Ekornes

Features and Benefits

In Norway, legend has it that the most inventive and hardworking people come from Sunnmore, birthplace of Ekornes'® founder, Jens E. Ekornes.  In 1934, Jens returned from a trip abroad with new methods of manufacturing mattress spring coils for the region's growing furniture industry.  A few years later, his new company launched the "Svane" mattress which became a best seller in Norway.  In 1948 Ekornes developed the innovative Swing Bed and the world's first sofa bed.  Today Ekornes® is Scandinavia's leading furniture manufacturer, exporting to 40 countries worldwide!

Stressless® was created in 1971 with a patented mechanism that established a new standard of comfort.  In 1991 the PlusTM System was added, which provides correct neck and lumbar support in all upright and reclining positions.  Two years later we introduced the sensational Stressless® sofa, with individually reclining seats.

Stressless® is the most comfortable recliner you'll ever own!

Today's Stressless® is the result of a continuous application of new ideas and new technology. Ekornes'® designers, engineers, and production staff work together to ensure the highest quality in comfort-engineering. There are easier ways to manufacture recliners, but building a Stressless® doesn't allow for any shortcuts. Our unique recliner is designed to deliver exceptional support for years to come.

Choose the size that fits you best!

Every Stressless® model is available in two or three sizes since people come in all different sizes. These size options allow two (or three) different sized Stressless® models to sit in the same room without compromising style.


Height-Adjustable Headrest

The height-adjustable headrest on many Stressless® recliner and sofa models allows everyone - short, tall, or in-between - to create a personal comfort zone.


PlusTM system

Lean back and the headrest adjusts automatically! Read or watch TV, even in the reclined position. With the PlusTM system, adjustments of the lumbar support are made at the same time. Whether upright or reclined, you'll always be given the proper support for your body.


Stressless® Knob

With a slight twist of the Stressless® knob, you can adjust the sliding function once and for all. The seat and back automatically move to provide continued support according to your own body weight.


360 Degree Swivel

You never feel boxed-in with a Stressless® because the smooth-swiveling base lets you revolve a full 360 degrees with just a slight touch of your foot. The unique double-stem construction ensures stability and strength for the lifetime of the chair.


Free-Standing, Tilting Ottoman

Move the lightweight, free-standing ottoman to cradle your lower legs and feet in the optimum position for your height. Our ottomans are so comfortable they double- duty as extra seating. Every Stressless® Recliner has its own ottoman in the same design and finish.  The new built-in glide function allows the ottoman to automatically adjust to your body movements for the ultimate in comfort.
