Two features of the Stressless® have contributed most to garner the support of the ACA.  The Plus^TM System moves the headrest slightly forward as the chair glides back, allowing for easy reading, television watching or net surfing.  Then, with a quick snap of the headrest, it lies flat for maximum relaxation.  In addition, the Stressless® incorporates a lumbar support system that matches the changing contours of one's lumbar area.  As the chair glides to recline, the lumbar area curves outward to offer continual support of the lower back area.

The chair features are further enhanced by choosing the correct Stressless® size.  Ekornes was the first company in the market to take into account that people with different builds need to have different chair sizes in order to sit comfortably.  Ekornes has been producing the Stressless® designs in various sizes since 1996.  Currently, all Stressless® recliner styles come in two sizes, with some styles available in three, as shown at left.  The company also produces two- and three-seat sofas in styles to match the various Stressless® recliner designs.  Most sofas are available with stationary backs, or with the individually reclining backs featuring the world-renown Stressless® features.
