Stressless® Magic Recliner with Cross Base and Ottoman
Surrender to a higher state of therapeutic luxury. When outfitting a contemporary home with high-end furniture, finding a piece among the world’s luxury manual recliners that delivers extreme orthopedic cushioning alongside architectural style is paramount. This detailed guide highlights the Stressless® Magic Recliner featuring the Cross Base and matching Ottoman by Ekornes. Known as the most deeply contoured, plush model in the collection, the Magic is designed for those who want an enveloping “cloud-like” sit paired with modern Scandinavian metal design.
1. The Magic Behind the Enveloping Comfort
The Magic is the undisputed crown jewel of plushness in the Stressless lineup. What sets its upper silhouette apart is the unique, sculpted zoning of the polyurethane foam. It features deep, pillowy channels that wrap around your torso, a heavily padded built-in headrest, and supportive, padded armrests that seamlessly flow with the frame. It is tailored to physically “hold” you, reducing pressure points across your entire body.
This luxuriously stuffed seat is beautifully contrasted by the sharp, architectural Cross Base. By replacing a traditional solid wood hourglass base with a star-shaped metallic foundation, the Magic is given a light, contemporary lift. Crafted from polished chrome or matte black aluminum, and accented with warm wood veneer, this base lets the plush chair fit effortlessly into modern and transitional homes.
2. The Core Differentiator: Weightless Rocking (BalanceAdapt™)
As a manual reclining chair, the Magic Cross operates without cables, buttons, or motors. Its movement is entirely responsive to your body weight, featuring two integrated kinetic systems:
- BalanceAdapt™ System: Built directly into the core of the Cross Base, this mechanism allows the entire chair to rock gently. As you shift your weight, the seat and back angle tilt in perfect alignment with your body’s center of gravity, delivering a soothing rocking motion.
- The Glide™ System: This system works in harmony with the rock. Once you adjust the knurled side tension wheels to match your body weight, reclining is completely seamless. Just lean back to recline and sit up to return to an upright position.
3. Key Comfort and Ergonomic Enhancements
The Magic Cross is loaded with patented Ekornes technologies to protect your back and neck:
- Adjustable Headrest & Backrest Height: To accommodate users of different heights, the deeply padded headrest can be manually pulled upward, extending the backrest height so the neck support aligns exactly with your frame.
- The Plus™ System: As you recline or rock, the internal steel skeleton automatically adjusts. It continuously increases lumbar support to keep your lower back aligned, while tilting the headrest slightly forward so your eyes remain comfortably focused on a TV or book.
- Responsive Footstool: The separate ottoman features a matching metal cross base. It has a built-in tilt function that shifts with the angle of your legs, easing pressure on your knees and improving lower-body circulation.
- 360-Degree Swivel: The star base houses a smooth swivel mechanism, allowing you to easily rotate the entire chair with a simple nudge.
4. Dimensions and Spatial Fit
The Magic is a substantial, roomy model built to offer maximum padding. The standard measurements for the Medium size are:
- Width: 32.3 inches
- Depth: 30.3 inches
- Maximum Height: 39.8 inches to 43.7 inches (Depending on headrest extension)
- Seat Height: 17.3 inches
Comfort Note: Because of the deep, enveloping contour of the Magic, the seat has a slightly snugger, more custom-fit feel compared to flatter models. Taller or broader individuals often prefer stepping up to the Large model to ensure plenty of room.
5. How the Magic Cross Compares
To confirm this is the ideal model for your home, consider how it stacks up against alternative options:
- Compared to the Magic with Classic Base: The Classic Base utilizes an all-wood hourglass shape and is entirely stationary. If you prefer a completely firm, stationary sit with no rocking, choose the Classic. If you want the soothing rocking motion of BalanceAdapt and a touch of modern metal, the Cross Base is the necessary upgrade.
- Compared to the Consul or Sunrise Cross: The Consul is highly structured and firm, and the Sunrise is a balanced medium. The Magic is the absolute softest and most deeply cushioned chair in the entire collection.
6. Uncompromising Build Quality and Warranty
Hand-assembled with strict environmental standards in Norway, your Stressless chair is an investment backed by an exceptional warranty:
- 10 Years: Internal steel reclining mechanism and frame.
- 10 Years: Molded cold-cured polyurethane foam (ensuring the cushions never lose their shape).
- 5 Years: Wood and aluminum base components.
- 1 Year: Premium leather or fabric upholstery.
7. Experience the Magic Firsthand
The Stressless® Magic Recliner with the Cross Base and Ottoman is a triumph of ergonomic engineering and contemporary style. It takes the softest, most contoured seat in the world and sets it upon a beautiful, rocking star-base, bringing ultimate physical restoration and classic Scandinavian elegance right into your home.

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.
