The recliner, the ultimate in Lazy Boy Furniture?
So, we’ve established you’re at least a partially lazy boy, either your a little lazy, or a little boy, otherwise you’re probably not at the right site. Just what is your ideal chair? What piece of furniture was designed with folk like us in mind, what is indeed, the ultimate in Lazy Boy Furniture?
Surely the single piece of seating that springs to mind is the recliner, even the company after all lazy boy’s hearts, La-Z-Boy, produced the original recliner, so that’s got to be a match made in heaven?
La-Z-Boy were originally called the Floral City Furniture Co, founded in 1928 by cousins Edward Knabusch and Edwin Shoemaker in Michigan USA. The name La-Z-Boy was adopted in 1931 as a result of a contest between employees to come with a new name for the company, the same year that the cousins received the first ever patent for an automatic recliner.
Since those early days recliners have come in all shapes and sizes, but the basic concept remains the same. You sit in a recliner and all is well with the World, you lean back, the chair leans back with you, and somehow the World is even better.
While recliners remain basically the same in concept, technology and the World in general have moved on around them, the recliner is still suited ideally to all lazy boy’s seating needs. Reading, listening to the radio, television, satellite and cable, playing on your console… The recliner really can be the centre of any genuine lazy boy’s lifestyle.
But recliners are far from the only option out there, especially in Today’s market, so we’ll be looking at many more seating varieties at Lazy Boy Furniture than just those you can’t help but sit back and relax in.
