When most people think of La-Z-Boy recliners, they picture cozy, classic comfort—and they wouldn’t be wrong. But what many don’t realize is just how many upgrade options are available to make your recliner even more personalized. From simple fixes to luxury-level enhancements, here are five surprising upgrades you can make to take your La-Z-Boy to the next level.
1. You Can Order Matching Fabric Covers for Extra Protection
Have you ever noticed wear and tear on your recliner's armrests or headrest over time? Many people don’t know that La-Z-Boy offers custom matching fabric covers designed specifically to help prevent that! These napkin-style covers come in the same fabric as your recliner or sofa and are a great way to extend the life of high-touch areas.
You can order:
• 2 piece arm covers for $79.95
• 3 pieces (2 for each arm and a headrest) $99.95
• 4 pieces (2 for each arm and two headrest) for sofa or loveseats. $129.95
These covers can be used as arm caps or headrest protectors, and they’re perfect for keeping your furniture looking like new—especially if you have pets, kids, or love to kick back every night.

2. There’s a Handle Extension for Petite Recliner Users
If you or a loved one has shorter arms or simply finds it difficult to reach the manual handle on a La-Z-Boy recliner, there’s an easy fix you might not know about. La-Z-Boy offers a Single Elongated Comfort Selector—a specially designed extended handle that adds two extra inches in length and it's only $19.99.
This small adjustment makes a big difference in accessibility and comfort, especially for petite users. It’s a simple add-on that helps make your recliner truly your own, and it can be ordered separately to retrofit most manual models.
3. Left-Handed? You Can Switch the Recliner Handle to the Left Side
Most recliners come with the handle located on the right side—but what if you're left-handed? La-Z-Boy makes it easy to customize your recliner to suit your needs. For $69.99, you can order a Left-Hand Comfort Selector, which moves the handle to the left side of the chair for easier reach and better functionality.
Even better, if you're a petite left-handed user, there’s a Left-Hand Elongated Comfort Selector available. It not only switches the handle to the left but also adds two extra inches in length, making it even easier to use. It’s a thoughtful upgrade that makes a big difference in daily comfort.
4. You Can Upgrade to Tempur-Pedic® Memory Foam Cushions
Yes, you read that right—La-Z-Boy recliners can be upgraded with TEMPURResponse® memory foam cushioning, the same type of material used in Tempur-Pedic® mattresses. This upgrade replaces the standard foam in the seat, chaise, legrest, and back of the recliner, giving you a next-level seating experience.
If you're someone who values pressure relief this upgrade is well worth considering. It brings a whole new level of personalized comfort to your recliner—ideal for relaxing, napping, or binging your favorite shows in luxurious support.
5. You Can Upgrade to Power or a Swivel Base (or Both!)
Think you’re stuck with a manual recliner forever? Think again. Nearly every La-Z-Boy recliner can be upgraded to a power model, giving you smooth, effortless reclining at the push of a button—or with a wireless remote, depending on the model. No more tugging on handles—just easy, adjustable comfort.
Want even more flexibility? You can also upgrade the base of many recliners to a swivel version.
• For manual recliners, you can add a 360-degree swivel base for just $139.
• For power recliners, certain styles support a 145-degree swivel base, combining movement and motorized comfort in one chair for just $149.
It’s a great way to customize your favorite seat to perfectly match your lifestyle and living space.
