Stressless® Sam Power Recliner with Wood Disc Base

Step into the next generation of intelligent lounging. Curating the perfect luxury reclining chair means finding a piece that seamlessly blends state-of-the-art technology with timeless aesthetic appeal. In this comprehensive guide, we explore the Stressless® Sam Power Recliner with the Wood Disc Base by Ekornes. Boasting fully integrated motorized support and warm, sculptural lines, this chair is engineered for those who refuse to compromise on design or deep relaxation.

1. A Modern Scandinavian Masterpiece

True to its Norwegian heritage, the Stressless® Sam features a generous, open silhouette defined by soft, rounded shapes. It invites you to sit back and experience a masterclass in modern furniture making.

What makes this specific configuration so breathtaking is the “Wood” specification. Elegant wooden trim sweeps delicately under the armrests, pairing flawlessly with the beautifully laminated Wood Disc base. Available in rich finishes like Walnut, Natural Oak, or Whitewash Oak, these organic touches soften the chair’s high-tech nature, making it a stunning addition to contemporary living spaces.

2. The Core Differentiator: Synchronized 3-Motor Power

The defining feature of the Sam is its sophisticated, fully motorized motion system. Unlike manual chairs that require a separate ottoman, the Sam conceals a fully integrated, fold-out footrest right beneath the seat.

Equipped with three independent motors, the chair gives you absolute control over your comfort:

• Precision Adjustments: A slim, sleek remote control allows you to operate the backrest, leg support, and headrest angle individually.
• Magnetic Remote Storage: Never lose your controller again. The remote attaches directly to the side of the armrest via a hidden magnet for a clean, uncluttered look.
• Home Function: A single press of the “Home” button gracefully returns all three motors to their upright, folded starting positions simultaneously.

3. Key Comfort and Ergonomic Innovations

Even with its motorized upgrades, the Sam relies on Ekornes’ legendary ergonomic science to protect your spine:

• The Plus™ System: As the motors recline your back, the internal framework automatically synchronizes to provide continuous, perfect support for your lumbar region and neck.
• Dynamic Armrests: The armrests are intelligently designed to follow the movement of the backrest. This ensures your arms are always supported and eliminates any awkward gaps when you are fully reclined.
• 360-Degree Swivel: The solid Wood Disc base houses a smooth swivel mechanism, allowing you to easily rotate the chair to take in a view or join a conversation.
• Cordless Battery Option: If you want to float the chair in the center of your room without a power cord trailing across the floor, a discreet, rechargeable lithium battery pack can be added.

4. Dimensions and Spatial Fit

The Sam is built with generous proportions, making it incredibly accommodating, especially for users ranging from 5’5″ to 6’3″. Its dimensions are as follows:

• Width: 36.22 inches
• Depth (Upright): 37.80 inches
• Depth (Fully Extended): 71.65 inches
• Overall Height: 46.06 inches
• Seat Height: 20.08 inches

Room Planning Note: Because of the integrated footrest, ensure you have roughly 72 inches of clearance from the back of the chair to the front of the extended leg rest to enjoy the full lounging experience.

5. How the Sam Compares to Other Models

To ensure this is the exact right fit for your lifestyle, here is how the Sam contrasts with the rest of the Ekornes lineup:

• Compared to Classic Manual Chairs (like Consul or Reno): The Sam replaces the freestanding ottoman with a space-saving integrated footrest. It also trades the weight-shifted Glide™ system for effortless, push-button motorized control.
• Compared to the Adam Power Recliner: While both are motorized, the Adam focuses specifically on a “Zero-Gravity” tilting motion. The Sam offers a more traditional multi-motor recline with a generous, softer cushioning profile. Additionally, the Sam’s beautiful under-arm wood veneer trim gives it a distinctly warmer, more sculptural aesthetic compared to the Adam’s sleek minimalism.

6. Uncompromising Build Quality and Warranty

Hand-assembled with sustainability in mind, your Stressless Sam recliner is backed by an elite warranty to protect your investment:

• 10 Years: Internal mechanism and structural framework.
• 5 Years: Wood disc base, molded foam cushioning, and all power motors and electronic components.
• 2 Years: Rechargeable battery pack (if purchased).
• 1 Year: Premium leather or fabric upholstery.
