La-Z-Boy Has Changed Their Recliners

ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- LA-Z-Boy was THE recliner to buy in years past. I bought a new one in 2011 and the quality is nowhere near the quality of the older chairs. A repair tech told me the company replaced the foam in the chairs with poly. The poly compacts leaving a hard surface. I've had the back replaced x 2 and the chair is still very uncomfortable.
Another repair tech told me there is still foam in a few of their chairs but the foam is not the same quality because foam is petroleum based. I love La-Z-Boy recliners because of the multiple positions I can use but I'm afraid I'm going to switch to another brand. I do not want to spend $1000.00 plus dollars every year or 2 for a chair. The mechanism in the chair has also been replaced.
A friend sat in my chair and said it was comfortable but about 10 minutes later he said this chair isn't very comfortable and the seat has gotten hard. I will say the local store was very helpful but the chair is still very uncomfortable. I'm giving up LA-Z-Boy after about 30 years of sitting in them.

Excellent review, and should be helpful to others.

La-Z-Boy is not the only one selling lower quality furniture. Three years ago I bought an expensive sofa/loveseat/recliner combo from a reputable store. The cushions were a pillow type which was very comfortable. Now they are all crushed and sagging looking totally worn out. I gave the set away and purchased new. Hopefully this set will last longer.

When my Dad moved several years ago he didn't have space in his new place for some older (around 1940's) chairs that had belonged to my Grandparents, with separate foot rests, so I bought them for $100 (whole set) and had them reupholstered (only the surface material-the stuffing and structure were not in need of any repairs) for about $350 each (including footrests). They are by far the most comfortable chairs in our house.
