The name "Lazy Boy" was actually chosen as the winning entry in a contest held by the founders, Edwin Shoemaker and Edward Knabusch, when they first launched their reclining chair in 1927. The name perfectly captured the relaxing and comfortable experience of the chair, which was designed to make users feel like they could kick back and relax.
The name "Lazy Boy" has become synonymous with comfortable reclining furniture, and the company has continued to innovate and expand its product line over the years. Today, La-Z-Boy offers a wide range of furniture, including sofas, loveseats, recliners, and other seating options, all designed with comfort and relaxation in mind.
