The La-Z-Boy Lancer is one of those recliners that earns its place in a room over years of daily use. The tall, curved back is detailed with channel stitching, and the pillow-top arms give it a relaxed, lived-in look that reads as casual without feeling cheap. In navy, it brings a clean, grounded presence to any seating arrangement.
The reclining mechanism is a genuine strength here. The back reclines independently through 16 positions — so you can lean back without popping the footrest, which is useful when you want to settle in but keep your feet on the floor. When you're ready to put your feet up, a side-mounted handle lifts the legrest into three locked positions. Close the footrest and the chair becomes a rocker, with a smooth motion that doesn't require any adjustment or mode-switching. Roughly 12 inches of clearance behind the chair is needed for the full recline.
Cushioning is built for the long haul: double-picked blown fiber fill in the back for lasting loft and shape, and high-grade foam in the seat that holds its feel and appearance with regular use. La-Z-Boy backs this one with their Limited Lifetime Warranty.
