OT please forgive me: La-z-boy or Barcalounger? - AudiWorld Forums
November 21, 2001 - I do know i want a recliner, and wanted to solicit opinions from anyone here who might have experience with these. In particular, the Barcalounger "Enterprise" looks awfully nice...ive a friend with a La-z-boy "Garrett" and he raves about it, it has heat and massage motors in it.

Barcalounger Vs. Lazy Boy Recliner: In-depth Differences With Features | Ralph's Way
September 9, 2022 - So, choosing one or the other comes down to what you need. If you want something more on the classy and standard side, I will go with Barcalounger. But if you are into modern features and styles, then Lazy Boy will suit your needs better.

Barcalounger vs Lazboy: which one is better? @ PissedConsumer
Product or Service Quality I had a lazy boy chair that I used daily for 14 yrs and it never gave me a minute of trouble. The upholstery remained as good as new showing no ware…. I have something else to compare My BarcaLounger broke down after only 6 months and I had it repaired.

February 13, 2023 - Be warned though, not all Barcaloungers are the same. I've had one for 20+ years now that I wanted to update. It was still super comfortable but was showing some wear and I wanted a more modern style. Bought a new Barcalounger and it is nowhere near the same quality or comfort.

January 7, 2010 - I have to be honest, I hated those chairs. I thought they were ugly and unsightly. How humbling now, especially given our ERGONOMICS focus here at ERGOLAB, to realize that La-Z-Boy and Barcalounger had it right all along.

I had never heard of them and didn't even know what they were saying for the longest time. I thought they were saying "Barkerlounger" and had to google it to know what they meant. I obviously knew they were referencing the chairs, but I had never heard of the brand before. Just wondered if anyone else experienced this or if I just grew up under a rock or something.

In my part of the world we just refer to them as La-Z-Boy recliners. La-Z-Boy is a brand name but also the general word we use when talking about them. I hadn’t heard BarcaLounger before the show, so maybe it was a US term at the time.

Pretty sure it’s a brand name for comfy reclining chair. My great aunt had one so I knew what it was but they were big in the 80s and 90s. Edit: they were actually developed in the 40s so I’m a few decades off 😂

I can spring for the extra money for the Barcalounger if you folks think it's worth it. I did stop by the la z boy store and sat in some very comfortable chairs, but they were quite expensive and I'm leery of spending that money for them if their quality is now so poor.

Barcalounger: Leather Recliners from a Storied, Household Name Brand - Now at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet!
As we discussed above, Barcalounger is the brand name for recliners and other reclining upholstered seating made by Barcalounger (previously Barcalo Manufacturing Co.). However, much like their rivals at La-Z-Boy, these recliners became so popular after launching in 1940, that the term “Barcalounger” became synonymous with “recliner” in American popular culture.

We had a La-Z-Boy for twenty years that appeared to be quality merchandise... except that we made an unwise choice of fabric, a sort of woven-burlap fabric, which never tore or wore through but slowly and gradually got shabbier over the years. We eventually replaced it with a BarcaLounger, which we've had for nearly twenty years, and also appears to be quality merchandise, with the leather cover showing very little wear.

r/BuyItForLife on Reddit: Is a La-Z-Boy the best recliner?
October 30, 2024 -
I purchased a recliner that wasn't anywhere near a top-quality brand or price, and it just hasn't been comfortable.
I want to gift myself an early birthday present and get a nice recliner. Would a La-Z-Boy be my best choice? If so, I would want a manual one with no electronics included. Any suggestions?

No, they’re very bad quality now. I bought a nice looking leather reclining chair and sofa from them about eight years ago. After three years, the “leather” started peeling. They both look like absolute garbage now. Their service is also non-existent. I tried to have them fix it under warranty but they blamed it on me, claiming that I must have used a cleaner on it (I did not) or that I had greasy hair (???). I had, however, purchased their extended warranty, so I contacted the company that ran the extended warranty who also refused to fix it because they said it was a manufacturer defect. So they don’t stand behind their product or their extended warranty. Terrible company. Update: The specific store I dealt with was… La-Z-Boy Home Furnishings & Decor 2133 E Springs Dr Madison, WI 53704

No, absolutely not. La-Z-Boy is lower quality. See this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/furniture/comments/kimdvj/lazboy_quality/ And see this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyItForLife/comments/1697y70/comment/jz0mj6g/ For higher quality USA-made brands, Taylor King still has a good selection of manual recliners. Hancock and Moore offers lots of recliners, but I think there's been a transition to mostly powered units. You'll need to check. Century also sells a few manual recliner models. If you prefer modern styles, have a look at Himolla, a German brand. Their overall and motion mechanism quality should surpass American offerings.

La-Z-Boy used to be a punchline. Now it’s an aspirational brand.
January 8, 2020 - Like Jell-O and Kleenex, the term “La-Z-Boy” is a genericized trademark that’s used to apply to a whole class of furniture, usually recliners, due to their popularity and the memorability of the brand name. There was a time when the Barcalounger dominated in popular culture and we spoke far more about the Morris chair, but only the La-Z-Boy occupies such a massive space in the popular imagination now that it’s a shorthand for every recliner ever made.
