Here are some tips for deciding the best Stressless recliner to fit your needs.
1. Find Your Favorite Model
While 60 configurations may seem like a lot to choose from, you can narrow down your search for the perfect Stressless recliner by first deciding from one of 13 unique styles. While some models may look deceptively similar, each style has unique padding, cushioning, stitching, and specific features, so they will actually feel different.
A feature that is only available on some chairs is the adjustable headrest. If you are especially tall, this may be an important feature to consider when making your choice. We recommend taking the time to sit in each model to determine which is the most comfortable Stressless recliner for you.
2. Choose Your Size
One of the primary factors you should consider when choosing the right Stressless recliner for you is size. Most Stressless recliners now come in three sizes – Small, Medium, and Large – to accommodate any body type, no matter the model. The depth of the seat, the height of the back, and the width all change from one size to the next, meaning the positioning of support changes from one size chair to another as well.
Height is generally the first characteristic that people consider when choosing their perfectly sized recliner. Large is often the best size choice of Stressless recliners for tall men – however, there are other features to consider. Be sure to account for your body type, weight, and the length of your torso as well when evaluating which Stressless recliner is best for you.
3. Select Your Base
There are three common bases across all Stressless recliner styles – Classic, Signature, and LegComfort.
The Classic Base is the original base from the Stressless line, featuring a wooden Scandinavian look that has been in style for years. The Classic Base swivels but not rock, making it easy to get in and out of.
The Signature Base allows you to have more movement than the Classic, with flexibility for slight rocking and effortless swiveling. The mechanism also sits about one inch higher off the ground than the other bases and allows for a slightly deeper recline. Chrome and aluminum details give this base a more modern look.
The LegComfort Base is perfect if you don’t have room for a separate footstool to pair with your recliner. Discreet touch buttons on the side of the seat control this fully-integrated footrest. This base is only available with size Medium and Large recliners.
4. Customize Your Style
This is often the most fun part of choosing your Stressless recliner – choosing upholstery and color that will fit beautifully into your space! Whether you want the perfect neutral or a bright pop of color, you can be sure you will find what you’re looking for in the extensive range of color options.
Additionally, there are five luxurious, ethically-sourced types of leather available – Batick Leather, Paloma Leather, Cori Leather, Pioneer Leather, Noblesse Leather. You may want to consider aesthetics, softness, and durability when assessing these.
