Now, with the bulk of Lazyboy recliner chairs, moving it from one place to another might be costly. Furniture such as recliners are usually shipped or transported through the following methods:

1. As freight
Shipping your recliner as freight is usually the least expensive method for shipping furniture. There are many courier services who accept furniture for shipping as freight. You can check the Yellow Pages for one nearest you. One important thing to note about shipping your recliner as freight is that you will be responsible for packaging, loading as well as unloading your recliner. If this doesn’t seem a problem, then shipping by freight is most economical.

2. Shipping through movers
If you can’t see yourself packing, more so loading and unloading your recliner, you might want to have it shipped through white glove movers. They offer door-to-door service and they are mainly responsible for packing away your recliner, loading and unloading them. This additional service, however, comes with hefty fees.

3. Renting or borrowing a truck
If you are moving not only your recliner but the rest of your furniture, it is best to rent a mover truck. There are surely a number of moving companies in your area. Again, renting a truck would mean that you will have to do the packing, loading and unloading yourself.

Remember that your recliner can be susceptible to frame damage and possible tear in the upholstery. It is a must that you carefully prepare it for shipping to avoid unnecessary damage. How do you prepare your Lazyboy recliner for shipping or transport?

First, make sure to remove all slipcovers, cushions and other loose parts. Wrap your recliner with some furniture removing pad or bubble wrap, to protect it from tears and rips. If you are shipping by freight, it is best that you crate your recliner to ensure proper packaging.

When loading your recliner, try not to lift it by the back or by the arms – these are usually the weakest points in the chair. Instead, lift the recliner from the bottom, which is its strongest point. Also, avoid dragging the recliner by one end. Try “walking it” by moving one side, then the other, in small steps to avoid damage. Make sure you don’t knock the legs and edges with against anything hard or sharp. It is also a good idea to put your recliner on furniture sliders so that positioning becomes easy.

Make sure you hire only the service of a good freight courier or moving company. Expect to pay a few hundred dollars to have your favorite recliner shipped or transported.

Arranging furniture is usually challenging especially if you have a lot of furniture in a room that is oddly shaped. However, with careful planning and a touch of creative thinking, you can achieve a space that is uncluttered and seemingly stress free. Here are some suggestions that can help you depending on the kind of room you have:

1. Room with windows
Place your recliner chair towards the center of the room to avoid damage on the upholstery because of too much sunlight. If you have a sofa, place your recliner at one end, depending on the style and space.

2. Room with low, curved ceiling
If you have a low ceiling, place your sofa against the long wall, and the TV on the opposite side. Place the recliner on the side of the sofa on the other long wall.

3. Room with a fireplace
If the recliner is in a room that has a fireplace, you would want the fireplace to be the focal point. Depending on the room’s shape and the location of the fireplace, put your sofa on the side with the longest wall space, and then place the recliner directly across from the sofa. Remember not to put it too close to the fireplace as heat can damage the upholstery

4. Small rooms
If you are placing a Lazyboy recliner in a small room and there isn’t really much space for your recliner, there are two things you can do. You can either find a small section that can be backed up to a corner, or put a sofa against one wall and put the recliner on one end across, depending on where your TV is.

5. Long and narrow room
If your room is of this type, place your TV on the part with the smallest room. Put the couch straight across, put your recliner on the other end, and angle it towards the center of the room and the television.

When buying a Lazyboy recliner, make sure that your room has enough space for it. Measure your available space and compare it with the recliner’s dimensions. Lazyboy recliners can take up some space, especially when reclined. It also has to be placed in certain areas – for example, away from direct sunlight or heat. It is therefore very important to plan and design the room in such a way that space is efficiently maximized, and you can get the utmost comfort and relaxation just the way you like it.

A Lazyboy product manual is important to get to know your recliner chair better. The manual contains the all too important assembly and operating instructions. It also includes safety instructions and tips to make sure that you take care of your recliner chair well. There is also a set of instructions on adjusting the tension and a guide on determining where to best place your Lazyboy recliner chair.

If you own a Lazyboy recliner chair with more advanced features, chances are, they are not as easy to operate as regular models – so you will need a Lazyboy manual even more. Although these features have been built with a user-friendly design, reading through your recliner manual will ensure that you use your expensive recliner chair the right way.

Where can you find a Lazyboy recliner manual? The product manual is not very difficult to find:

1. Part of the package
A Lazyboy manual is always included for every purchase. There are different product manuals from different products, so make sure you are getting the correct one. Make sure there is a manual included. If there is none, check with your dealer. They should be able to furnish you with one.

2. The Internet
If you have unfortunately lost the Lazyboy manual that came with your purchase, or if you have purchased a second hand Lazyboy recliner (which did not come with a manual), you can easily find a manual for your model by checking the Internet. Google away and you will be taken to a link which features the manual you need. Of course, most of these are electronic copies which you have to read on your computer. If you want a real copy, you can check eBay for listings of manuals being sold.

3. The Lazyboy website
The best and most convenient way to get a hand of a Lazyboy manual is checking the Lazyboy official website. The site hosts electronic copies of all of the product manuals for different models. Whether you need the manual for General Operating Instructions, or manuals for special models like Slumber Air, AirSpa Massage or Home Theater, there are download links that will lead you to them. Again, these are electronic copies which you can print for an actual, more convenient hard copy. Their website also has a search feature where you only fill in the product number of your recliner, and you will be taken to the corresponding manual you will need.

4. Authorized Lazyboy Dealer
Lazyboy product manuals are largely available in your local Lazyboy dealer or furniture shop. Your local dealer should be able to provide you a copy of the manual, but sometimes with a corresponding fee.

Lazyboy product manuals are not hard to find. Lazyboy sees to it that you have every resource you need to take care of, operate and use your recliner chair properly. For a complete list of Lazyboy manuals for download, you can visit the Lazyboy website.

How do you adjust the recliner tension?
Lazyboy recliners are equipped with either a pair of wing nuts or thumb wheels that allow adjustment of the reclining mechanism tension. With the leg rest closed, tilt your recliner chair forward such that you can access what is underneath. Some Lazyboy models have wing nuts, as in that on the Recline-Rocker and Relina-Way, while some have two thumb wheels in the place of wing nuts, such as that in the Recline Glider Swivel model. They can be located underneath, either towards the back or towards the center of the recliner. Wing nuts and thumb wheels can both be adjusted the same way.

To increase the reclining tension, simply turn the thumb wheels or the wing nuts in the clockwise direction by one quarter. Do the same for both sides. As expected, you can decrease the tension by turning the wing nuts or thumb wheels on both sides counter-clockwise by one quarter. It is very important that you adjust the tension on both sides equally, and to make one quarter of a turn each time until you finally feel comfortable. After turning both sides one quarter, put the chair back into its upright position and test the new reclining settings. Should further adjustment be required, repeat the steps and turn each side by another quarter of a turn.

When adjusting recliner tension, there is one imperative rule: never loosen or tighten the thumb wheels or wing nuts all the way. Doing this can potentially damage the tension spring. After making the necessary adjustments, make sure that the spring does not move on the bolt. When it does, turn the thumb wheel or wing nut crossswise by at least a half of a turn after tightening to make sure that the spring no longer moves. Conversely, the spring should not be completely pressed after the adjustments have been made. If it is, simply loosen the thumb wheels or wing nuts counter-clockwise to at least by a half of a turn.

For ultimate comfort, make sure you keep your recliner tension adjusted to suit your needs. Remember that Lazyboy recliners are made for relaxation. With the right tension for your size and build, your recliner will give you exactly that relaxation and more from the moment you sit, kick your shoes off, or laze away.
