Choosing a Stressless reclining chair is about finding the right combination of comfort, support and movement for you. Differences in chair size, shape and cushioning can make a noticeable difference.
At Vale Furnishers we've been helping customers choose Stressless chairs for over 30 years. Our advice is to try several options rather than deciding on a design before sitting in it.
Many Stressless recliners are available in Small, Medium and Large sizes. Your height or build alone won't necessarily determine which feels best.
We often begin with a Medium chair, then compare how the different sizes support your head and lower back and how snug or spacious the seat feels. Check that your feet rest comfortably when sitting upright.
A larger chair isn't automatically more comfortable. Try different sizes both upright and reclined.
The Stressless Glide system allows you to lean back without operating a handle. Adjusting the resistance can prevent the chair moving too freely or taking too much effort to recline.
The Stressless Plus system helps maintain support as you recline. The lumbar support moves forward to follow your lower back, reducing the gap that can otherwise develop. At the same time the headrest angles forward to support your head for watching television rather than leaving you looking at the ceiling. The sleeper function lets you move the headrest into a flatter position when you want to lie further back.
Try sitting upright, reclining to watch television and leaning further back to relax. Notice how the support changes and whether the movement feels natural.
Stressless offers different chair bases, including Classic timber designs, Signature pedestal bases and powered options. The appearance, movement and features differ, and availability depends on the chair.
Try the options before assuming powered is better: some customers prefer the natural manual glide, while others value electrical adjustment or an integrated footrest.
For compatible models an optional riser ring increases the chair height by approximately 2.5 cm. That may be useful if you prefer to sit higher or find getting up easier from a slightly higher seat.
We have riser rings available in our Ash Vale showroom so you can try the difference before deciding.
The matching footstool is an important part of the traditional Stressless reclining experience. Its position can be adjusted to suit your legs, and most Stressless footstools have a tilting top that follows your legs as you recline. This movement can also be locked.
When trying the chair and footstool together, let your ankles extend just beyond the edge of the stool. That allows your feet to hang naturally and helps the backs of your legs relax.
If you already own a chair and need a stool separately, our Leather Footstools and Fabric Footstools pages are useful starting points. Check the model, size and covering for a suitable match.
Our Stressless gallery lets you compare chair sizes, bases, support and reclining resistance in person. Spend time sitting as you would at home, with the footstool in place, before settling on the chair that feels right.
