What Is Stressless Furniture?
Discover Unmatched Comfort at Art Sample Home
If you’re in the process of designing your dream space, you’ve likely heard of Stressless furniture—and for good reason. Available at Art Sample Home, this premium furniture line is known for blending sleek Scandinavian design with unmatched ergonomic support. Crafted by the Norwegian company Ekornes, Stressless recliners, sofas, and sectionals deliver long-term comfort, style, and personalized relaxation features that go beyond traditional furniture.
Whether you’re setting up a cozy reading nook, a luxurious home theater, or simply upgrading your living room furniture, investing in Stressless furniture is a choice your back—and your style—will thank you for.
A Brief History of Stressless Furniture
Ekornes Stressless introduced its first recliner in 1971. At a time when most recliners were bulky and offered little adaptability, Stressless created a sleek, modern recliner chair that moved with your body. It featured a unique Glide system, letting users naturally lean back without awkward levers, and a swivel base that added flexibility.
The company quickly gained momentum in Norway, and by the 1980s, Stressless had gone global—earning the Norwegian Export Prize in 1983. In the 1990s, they upped their game with a headrest that could adjust independently from the backrest. Later came the launch of the Stressless sofa, where each seat reclines individually—a feature that set a new bar in personalized comfort.
Today, Stressless furniture comes in many forms: recliners, sofas, office chairs, and sectionals—all designed for support, motion, and timeless appeal.
What Makes Stressless Furniture Stand Out?
1. Ergonomic Design
Stressless recliners and sofas are known for their built-in ergonomic systems, designed to reduce muscle strain and promote a healthier posture. Here’s how:
- Adjustable Reclining Positions – Easily move into your ideal lounging angle.
- Plus™ System – Provides continuous lumbar and neck support, especially helpful when reading or watching TV.
- Customizable Headrests – Perfect for finding the right head and neck position.

- Premium Leather and Fabrics – Soft to the touch and available in dozens of color options.
- Glide System – Automatically responds to your movements for seamless transitions.
- Comfort Zones™ – Specially designed areas that relieve pressure points.
3. Integrated Modern Technology

How Stressless Compares to Other Recliners
Wondering how Stressless furniture stacks up against competitors like La-Z-Boy or American Leather? Here’s what sets it apart:
➤ Support and Ergonomics
While La-Z-Boy and American Leather recliners offer great cushioning, only Stressless recliners feature the patented Plus™ system, which adjusts to your body as you move. That dynamic support helps reduce back strain and promote long-term comfort.
➤ Durability
Crafted in Norway using high-grade steel, molded foam, and top-quality upholstery, Ekornes Stressless furniture is designed to last for decades. Many alternatives begin to sag or creak with age—Stressless holds its shape and functionality year after year.
➤ Customization
Unlike many brands that offer limited options, Stressless furniture lets you choose size (small, medium, or large), base type (Classic, Signature, or Star), fabric/leather, and color—giving you complete control over your living room furniture setup. While American Leather may offer stylish pieces, Stressless leads in ergonomic options.
