Stressless® Consul Classic Power Leg & Back Recliner
Redefine your downtime with a chair that perfectly marries minimalist Scandinavian design with cutting-edge motorized technology. When curating a space that demands both elegance and absolute comfort, finding the right modern motorized reclining chair can transform your home. This guide dives into the Stressless® Consul Classic Power Leg & Back by Ekornes. It is the definitive choice for those who adore the sleek, understated look of the original Consul model but want the effortless luxury of push-button control.
1. The Quintessential Minimalist Aesthetic
The Consul is arguably the most recognizable silhouette in the Stressless portfolio. It features clean, architectural lines, a firm but deeply supportive seat, and an unpretentious elegance that fits beautifully into both home offices and contemporary living rooms.
This specific model rests on the Classic Base, the iconic hourglass-shaped wooden ring that brings an organic, warm touch to the chair. Available in exquisite wood stains – ranging from a light Whitewash Oak to a deep, rich Wenge – this base ensures the chair retains its traditional charm while hiding the advanced technology within.
2. The Core Differentiator: Dual-Motor Independence
The “Power Leg & Back” upgrade completely reimagines the Consul experience. Instead of using your body weight to recline and resting your feet on a separate ottoman, this model integrates two whisper-quiet motors directly into the streamlined frame.
Using a discreet, elegantly designed control panel, you have total independent command over your positioning. You can unfold the hidden footrest to elevate your legs while keeping the back completely upright for reading or working on a laptop. Alternatively, you can recline the backrest fully for a nap while keeping the footrest tucked neatly away. The flexibility is entirely yours.
3. Key Comfort and Ergonomic Innovations
Even with a concealed footrest and internal motors, the Consul does not compromise on the legendary Ekornes ergonomic support:
- The Plus™ System: This patented internal framework is the secret to Stressless comfort. As you use the power controls to recline, the system automatically synchronizes to provide continuous, dynamic support to your lower back and neck, ensuring your spine is never left suspended.
- Space-Saving Integrated Footrest: The leg support extends outward and curls gracefully under the seat when not in use. This reclaims the floor space that a traditional freestanding ottoman would normally occupy, making it a brilliant solution for smaller rooms.
- Battery Pack Compatibility: Power chairs typically require a nearby wall outlet, but Ekornes offers an optional rechargeable lithium battery pack. This allows you to float the chair flawlessly in the center of your room without a power cable trailing across your rug.
4. Dimensions and Spatial Fit
The Consul is celebrated for its neat, compact footprint. It provides exceptional support without visually overpowering a room. The standard dimensions for the Medium model are:
- Width: 29.9 inches
- Depth (Upright): 29.1 inches
- Depth (Fully Reclined & Extended): Approximately 51.6 inches
- Overall Height: 39.4 inches
- Seat Height: 16.5 inches
Room Planning Note: Because of its streamlined profile and built-in footrest, the Consul Power Leg & Back is highly recommended for urban condos, tailored home libraries, and cozy bedroom reading nooks where maximizing space is a priority.
5. How the Consul Power Compares
To ensure you select the absolute best chair for your needs, consider how the Consul contrasts with other options:
- Compared to the Manual Consul: The traditional manual Consul utilizes a separate, freestanding ottoman and the friction-based Glide™ system. The Power Leg & Back version offers a cleaner floorplan by eliminating the ottoman and trades the physical shifting of weight for effortless, motorized adjustments.
- Compared to the Admiral Power Leg & Back: The Admiral is a much larger, visually heavier chair with plush, overstuffed padding and a height-adjustable headrest. The Consul offers a firmer sit and a significantly more tailored, minimalist look that takes up less visual and physical space in your home.
6. Uncompromising Build Quality and Warranty
Designed to provide decades of reliable comfort, your investment is backed by the comprehensive Ekornes warranty:
- 10 Years: Internal steel mechanism and structural framework.
- 5 Years: The Classic wood base, molded polyurethane foam, and all power motors and electronic components.
- 2 Years: Optional rechargeable battery pack.
- 1 Year: Premium leather or fabric upholstery.
7. Upgrade Your Everyday Comfort
The Stressless® Consul Classic Power Leg & Back is the ultimate fusion of a beloved, timeless design and modern mechanical convenience. It offers a firm, supportive embrace and the luxury of independent, motorized control, all wrapped in a beautifully compact silhouette.

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.
