When you think of La-Z-Boy Recliner, you likely think of laid-back comfort! But it isn’t that easy.
In order to get the utmost comfort and enjoyment from your recliner, it is crucial that its dimensions fit your body size and shape.
Getting fitted for a recliner is comparable to getting fitted for new shoes. Although you may be going for style, if the shoe doesn’t fit your foot just right, it can lead to blisters, sore feet, and even potential back pain. Just like an uncomfortable shoe, an ill-fitting recliner can lead to unnecessary aches and pains.
As inventors of the reclining chair in 1927, we at La-Z-Boy furniture stores in Ottawa and Kingston have a wide variety of recliners suited for clients of all shapes and sizes.
As a tall person, a man or woman that is 5’10” and up, it is key to choose one of our oversized recliners that is the right match for your uniquely long body type to enjoy your chair with ease and relaxation.
More specifically, a tall person typically requires a large recliner chair that features a deep seat and a tall back in order to achieve proper knee and lumbar support.
Finding a recliner that is the perfect fit isn’t always easy. It often requires the help and expertise of a trained La-Z-Boy design consultant.
To get you started, Kim Wade, the manager of La-Z-Boy Cyrville, has helped narrow down your choices by putting together a list of the best recliners for tall people.

How Do You Know If a Recliner Is the Right Fit For You?
Before we get to our list of the five best recliners for tall individuals, you have to successfully narrow down your search among the countless options available at La-Z-Boy.
To ensure a recliner is the right size, check that your feet touch the floor when seated, your knees are at a 90-degree angle, and your head is supported comfortably. Consider adjustable features like headrest and lumbar support for a personalized fit, which can accommodate varying heights and preferences.
