Stressless furniture construction.

Quality is in the details and Stressless furniture offers much in the way in quality and comfort. Stressless furniture features high-end flexo springs throughout their frames. These springs are made from steel and are integrated into the construction of every Stressless piece of furniture. Special foam padding is used to provide softness and a deep comfort when you're ready to sit back and relax. Super soft polyester fibers are used around the special foam padding to add to the comfort of every Stressless. You'll also find geniune quality leather in Stressless furniture and is available in several grades to choose from. Beechwood bases are stained and varnished in the finish of your choice. Stressless recliners have control wheels and adjustable headrests that allow the furniture to move with you. A sleep function is built into recliners and high-back models that allow you find a comfortable sleep position while sitting in your Stressless furniture.

Headrest tilt into sleeping position.

Stressless recliners feature the patented Plus TM headrest tilt feature. When you recline in the chair the headrest begins to move forward keeping you eye level while watching TV or reading a book. A new design element with the Stressless headrest tilt feature is the ability to put it into a flat sleeping position. When reclined reach with both of yours hand back behind your head and grab the headrest. Pull it forward while your head is in the same position and then release. The headrest should now be unlocked into the flatter sleep position. When the chair moves back up into a sitting position the headrest will reset automatically back into the tilt feature.

Automatic lumbar system.

One of the most important features of a Stressless is the patented Plus TM lumbar system. It was created to assist individuals who experience lower back pain or are simply looking for better back support in a recliner. The lumbar system is designed around a high strength flexo spring that supports the curvature of your back. In an upright position it curves outward to your lower back to provide support. As you recline the chair back the lumbar curve slowly flattens to move with your back which will now be flatter against the backrest of the recliner. This specific support system earned Ekornes an endorsement by the American Chiropractic Association in recognition of its superior back and spine supporting function.

Stressless glide system.

The patented glide feature from Stressless is a unique innovation developed decades ago and continues to be moderinzed and improved upon. Stressless recliners were the first recliner ever to feature a glide system that automatically adjusts to your body weight as you recline. Ekornes is proud of this unique Scandinavian design as well they should be which features no buttons, no levers and no pull handles. Two rounded knobs on each side of the chair control the tension of the recline and are set to your unique body weight. The recliner works with your body and goes into whatever position you lean into. Simple and highly functional.

360 degree swivel base.

Stressless recliners feature a concealed high density nylon ring built into the base of each chair. This ring allows the chair full 360 degree movement. This swivel base provides the ability to turn and move the chair to view any part of a room. Great for when you're entertaining and need to move your chair to a specific direction to speak to friends or family. Or if you want to enjoy television and be able to turn your chair for a quick view out the window the Stressless swivel base makes it easy.

Stressless tilt ottoman.

The ottoman can be set to be locked completely flat, can be unlocked for free movement or can be locked into an angle for optimum support and comfort. Beneath the ottoman are a series of tab locks that when pushed in or moved out will lock or unlock the ottoman for movement. Few if any freestanding ottomans feature this type of tilt adjustment.
