Stressless Recliner Review: Is it worth it?

[@jerryhutchison8952]

I bought a pair of medium size chairs soon after getting out of chiropractic college. One of the best investment I've made. After 40 years of use, I'm replacing them with another pair, due to very cracked leather. Mostly my fault for not using leather conditioner. But after 40 years, they show no signs of breaking down in comfort or the support system. They feel the same as new ones. After a long session of movie watching, I have no sore spots or hot spots, no back pain or stiffness. Really great chairs.

Reupholster them, dingus.

So many Stressless product reviews on KZbin are given by the SALES people selling them. It's more like an Ad. Not the kind of Consumer product review I am looking for.

[@g7majoh125]

Yeah that is also what I prefer to watch but there dont seem to be Consumer Reviews out there

[@dredprus]

I got mine as a gift from my mom back in '95 after a big time ski accident (a rogue tree). Use it almost daily and it is still fabulous. I abused the arms once and lifted it improperly. That got replaced and it is the same ever since. The position retention knobs on the sides could use a ratcheted interface to hold position more durably. Otherwise, no problems. Now, with my achy breaky back, I sleep in it routinely. All the family loves it. Yes it was worth the cost.

I’ve had mine for 15 years and it has served me well throughout, having survived 8 moves. The option to buy different sizes is very helpful and, as a taller person, I’m glad they have a larger size. They are, to be sure, quite expensive but are really in a different category from mass market furniture. I think that they are very attractive, but everyone has their own taste, of course. I find it extremely comfortable, but if you are looking for a recliner that you sink into like a big pillow, a Stressless recliner is probably not going to fit your needs.

[@SteveMe21685]

how tall are you and what size did you go with? I'm 6'2 so im thinking the xl right?

[@ukestudio3002]

I have 2 wingback stressless recliners with wooden bases and ottomans. Extremely comfortable especially the adjustable headrests (almost total reclining) that allow for power napping. Gorgeous as well, in dark brown leather . Great purchase; no regrets.

[@bryanmartin3403]

My seven year old $4000 chair needs all foam replaced at a cost of over $400. This is the second time for the headrest. Very disappointing. Don’t believe the sales pitch!

[@rodcoulter997]

Where/who did you get to replace the foam? ..STRESSLESS uses very cheap materials. Leather is good..about it.

[@bryanmartin3403]

I purchased the foam through the store where I bought the chairs it took about six months to come from Stressless. The new seat foam is already starting to flatten out. Friends have 30 year old Stressless chairs that are still in good shape, I think the company has changed priorities away from quality an using their former good name for profit.

[@rodcoulter997]

@@bryanmartin3403 Thanks….Euro trash junk now.

[@michaellatta]

Mine is 30 years old and other than the ink marks from one of my kids is still in great shape.

[@oicfas4523]

I'm ready to buy either one of the Stress less recliners or an Eames Lounge Chair. I've tried both and they're amazing, but the Seamless would be a bit of a savings. The most annoying thing is how hard is it to try out and buy these chairs. And, in the Eames case, it's hard to find for close to MSRP (the major dealer that sells them is way overpriced but none of the cheaper vendors even bothers returning an email if you aren't a commercial client buying dozens of them 😔) . Very frustrating. It's like they try hard not to make a few thousand dollars.

[@MrPHUCKYOURSELF]

I have two or the large magic chair with ottoman with the walnut wood base they call classic base. I love them. They’re comfortable and it’s my go to tv chair.

[@Barry4B]

Great sound track !

[@maorixp8812]

I wonder if these are as comfortable as the Nasa Relax Chair from Berg Furniture, they developed their special Century Foam over the years.

[@DanGilbert-zx1zz]

I have 2 Stressless chairs. One is the power recliner, not 2 years old and now will not operate. Come to find out power version is new and still has problems being worked out also not nearly as comfortable as non power unit. Motor is in the seat portion. Am I happy paying $3,500. for a chair that won't work after 18 months? Warranty work is in progress, 30 days now but still broken, asked to swap for non power chair was told no, they will fix it. Still waiting,...... PS, would not recommend.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

My non-powered chair works great, after 6 years of long term daily use. I sit in this thing at least 8 yrs a day, no lie. Would highly recommend.

[@Eric19401]

I'm glad to see these negatives aren't functional failings.

