Monroe, Mich. (PRWEB) January 6, 2009 -- Seventy-nine percent of Americans plan to watch the big game from home,* and for many that means parties! Because party crowds have varying degrees of interest in the game (http://www.football.com), making everyone comfortable could be a challenge. La-Z-Boy, known for providing comfortable furniture (http://www.la-z-boy.com) for more than 80 years, has written the playbook on the perfect party to accommodate armchair quarterbacks and fair-weather fans alike.

"Gameday parties are a tradition that many people look forward to - some have been involved with football (http://sports.yahoo.com) pools all season long and others are just there for the fun," says Penny Eudy, product manager for La-Z-Boy. "No matter the mix, it is important to create a comfortable viewing space for each partygoer."

For the Die-Hards:

Go the extra yard and truly epitomize comfort for serious fans with home theater seating (http://www.la-z-boy.com/furniture/product.aspx?pid=100), such as the La-Z-Boy "Matinee," complete with cup holders, and put-your-feet-up comfort that will ensure no one will want or need to budge.

For the Gossip Girls (and Guys):

Create a "social circle" for the guests who aren't into the game, closer to the kitchen and refreshments and away from those likely to throw a penalty flag if they miss a play. Utilize kitchen chairs or unused ottomans (http://www.la-z-boy.com/furniture/product.aspx?pid=5165) like the La-Z-Boy "Leo" that can easily be moved toward the TV at halftime and then back to the social circle.

For the Youth League:

Use a separate room with a smaller TV for children's activities and contests, and let their energy and creativity flow - without disrupting serious fans. Set up a comfortable area on the floor with blankets and throw pillows (http://www.la-z-boy.com/furniture/catalog.aspx?cid=83) so that the kids can be just as content as the winning team!

Game-time comfort can be found in all shapes and sizes at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, La-Z-Boy Comfort StudiosSM dealers and anywhere genuine La-Z-Boy furniture is sold. Consumers can visit la-z-boy.com to find the La-Z-Boy dealer nearest them.
