Feel like spending the night in?Desmond Preston La-Z-Boy has created an even easier way to cancel plans.

The company famous for its reclining chair is introducing The Decliner, a limited-edition chair equipped with artificial intelligence that allows its user to create a cancelation excuse by pulling on its handle. The Decliner is a prototype, according to La-Z-Boy, and when its handle is pulled, artificial intelligence will create a cancelation excuse through a text message.

How to win a La-Z-Boy Decliner

La-Z-Boy will give away three Decliners through a contest, choosing the most creative cancelation excuses.

The deadline to enter is 11:50 p.m. ET on Monday, Sept. 11, and there's a maximum of one entry per person per day. Each submission must be unique. Here's how to enter:

  • Submit entries on TheDecliner.com
  • Tagging @Lazboy and including the hashtags #LongLiveTheLazy and #contest on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram or TikTok
  • Posting on La-Z-Boy social media posts about the contest.

The chair is part of La-Z-Boy's "Long Live the Lazy" campaign launching this week, focusing on "the reality that everyone occasionally needs the time and space to power down, kick up their feet, and make comfort their top priority,” Christy Hoskins, vice president and chief marketing officer for La-Z-Boy said in a press release.