[@whitedogleeds]

I see all the trendy back shops sell Stressless. There's clearly a lot of money to be made in ergonomic equipment and accessories. I'm sure they're comfortable once you're in them. You rarely see video clips of people getting in and out of them, though. Unless you buy a power recliner that has one built in, you also have to get a separate foot rest. And as someone who has a recurring lower back issue, I'm not sure I'd want a recliner that swivels and rocks as I'm getting into it, never mind one that needs you to stretch your arms behind your head to pull on the head rest to get it into a sleeping position. My back would be in spasm in no time.

[@robertsancliffe1442]

Bought a large chair. After a couple of years the seat has flattened. They want over £200 to replace the foam filling.

[@Mike_Malloy]

I've been looking at Stressless. Very pricey indeed and if you want a different color leather other than their default color selection, well, that's going to add another $600 or more to the cost. If you choose a better grade leather than their basic leather, that'll add nearly $1K. Plus tax, plus shipping with a ~10 week delivery. Yeah, costs for Stressless can add up pretty fast so better choose wisely.

[@AmazonEnforcer]

Great video. Thanks for the recap. Tyler, as you are talking in the Signature Base chairs, the chair is moving again and again. Is the classic base better for stability? It might be unsettling to watch television in a chair that keeps moving ever so slightly.

[@macraghnaill3553]

The Signature chair is a rocking /swivel recliner

[@david1380]

Great selling points for such an expensive chair.

[@1965startrek]

Very expensive . I bought after a compression fracture of back. Sit down & pain gone very fast. All people who sit in it love it and seek it out next visit. Problems….very low. Have bad knees & torn rotator cuffs. I can no longer use. Anyone?? Ideas for raising the whole chair? Back getting worse.

[@sushilamendyk9284]

Always wondered how can this chair be that comfy

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Yeah, this guy didn't cover too much, just used some stock ad footage. Pretty weak video.

[@rodcoulter997]

POS ..cheaply made…Seat sinks 4-5” after 2 years….Wood base cracked($400 replaced) sit on 2 firm pillows and it’s still not right. Questionable components. Very disappointed.

[@Terrible_Peril]

imagine being like "our product is the only one of it's kind endorsed by [insert any unsavory cult]" and thinking that's okay.

[@californiadreaming567]

I prefer not to have leather too bad they don’t offer it in fabric

[@streamallday]

ekon-es? 😄 i thought it was pronounced e-corns (ekornes)

[@KingdomUploader]

After while - crocodile :)

[@ReclinerAmazon]

cool

[@Reaper-kf4yb]

catch you later aligator? seriously?

[@mrkymrk99]

😂 Yeah, lame!

[@taviyo]

I ordered one 4 months ago. Came with wrong parts. The store now has to reorder. I may have to wait another 4 months. Stressful is what they should call it. I regret ordering a €2000 chair. In the age of technology makes you wonder the scalability of this company. I saw the order from the furniture store and don't see how Ekornes got it wrong.

[@BoulevardHome]

Hello! We are sorry to hear about this. We hope the new parts come soon. It can be difficult for many stores to fulfill so many orders daily. We hope they fix your order soon. It will be worth it when your chair comes, they are so comfy! We wish you luck!

[@BoulevardHome]

@beko if you could provide us with more info we would be glad to look into any issue you may be having if you purchased from BlvdHome. Previous comments were from customers that have not purchased with us.

[@aomregcik]

Any good alternatives? The only other brand I know is Aero.

[@rodcoulter997]

Worth it…..NO way no how…..doesn’t last anymore…. Who cares about “sustainability” in Manufacturing….not me.

[@tom11zz884]

Stressless and overpriced...lol

[@bluemouse5039]

This chair looks like a overpriced swivel chair that would be used at a desk or office, I have a big plush Lazy boy recliner that will recline back almost flat and comfortable enough to fall asleep all night in, I doubt that Ekorne chair is that comfortable

[@user-ut8gh7ww9y]

I have had both... probably for sleeping all night lazyboy is better...

[@mikewolf3686]

Keep teelling yourself that.

[@tonvanderpol]

Stressless? Stressfull! Shocking expensive and even more shocking uncomfortable! Never stressless again. Worst furniture ever!

[@BoulevardHome]

Hi Ton! We are sorry to hear you haven't enjoyed your experience with Stressless recliners. Please reach out with any questions you have about Stressless or any other furniture.

[@macraghnaill3553]

TonVan der Pol, I agree, I would never buy another stressless chair, as you say, over priced and not very comfortable, Now had mine around 4 years, and that is 4 years too long

[@gummel82]

How is that a review. That's just a cheap sales pitch
