La-Z-Boy South Texas. Different furniture fits everybody differently, which makes it especially important for you to sit on the leather recliner yourself.

Liam Recliner Options & Upgrades

liam recliner options and upgrades

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.

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.

Cushion Upgrade

At an additional cost, the Liam Recliner cushions can also be upgraded to include firmer cushioning. Over time, your comfy 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 Liam 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.

Power Upgrade

The Liam Recliner is also available as an upgrade in 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.

You can also adjust the headrest of your Liam Recliner from a range of positions to help cradle your neck in comfort.

The power upgrade is great for anyone that has any mobility issues or a harder time pushing back on the recliner in general.

Power Upgrade with Adjustable Headrest

As noted above, you can upgrade the Liam Recliner to power.

Unlike manual furniture that uses a handle or latch, power recliners come with a control panel or a wireless remote for easy reclining at the touch of a button. You can also adjust the headrest support with this convenient feature.

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.

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 love 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 Liam Recliner 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.

Cost of the Liam Recliner

The Liam Rocking Recliner has a starting cost of $839, while the Wall Recliner has a starting cost of $889. Keep in mind that this is only a starting cost that does 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 July 2nd, 2024.

Does the Liam Recliner Include a Warranty?

If you want to have a furniture protection plan for your new leather rocker recliner, you’ll be pleased to know that both the wall and rocking recliner include 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 zero wall recliner gets accidentally damaged, it will be covered.

For a given period, the fabric or leather of the Liam 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.
