9205L Big & Tall Power Lift Recliner vs La-Z-Boy Astor Platinum Power Lift Recliner

Buy the 9205L if you are big or tall or need a 400 lb rating. Its 27.5-inch seat, taller back and 180-degree lay-flat recline fit users from about 5'7" to 6'6", and its 1,836 ratings average 4.7. The La-Z-Boy Astor is the better-built, better-supported chair for average-sized users: a 19-inch seat, power headrest and lumbar, and a brand with decades of lift-chair service behind it. The 9205L wins on size and range of motion; the Astor wins on fit and finish and long-term support.

• Choose the 9205L if you are broad or tall, weigh near 400 lb, or want a chair that reclines fully flat with heat and massage.
• Choose the Astor if you are average-sized, want a power headrest and lumbar, and value a long-established brand and dealer service over a wide seat.
