Stressless® Consul Recliner with Classic Base and Footstool
Embrace the true essence of pure Scandinavian minimalism. Whether you are outfitting a sophisticated home office or a tranquil reading corner, finding the right piece among the world’s high-end ergonomic reclining chairs requires a keen eye for both aesthetic restraint and orthopedic excellence. This comprehensive guide introduces the Stressless® Consul Recliner featuring the Classic Base and matching Footstool by Ekornes. It is a legendary model, beloved globally for its firm, tailored support and its remarkably sleek, unassuming profile.
1. The Benchmark of Minimalist Design
The Consul is the quintessential Stressless chair. It steers clear of overstuffed, puffy aesthetics in favor of clean, architectural lines and a beautifully streamlined silhouette. The cushioning is dense and supportive, providing a tailored sit that professionals and design purists adore.
This exact configuration is anchored by the celebrated Classic Base. Crafted from solid wood and shaped into an elegant hourglass, this base infuses the chair with natural warmth and traditional charm. By selecting from a variety of rich wood finishes, from a modern Whitewash to a classic Teak, you can easily customize the chair to match your existing architectural trim or hardwood floors.
2. The Core Differentiator: Pure, Frictionless Motion
The beauty of this manual recliner lies in its complete independence from motors and power cords. The chair moves entirely in harmony with your body, utilizing Ekornes’ time-tested mechanical innovations:
- The Glide™ System: Hidden tension wheels on both sides of the chair can be easily adjusted to match your body weight. Once set, reclining is a completely frictionless experience. You simply shift your weight backward to recline and lean forward to sit up straight, with no cumbersome levers to pull.
- Unrestricted Placement: Because it operates manually and utilizes a freestanding footstool, you have absolute freedom to place the Consul anywhere in your home, completely independent of wall outlets.
3. Key Comfort and Ergonomic Enhancements
Beneath the Consul’s crisp exterior lies a highly advanced orthopedic support system:
- The Plus™ System: This internal steel framework is the heart of the Stressless experience. As you glide backward, the system automatically adjusts to maintain continuous, flawless support for your lumbar region and neck, preventing you from ever sinking into a poorly aligned posture.
- Ergonomic Freestanding Footstool: The separate ottoman does much more than hold your feet. It is engineered with a built-in tilt function that adapts to the angle of your legs, taking pressure off your knees and facilitating better blood circulation throughout your lower body.
- 360-Degree Swivel: The solid wood base features an integrated, whisper-quiet glide ring, allowing you to seamlessly rotate the chair to face a window, a television, or a conversation area.
4. Dimensions and Spatial Fit
The Consul is celebrated for its incredibly neat and compact footprint. It delivers full-body support without visually cluttering smaller spaces. The standard measurements for the Medium size are:
- Width: 29.9 inches
- Depth: 27.9 inches
- Maximum Height: 39.4 inches
- Seat Height: 15.7 inches
Styling Tip: The Consul’s trim profile makes it the ultimate executive chair. Pair it with an optional Stressless Elevator Ring to raise the seat height, or add an attachable Swing Table to turn this recliner into the most comfortable workstation imaginable.
5. How the Classic Consul Compares
To ensure this is the exact model that meets your needs, here is how the Consul Classic compares to its peers:
- Compared to the Mayfair or Admiral: Models like the Mayfair and Admiral feature much softer, overstuffed cushioning and a wider footprint. The Consul is designed for those who prefer a firmer sit and a more structured, tailored aesthetic.
- Compared to the Consul Power Recliner: The Power version integrates motors and a fold-out footrest directly into the chair. This Classic manual version is lighter, requires no electricity, and gives you the versatility of moving the ottoman around the room for extra seating.
6. Uncompromising Build Quality and Warranty
Manufactured in Norway with an uncompromising commitment to longevity, your chair is backed by the elite Ekornes warranty:
- 10 Years: Internal steel mechanism and structural framework.
- 10 Years: Molded cold-cured foam (ensuring the chair maintains its firm, supportive shape).
- 5 Years: The solid wood Classic Base.
- 1 Year: Premium leather or fabric upholstery.
7. Experience Tailored Comfort
The Stressless® Consul Recliner with the Classic Base and Footstool proves that less is truly more. It offers a masterfully restrained design that hides some of the most advanced ergonomic support systems in the furniture industry.

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.
