1. Highly ergonomically designed ergonomics
The architects who design high-end furniture know that they have strict standards they must adhere to. Like the elite engineers responsible for making iconic German luxury cars the best in the world, Ecornis engineers have a similar role. If they don’t do their job right, nothing else matters. Since the company’s beginnings in 1934, when German machinery was imported to create the first line of Ekornes furniture, the brand has always represented the ultimate in quality engineering. But what does that mean for you? Cloud-like comfort like you’ve never experienced in any chair or sofa. By combining the latest research in ergonomics with well-established principles of anatomical design to accommodate the mechanics and size of the human body at rest, the engineers who design the foundation and structure of Ekornes furniture set the highest standards for themselves. Only the best will do, and perfection is the goal.
2. Easy recline system that responds to your body
The craftsmen who engineer Ekornes Furniture have done their job extremely well creating reclining chairs that automatically adjust to your body weight. Imagine changing positions and not moving your muscles with difficulty. The wheelchair responds to the movement of your body weight and automatically adapts to the position you want. There are no levers to pull. There are no buttons to press. It’s like having a chair reading your thoughts. How does it work? Each Stressless Recliner comes equipped with Stressless Glide® wheels that can be adjusted to your desired setting. Once you choose your setup, the wheelchair does the rest. First, the ErgoAdaptâ„¢ system will automatically adjust the seating angle as soon as you sit down. After that, the Plus® system starts up. This is what enables the non-compressible chair to automatically position the seat to support your head and neck. It also moves to the correct lumbar position so you almost feel as if you are floating on water. That’s why this amazing line of sofas and chairs is called “Stressless.” Using your body’s natural shape and movement, the seating system responds to provide support and comfort on a whole new level.
3. Dream-like comfort
Once you settle in, you won’t believe how comfortable non-compressible chairs really are. Part of the reason is the easy reclining system but it’s also the construction of the furniture. The craftsmen who design and produce stress-free lounge chairs are considered innovators in the field of comfort. Form follows function, and the function of a wheelchair is to make you as comfortable as you were before. It’s not just the ergonomics. It’s not just easy lying down. It’s also the trademark Comfort Zoneâ„¢ in every piece made by Stressless. The seat features extra thick, perforated foam cushions that guide you into the most comfortable position for your body. The result: You will feel completely comfortable every time you sit in your recliner.
4. Timeless, unbeatable style
These luxurious luxury chairs aren’t just a great place to sit in… they’re exceptionally beautiful, too. The refined design of the Ekornes Stressless piece harkens back to the company’s Scandinavian roots, where simple lines and streamlined silhouettes define the colourway. It’s a clean, modern look that suits any decor, any home, any style, and any taste.
5. Premium materials
With everything that goes into creating the most comfortable chair on the planet, it would be a shame for Ekornes to use anything but the absolute best materials in their furniture. That’s why you’ll only find the gold standard components from top to bottom:
High grain leather. For many high-end products, the outer layer of cowhide is the most desirable type of leather. High-grain leather is flexible, maintains its color, and has a uniform appearance which is very important in Scandinavian furniture design. Sturdy base made of solid beech wood. One thing that truly sets quality furniture apart is the use of solid wood in the structure of each piece. Ekornes Stressless furniture is made from solid beech plywood, which provides a strong, long-lasting wooden frame. Solid internal support system. Stress-free strength of the piece is made possible by a single steel rod frame. There is no welding and no screws on this frame: just a single steel bar expertly formed to the perfect shape by Ekornes’ unique cold bending process. Individual springs. Like a high-quality mattress in the finest hotels or in the coolest homes, Ekornes Stressless features an internal system of individual springs. These springs are what provide you with superior lumbar support that you will love.
6. Long-term value
High-quality materials are great features to have in your furniture, but how does that translate into value for you? It’s simple, really: long-term value, the kind that creates heritage pieces for new generations. This steel bar found in every Ekornes Stressless chair or sofa is part of the reason these pieces last so long. As a result of using such premium materials as beech wood, high-quality leather and steel, the furniture is extremely strong and durable. You will be able to hand it down to many generations. No matter how much pressure you put on the frame, it will hold up and continue to provide amazing comfort. Top grain leather also adds to the long-term value of your Ekornes furniture. It is incredibly durable, has amazing flexibility, and is more stain resistant than other types of leather. You’ll be able to pass your piece on to subsequent generations and it will look practically like new. And the frame is solid beech wood? It is typical of fine furniture that is designed to last for generations. It’s part of the reason why you can see vintage Ekornes Stressless pieces for sale on eBay for over a thousand dollars!
