Stressless® Max Motorized Relaxer with Moon Wood Base

Step into the next generation of modern motorized relaxation. When designing a home media room, a cozy bedroom corner, or an upscale den, finding a piece among our premium luxury motorized recliners is about matching wrap-around physical support with a gorgeous, high-end visual footprint. This comprehensive review highlights the Stressless® Max Motorized Relaxer featuring the stunning Moon Wood Base by Ekornes. Designed with plush, layered cushioning and powered by a highly synchronized multi-motor mechanism, the Max delivers an exceptional, cloud-like experience.

1. Luxurious Pod Design Meets the Elegant Moon Base

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

This luxuriously padded chair rests on the beautiful Moon Wood Base. Crafted as a sleek, circular disc from premium laminated European beech wood, the Moon base adds a warm, organic touch to the modern silhouette. Available in a variety of rich timber stains, this rotating wooden disc grounds the modern pod design with classic Scandinavian warmth.

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 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.
• Compared to the Mayfair Classic Power: The Mayfair Power maintains the traditional open wood pedestal base. The Max is a fully enclosed pod design, offering a more modern look, motorized lumbar/neck adjustment, and a soothing rocking motion when closed.

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: Laminated Moon wood base, molded foam cushioning, and all motors/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 Wood Base is a triumph of Scandinavian comfort engineering. By pairing a deeply cushioned, cloud-like seat with silent, synchronized motorized action and a beautiful wooden disc base, it delivers a restorative seating experience that keeps your body completely at ease.
