Kensington Still Sells $499 La-Z-Boy Recliners

Kensington Furniture still sells La-Z-Boy recliners for $499, the same price Bob Barker used to give away on The Price Is Right back in 1985. The video is a quick, plainspoken reminder that a good recliner doesn't need to be complicated or expensive to be genuinely comfortable, and that Kensington has been a place to find one for a long time.

Where to buy La-Z-Boy recliners in South Jersey

Kensington Furniture, at 200 Tilton Road in Northfield, carries La-Z-Boy recliners, including models priced at $499, as Kensington explains in the video.

How much does a La-Z-Boy recliner cost at Kensington?

Kensington's La-Z-Boy recliners start at $499, the exact figure referenced in the video's comparison to the 1985 Price Is Right giveaways. That's the number called out on camera, so it's worth confirming current pricing and available styles when you visit, since selection and finishes can vary.

What hasn't changed since 1985

The point of the video isn't nostalgia for its own sake. It's that the core things people love about a La-Z-Boy recliner, the comfort and the reclining mechanism, have stayed consistent over decades. As Kensington puts it in the video, "The comfort hasn't changed. Quality of the mechanism is still as famous as it was." That's the pitch: a recliner built on a formula that's been proven out over a long stretch of time, not reinvented every season just to look different.

Why this matters if you're recliner shopping

Recliners are one of those purchases where a lot of people want the same basic thing: a chair that reclines smoothly, holds up over years of daily use, and doesn't wear out or squeak after a few months. La-Z-Boy's reputation was built on exactly that kind of durability and comfort, and Kensington's message here is simple: that reputation still holds, and it's still available at a price point that hasn't moved much since the 1980s.
