How to Choose the Right Stressless Recliner
How to Choose the Right
Stressless® Recliner
A quick guide before you come sit in one
Stressless® offers a wide range of recliners, and choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. After years of helping customers find their perfect chair, we've narrowed it down to three things that matter most.
Find the Right Size
Most Stressless® recliners come in three sizes — small, medium, and large. The right fit means your head, neck, and lumbar all land in the right zones. It makes a real difference in comfort.
| Size | Seat Width | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 17–19" | Up to 5'5" |
| Medium | 20–22" | 5'5" – 5'11" |
| Large | 22–24" | 5'11" and up |
Choose Your Base
The base changes both the look and the feel. Every option swivels 360° and features the BalanceAdapt™ system.
Classic
Bent beechwood. Clean Scandinavian look. Best on carpet.
Signature
Wood + aluminum. Works on any floor. Most popular.
Cross
Four-leg steel. Modern and minimal. Great on hard floors.
Power
Integrated footrest. No ottoman needed. Sleek, modern profile.
Pick Your Leather or Fabric
Over 100 leather colors plus fabric options. Paloma is the most popular — soft, durable, develops a beautiful patina. Batick is thicker with more structure. Fabric is great for warmth and texture.
We keep a wide range of swatches in the showroom so you can compare in person.
The most important thing is that the chair fits your body. That's something you can really only determine by sitting in one — and that's what we're here for.
