Which is better for sleeping in the chair?

The MCombo R7891. It reclines fully flat, while the Astor is a standard power recliner that stops short of flat.

Is the La-Z-Boy Astor worth the extra money?

If you want fabric, power lumbar, an adjustable headrest and La-Z-Boy build quality, yes. If you mainly want massage and a flat recline, the MCombo gives more features for less.

The La-Z-Boy Astor is the safer bet for long-term durability. Faux leather on the MCombo tends to wear and crack sooner than the Astor's fabric.

Which fits a smaller room?

The Astor, at 35 inches wide versus 37.8 inches for the MCombo. Check the recline clearance behind each chair too.

Does either include massage?

Only the MCombo R7891, which has 8-point vibration massage and adjustable lumbar heat. The Astor has power lumbar support but no massage.

Which holds more weight?

The MCombo R7891 is rated to 350 lb. La-Z-Boy does not list a weight capacity for the Astor in the specs shown.
