At Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, we know that shopping for reclining furniture is all about comfort. But once you step into the world of custom order, you quickly realize there are a lot more decisions to make than just “manual reclining vs power reclining.” That’s exactly why we created this series of Custom Order Guides — to walk you through each manufacturer’s options in a clear, straightforward way so you can feel confident about every choice.
Today, we’re featuring one of the most recognized names in furniture — La-Z-Boy. World-renowned for their recliners and motion seating, La-Z-Boy combines decades of innovation with a considerable range of customization options. Whether you’re designing a modular reclining sectional for the whole family, or choosing the perfect recliner just for you, this guide will help you understand exactly how the La-Z-Boy custom order process works.
La-Z-Boy | Customization Options
La-Z-Boy offers shoppers a great degree of flexibility when it comes to building custom reclining furniture. With currently 30 different styles and collections to choose from here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, there are pieces to fit a wide variety of design preferences — from transitional and traditional to sleek and contemporary.
Their customizable lineup includes rocker recliners, wall recliners, hi-leg recliners, modular reclining sectionals, reclining sofas, reclining loveseats and console loveseats, reclining chair-and-a-half designs and power reclining lift chairs. Nearly all product types are available in either manual or power reclining options, while lift chairs are power-operated only. Power models typically include power adjustable headrests, with the additional option of power adjustable lumbar supports for an even more personalized comfort experience.
When it comes to their upholstery, La-Z-Boy offers Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet shoppers more than 200 fabrics and leathers in a wide variety of hues, shades and patterns. Their upholstery catalog includes La-Z-Boy’s own iClean performance fabrics, which include a variety of pet-friendly materials, bleach-cleanable options, and even antimicrobial fabrics designed for active households. Whether your priority is durability, easy maintenance, or a bold design statement, there’s a material that fits your lifestyle.
Depending on the collection you choose, additional customization is also available. You can choose from different comfort selectors (i.e. La-Z-Boy’s manual reclining handles), choose finishes for exposed wood legs or trim, switch recline controls from their standard right side to the left side configuration, replace the standard power control panel with a wired hand wand, or even add a swivel base to all rocker recliners. These details may seem small, but for motion furniture, they represent a significant level of customization you don't typically find elsewhere. After all, these finer points of personalization make a big difference in how your furniture fits your space and in your life.
As of this writing, La-Z-Boy’s custom order timeframe is approximately 6 to 8 weeks from order placement to delivery, allowing you to enjoy furniture built specifically for you without an extended wait.
La-Z-Boy | Custom Order Process
Here’s what the process looks like when you design your custom reclining La-Z-Boy furniture at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet:
1) Choose Your Collection & Style
Start by selecting one of our 30 available La-Z-Boy styles and collections. Think about your home’s aesthetic — are you looking for clean lines and modern simplicity, or something more traditional and plush? This step sets the tone for everything else.
2) Choose Your Furniture Type
Next, decide what type of seating best suits your space. Are you building a large modular reclining sectional? Choosing a reclining loveseat with a center console? Shopping for a lift chair for a loved one? Perhaps you’re outfitting an entire den or great room with upholstered seating. This is where functionality meets design.
3) Choose Your Upholstery Fabric or Leather
Now it’s time to personalize the look and feel. Browse through more than 200 fabrics and leathers, including performance materials specifically engineered for busy households. Our team can help you compare options and choose a covering that balances style and durability.
4) Choose Your Extras
Depending on your collection and furniture type, this is where you fine-tune the details. Select your reclining mechanism (manual or power), choose your headrest and lumbar upgrades, adjust control placement, pick wood finishes,
or add a swivel base. For modular sectionals this is where you’ll choose your desired component pieces. Whatever you choose, we’ll walk you through which options are available for your specific frame.
5) Finalize Your Order
Your last step here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet is to finalize your order. All that’s left to do is to sign your custom order confirming your selections above and to put down the deposit required for custom orders. Once your custom upholstery comes in — typically within 6 to 8 weeks — we’ll contact you to schedule delivery or pickup and to pay the remaining balance.
