When it comes to recliners, finding the perfect combination of comfort, support, and style is essential. For taller users, this can be especially challenging, as many recliners don’t provide enough room or support to accommodate longer limbs.

Enter the Redwood Recliner from La-Z-Boy South Texas, designed with taller individuals in mind while maintaining the luxurious comfort and rugged style that La-Z-Boy South Texas is known for. This recliner is perfect for those who want both functionality and aesthetic appeal in one.

In this article, we’ll explore the key features of the Redwood Recliner, including its heightened comfort, innovative design, and the extra support it offers to taller users.

Unique Features of the Redwood Recliner

The Redwood Recliner is designed with taller users in mind, offering a rugged, handsome style that doesn’t compromise on comfort.

This oversized recliner combines exceptional support with a bold design, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a stylish and functional chair that fits their needs and enhances the aesthetic of their living space.

One of the standout features of the Redwood Recliner is its tall cushioned back, which is specifically designed to provide ample support and comfort for taller individuals. The tall back offers full support for the head, neck, and upper back, ensuring you can sit back and relax for hours without feeling discomfort.

The extra height of the back allows for a more supportive, ergonomic seating experience, making it ideal for those who need an oversize recliner that accommodates their size.

The wide flared arms of the Redwood Recliner add a touch of bold, rugged style to the reclining chair, while also providing a comfortable resting place for your arms. These arms are generously padded, ensuring comfort when resting your arms or leaning on the sides, making the chair perfect for long periods of lounging or watching TV.

The flared design contributes to the chair’s strong, masculine look, enhancing its presence in any room.

The extra-deep chaise seat is designed for ultimate comfort, offering more room to stretch out and relax. This seat is paired with higher density foam, providing extra support and ensuring that the cushion maintains its shape over time.

The high-density foam prevents sagging, allowing you to enjoy consistent comfort and support throughout the day, whether you’re sitting upright or fully reclined. The deep chaise seat provides a continuous surface of comfort from the seat to the footrest, giving you a smooth, uninterrupted lounging experience.

The tall base, which adds an additional 1.5 inches in height, provides a more elevated seating position. This is particularly beneficial for taller users, as it makes getting in and out of the chair easier and more comfortable.

For added convenience, the Redwood Recliner is equipped with an elongated handle that is 2 inches longer than the standard handle. This extended handle ensures that you can easily adjust the recliner chair and leg rest, providing better accessibility for taller users who may find it difficult to reach the standard handle.

The new, roomier legrest provides even more comfort, with additional length to accommodate taller users. This extended leg rest ensures that your legs are fully supported, allowing you to stretch out and relax in total comfort.

With a taller seat height, the Redwood Recliner is a great recliner for tall people. It is particularly comfortable for individuals 6’3” and taller.

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 oversized leather recliner yourself.

Redwood Recliner Options & 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 Redwood 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 Redwood 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 Redwood 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 Redwood 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 Redwood 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 Redwood 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 Redwood Recliner

The Redwood Rocking Recliner has a starting cost of $1,189, while the Wall Recliner has a starting cost of $1,229. 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 22nd, 2024.

Does the Redwood Recliner Include a Warranty?

If you want to have a furniture protection plan for your new oversized 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 oversized power recliner gets accidentally damaged, it will be covered.

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