Stressless® Max Motorized Relaxer with Moon Steel Base

Step into the absolute peak of modern motorized comfort. When designing an upscale media room, a sleek study, or a luxury bedroom corner, selecting a piece from a curated range of luxury motorized recliners is about matching supportive, cozy cushioning with an elegant architectural look. This comprehensive review highlights the Stressless® Max Motorized Relaxer featuring the striking Moon Steel Base by Ekornes. Outfitted with plush, layered cushioning and driven by a quiet, synchronized multi-motor setup, the Max delivers a weightless, premium seating experience.

1. Contemporary Pod Design Meets Industrial Shine

The Max is highly celebrated for its clean, fully upholstered pod-style shape. It features deeply padded pillow-top layers on the backrest, pillowed armrests, and a highly welcoming, supportive sit. This plush build offers immediate, muscle-melting relief while maintaining a sleek, tailored profile that is perfect for contemporary or transitional interiors.

This luxuriously padded chair rests on the beautiful Moon Steel Base. Crafted as a sleek, circular disc from premium brushed steel, the Moon steel base adds a bold, ultra-modern touch to the silhouette. This rotating metallic disc grounds the modern pod design with a bright, clean Scandinavian finish that pairs beautifully with minimalist decors, metallic fixtures, and cool-toned color schemes.

2. The Core Differentiator: Multi-Motor Synchronized Power

Built on the advanced Ekornes Relaxer platform, the Max features a silent, highly integrated multi-motor power system that completely replaces the traditional separate manual ottoman:

• One-Touch Synced Movement: Located under the armrest, the sleek, touch-sensitive panel gives you total control. With one press, the footrest extends, the seat tilts, and the backrest reclines in a perfectly synchronized movement.
• Independent Calibration: In addition to the synchronized master buttons, you can adjust the headrest, lumbar support, and footrest independently to fine-tune your seating angle to your exact comfort preference.
• Home Button: When you are ready to stand up, simply touch the master home button to return the backrest, headrest, and footrest to their closed, upright positions simultaneously.

3. Key Comfort and Ergonomic Enhancements

The Max is engineered with several specialized systems to protect your back, neck, and joints:

• Built-In Lumbar & Neck Support: As you recline, the internal steel framework automatically increases lower back support to keep your lumbar spine aligned, while gently tilting the headrest forward so you can watch television or read without neck strain.
• Soothing Rocking Motion: When the footrest is fully retracted, the Max acts as a gentle, comforting rocker to help you unwind. The moment you begin extending the motorized footrest, the rocking function locks automatically for safety and stability.
• Optional Therapy Upgrade: To experience the ultimate in home pampering, you can customize your Max with built-in heating elements and a relaxing wave-motion air massage system inside the backrest.
• 360-Degree Swivel: The circular Moon base conceals a whisper-quiet swivel ring, allowing you to rotate the entire chair effortlessly.

4. Dimensions and Spatial Fit

The Max is a roomy, substantial lounge chair that offers incredible backrest height while maintaining a neat, tailored width. The standard measurements for the Medium size are:

• Width: 35.4 inches
• Depth (Upright): 36.2 inches
• Depth (Fully Reclined): Approximately 67.5 inches
• Overall Height: 43.3 inches
• Seat Height: 18.1 inches

Placement Tip: To keep your living area free of messy cables, the Max is fully compatible with an optional rechargeable lithium battery pack. This allows you to place the chair in the middle of your room without needing to plug it directly into a wall outlet.

5. How the Max Compares

To ensure this model is the perfect fit for your lifestyle, consider how the Max compares to alternative Ekornes builds:

• Compared to the Max with Moon Wood Base: Both setups utilize the same gorgeous, plush upper pod. The choice comes down to style; the Wood Moon Base adds organic timber warmth, while the Steel Moon Base offers a clean, futuristic, and high-end industrial look.
• Compared to the Stressless Mike Recliner: Both chairs are built on the same synchronized motorized platform. The difference is purely aesthetic. The Mike features clean, flat-panel leather cushioning with a minimalist feel, while the Max offers layered pillow-top padding for a softer, more enveloping cradle.

6. Premium Build Quality and Warranty

Hand-assembled in Norway to meet the highest environmental standards, your chair is built to last a lifetime and is backed by an elite warranty:

• 10 Years: Internal steel mechanism and structural framework.
• 5 Years: Moon steel base, molded foam cushioning, and all motors or electronics.
• 2 Years: Optional rechargeable battery pack.
• 1 Year: Premium leather or fabric upholstery.

7. Experience Ultimate Comfort

The Stressless® Max Motorized Relaxer with the Moon Steel Base is a triumph of Scandinavian comfort engineering. By pairing a deeply cushioned, cloud-like seat with silent, synchronized motorized action and a polished metal disc base, it delivers a restorative seating experience that keeps your body completely at ease.
