An 87-inch La-Z-Boy reclining sofa may weigh roughly 200–235 pounds (91–107 kg), depending on the model and reclining features.
For example, La-Z-Boy lists its 87-inch Dutton Reclining Sofa at about 201 pounds (91 kg). The Dutton Power Reclining Sofa with Headrest weighs about 224.5 pounds (102 kg), while the power version with headrest and lumbar weighs about 234.5 pounds (106 kg).
If you know the exact model name or style number, check La-Z-Boy's product specifications for the most accurate weight.
Typical Sofa and Recliner Weights
For general moving estimates, furniture weights can fall within broad ranges like these:
| Furniture Type |
Approximate Weight |
| Standard recliner |
About 70–120 lbs. (32–54 kg) |
| Power recliner |
About 90–150+ lbs. (41–68+ kg) |
| Standard sofa |
About 100–250+ lbs. (45–113+ kg) |
| Reclining sofa |
About 180–250+ lbs. (82–113+ kg) |
| Sectional sofa |
About 200–400+ lbs. (91–181+ kg) |
Actual weight varies considerably based on the furniture's size, frame construction, upholstery, reclining mechanism, and additional features.
Why Are Reclining Sofas Heavier?
Reclining sofas are generally heavier than standard sofas because they contain metal reclining mechanisms, reinforced components, footrests, and, on power models, motors and electrical components.
Because an 87-inch reclining sofa can weigh more than 200 pounds and is bulky, don't attempt to move it alone. At least two people are typically needed, and heavier models or difficult access conditions may require additional help and appropriate moving equipment.
