Cover for a La-Z-Boy

Marion Nesbitt on Jan 08, 2015If you can detach the whole back part with the cushion attached, you might be able to make a pattern. Then you need a machine capable of sewing upholstery fabric. If you really love this chair (looks so comfy), I think I'd get a pro to do it.Helpful Reply

Penny on Jan 08, 2015I agree with @Marion Nesbitt. Try to make a pattern from the old material. What does the back of the chair look like? Is is covered in the black vinyl as well? If so, your options are limited, and it might prevent the option of a detached cushion for the back. I hope you have success with this project!Helpful Reply

Heather72 on Jan 08, 2015we took the cushions off and used them as a pattern, sewing the material tightly so that it fits over the foam tight and won't roll up when it is sat on. It can be done! Take your time, this may take many tears and a few cuss words but you can do it!Helpful Reply

Lynn Whinery on Jan 08, 2015I was planning on covering the arm cushions, and making a slip cover for the seat. The leather around the sides if the chair, and the skirt, are still in good condition. I'm beginning to think that the only simple solution to the back is to make an elasticized cover that will hug the cushion, and then add ties that would tie behind the chair to help keep it on. I have some heavy fabric that matches the couch pretty well, which should help make it work even if I don't do a fancy job. (I figure anything's an improvement over having a couple of old comforters tossed on it!)Helpful Reply

Julie Dever on Jan 08, 2015I agree....I once had a chair like this, wish I had paid to have it recovered...instead of giving it away. Mechanism was wonderful, Can trust a Laz-e-boy.Helpful Reply

Leslie@FarmFreshFun on Feb 25, 2015I tried a very simple, *temporary*, upholstery project on an antique rocker that looked similar. I stapled the fabric and covered with fabric trim… Ten years later (!!!) it still looks good. ;-)Helpful Reply
