Stressless® Mayfair Recliner with Cross Base and Ottoman
Introduce a sense of elegant, timeless relaxation to your contemporary home. When selecting high-quality seating, finding a design that delivers perfect body support while complementing modern architecture is incredibly important. This comprehensive guide details the Stressless® Mayfair Recliner with the Cross Base and matching Ottoman by Ekornes. This specific combination is highly regarded as the absolute sweet spot in the Norwegian lineup, blending beloved, pillow-soft cushioning with a sharp, minimalist metal foundation.
1. Timeless Cozy Elegance Meets Modern Flare
The Mayfair is easily the most popular and iconic design in the entire Stressless family. Its upper frame is defined by beautiful, classic contours, deeply padded cushioning, and soft, welcoming armrests. Unlike more structured models, the Mayfair offers a gentle, cloud-like cradle that instantly makes you feel at ease. It is a highly versatile aesthetic that bridges the gap between traditional comfort and modern styling.
This classic, comforting seat is beautifully elevated by the sleek Cross Base. By replacing a traditional solid wood hourglass base with a star-shaped metal foundation, the Mayfair is given a light, architectural lift. Crafted from polished aluminum or matte black metal and accented with subtle wood veneer details, this base allows the cozy chair to blend seamlessly into open-concept living rooms, urban lofts, and sleek offices.
2. The Core Differentiator: Kinetic BalanceAdapt™ Rocking
As a completely manual recliner, the Mayfair Cross operates without the need for power cords, buttons, or noisy motors. The star-shaped metal base responds directly to your weight shifts, utilizing two highly advanced kinetic systems:
- BalanceAdapt™ Technology: Built right into the core of the base, this system introduces a gentle, soothing rocking motion. The seat and backrest tilt automatically to match your body’s center of gravity, keeping you in perfect, stress-free balance as you move.
- The Glide™ System: This system works in perfect harmony with the rocking base. Once you adjust the knurled side tension wheels once to your body weight, reclining is completely intuitive. You simply lean back to glide into a deep recline, and sit forward to return to an upright position.
3. Key Comfort and Ergonomic Enhancements
Beneath its luxurious upholstery, the Mayfair Cross houses advanced, patented systems designed to protect your spine and neck:
- The Plus™ System: This internal steel mechanism continuously reads your recline angle. As you lay back, it automatically increases lower-back support to fill the gap in your lumbar spine, while keeping your head tilted slightly forward for comfortable reading or television viewing.
- Ergonomic Freestanding Ottoman: The matching separate footstool is angled to follow the natural curve of your legs. It features a built-in tilt function that shifts with your leg position, easing pressure on your knees and improving lower-body circulation.
- 360-Degree Swivel: The star base houses a smooth, silent swivel ring, allowing you to easily rotate the entire chair with a simple nudge to face a window or join in a conversation.
4. Dimensions and Spatial Fit
The Mayfair is a highly accommodating design, offering a generous and cozy seating area. The standard measurements for the Medium size are:
- Width: 33.1 inches
- Depth: 29.1 inches
- Maximum Height: 40.2 inches
- Seat Height: 17.3 inches
Design Note: The wood and metal composition of the Cross Base is highly versatile. Choose a wood finish for the base accents that matches your flooring or cabinetry, and coordinate the metal frame with nearby light fixtures or metal table legs to create a unified look.
5. How the Mayfair Cross Compares
To ensure this exact configuration is the correct match for your home, consider how the Mayfair compares to alternative builds:
- Compared to the Mayfair with Classic Base: The Classic base is constructed entirely of wood and does not rock or tilt. If you prefer a completely grounded, firm, and stationary sit, choose the Classic. If you want a soft, fluid, and soothing rocking motion, the Cross Base is the necessary choice.
- Compared to the Consul or Reno Cross: The Consul is highly structured and firm, while the Reno is incredibly soft and heavily overstuffed. The Mayfair sits right in the golden middle, offering a cozy, cloud-like cradle that remains beautifully tailored and structured over years of use.
6. Uncompromising Build Quality and Warranty
Meticulously hand-assembled in Norway to ensure lifetime durability, your investment is safeguarded by an elite warranty program:
- 10 Years: Internal steel reclining mechanism and frame.
- 10 Years: Molded cold-cured polyurethane foam (ensuring the seat cushions never lose their supportive shape).
- 5 Years: Wood and aluminum components of the Cross Base.
- 1 Year: Premium leather or fabric upholstery.
7. Bring Ultimate Comfort Home
The Stressless® Mayfair Recliner with the Cross Base and Ottoman represents a brilliant achievement in Scandinavian kinetic design. By pairing the most popular, cloud-like seat in the portfolio with a beautiful, rocking star-base, it delivers an active, refreshing seating experience that keeps your body feeling aligned and completely at ease.

Materials
Paloma: Paloma is a slightly corrected leather with a combination of dyes and pigments that smoothes some of the leather’s structure (grain pattern). However, the grain structure of Paloma may vary slightly in some parts of the furniture, and minor colour nuances may also occur. Natural marks, scars, and insect bites remain and will appear in Paloma. A thin coat of lacquer gives Paloma some protection and simplifies cleaning, but Paloma does not have the same heavy-duty quality and protection as Batick and Cori. Due to its soft, natural, and comfortable expression, Paloma is a very popular choice.
Batick: Batick is a corrected, pigment-improved, and grain-embossed upholstery leather, which has had most of its natural marks removed. Batick may have a two-tone colour effect to liven up the surface. Batick is resistant to fading, although changes in colour will occur over time with use and exposure to light. A protective layer of lacquer simplifies cleaning. Simple cleaning, excellent utilization properties, and a favorable price make Batick a good choice.
Noblesse: Noblesse is the most exclusive quality leather offered by Stressless. A full-grain semi-aniline, it is dyed all the way through and has only a thin protective topcoat. This enables the leather to retain the natural softness and luster that characterises first-class furniture leather. A natural material like Noblesse retains its original grain and structure. Minor colour nuances and skin blemishes may also occur. Such individual details may lead to slight variations in different parts of the furniture. Although the topcoat provides a certain level of protection, Noblesse is the most delicate of the leathers used by Ekornes. It absorbs moisture easily and is more vulnerable to wear and tear, heat, sunlight, spills, and perspiration. Regular maintenance is important to maintain its attractive appearance.
Daisy: Daisy is an exceptionally soft and comfortable fabric made from recycled bottles. The silky-soft fiber is weaved with a light structure and a soft pile. The harmonious colour palette has a nice sheen and play created by a weave with different nuances and structure. Daisy is a good choice if you are looking for a sustainable and strong fabric with a soft touch and easy maintenance.
Dinamica: Dinamica is a well-known micro fibre-quality fabric, with an appearance that resembles suede leather. It is soft and very comfortable, breathable and non-static. Easy to keep clean and highly wear resistant.
Calido: Calido is a wool fabric with an exclusive look and feels comfortable and soft next to your skin. The fabric is available in a diverse and exclusive colour palette. Wool is a natural fibre that breathes, making it feel warm when it is cold and cool when it is hot.
Grace: Grace is a hardwearing fabric made from syntetic fibres. The soft, silky texture provides a fine sheen and an attractive interplay of colours. It has a high wear resistance, long durabilty and is easy to clean.
