Underneath the recliner typically on the bottom of the footrest there is usually a product label with the manufacturer info and model number. I would contact the manufacturer and see if they offer a swivel base for your model. Any other option that I can think of will probably raise the seat height by an inch or more.

I would be very cautious for a "universal" swivel base.
Thanks for your post. When I was shopping at White's Furniture, they told me that they could make any of their Lazy Boy recliners a swivel, swivel/rocker, or fixed type of recliner just by the type of base that they installed. The OP is looking for an adjustment to convert a fixed recliner into a swivel recliner, but I don't think that is possible without changing the base.
