Stressless® Mayfair Recliner with Signature Base and Footstool

Indulge in a lighter, floating sensation of daily physical recovery. When looking to enhance your home, selecting from a premium collection of contemporary lounge chairs is about matching luxurious cushioning with fluid movement. This in-depth guide details the Stressless® Mayfair Recliner with the Signature Base and Footstool by Ekornes. This configuration is highly regarded as the absolute sweet spot in the Norwegian lineup, combining the beloved, pillow-soft padding of the Mayfair with a modern, mixed-material rocking base.

1. Classic Cozy Elegance with a Lifted Profile

The Mayfair is the most iconic, best-selling design in the history of the Stressless brand. Its upper frame is defined by beautiful, classic contours, deeply padded cushioning, and soft, welcoming armrests. Unlike more structured, flatter models, the Mayfair offers a gentle, cloud-like cradle that instantly puts you at ease. It is a highly versatile style that fits beautifully into traditional, transitional, and modern interiors alike.

This classic, comforting seat is beautifully elevated by the stunning Signature Base. This base design combines a sweeping circular loop of laminated European wood with a curved metal framework made of polished chrome or matte black aluminum. The mixed materials allow the structured upper of the Mayfair to look visually light, airy, and perfectly at home in open-concept spaces.

2. The Core Differentiator: Weightless Rocking (BalanceAdapt™)

Operating entirely manually, the Mayfair Signature does not require electrical cords, buttons, or noisy motors. The base responds directly to your body weight using two integrated kinetic comfort systems:

  • BalanceAdapt™ System: Built into the core of the Signature Base, this kinetic mechanism allows the entire chair to rock gently. As you shift your weight, the seat and back angle tilt automatically to match your body’s center of gravity, delivering a soothing, weightless rocking motion.
  • The Glide™ System: Working in perfect harmony with the rocking mechanism, the Glide wheels respond effortlessly to your movement. Once you set the side tension wheels to match your weight, reclining is completely intuitive. Simply lean back to glide into a deep recline and sit forward to return to an upright position.

3. Key Comfort and Ergonomic Enhancements

The Mayfair Signature is designed with several patented orthopedic systems engineered to protect your spine and joints:

  • The Plus™ System: As you recline or rock, the internal steel framework adjusts automatically. It continuously increases lumbar support to cradle your lower spine, while keeping the head cushion slightly tilted forward so your line of sight remains optimal for watching TV or reading.
  • Responsive Footstool: The separate ottoman mirrors the beautiful wood-and-metal design of the Signature base. It features a built-in tilt mechanism that automatically adjusts to the resting angle of your legs, helping to relieve knee pressure and facilitate lower-body circulation.
  • 360-Degree Swivel: A hidden, silent swivel ring inside the base allows you to effortlessly rotate the entire chair to join in on conversations or take in a view.

4. Dimensions and Spatial Fit

The Mayfair provides a highly generous, comforting seat while maintaining a compact visual profile. The standard measurements for the Medium size are:

  • Width: 32.7 inches
  • Depth: 28.7 inches
  • Maximum Height: 40.2 inches
  • Seat Height: 17.3 inches

Styling Tip: The Signature Base’s blend of metal and wood is highly versatile. Choose a wood finish that matches your floorboards or shelving, and coordinate the metal frames with nearby lighting fixtures, drawer pulls, or table legs to tie the room together.

5. How the Mayfair Signature Compares

Understanding how the Mayfair Signature compares to alternative builds helps clarify your decision:

  • Compared to the Mayfair with Classic Base: The Classic Base features an all-wood, hourglass shape and is completely stationary. If you want a completely solid, stationary sit with no swaying, choose the Classic. If you prefer a soft, fluid, and soothing rocking motion, the Signature Base is the required upgrade.
  • Compared to the Consul or Reno Signature: The Consul is a firm, highly structured minimalist chair, and the Reno is incredibly soft and heavily overstuffed. The Mayfair sits right in the golden middle, offering a cozy, cloud-like cradle that remains beautifully tailored and structured over years of use.

6. Uncompromising Build Quality and Warranty

Meticulously hand-assembled in Norway to ensure lifetime durability, your investment is safeguarded by an elite warranty program:

  • 10 Years: Internal steel reclining mechanism and frame.
  • 10 Years: Molded cold-cured polyurethane foam (ensuring the cushions never lose their shape or support).
  • 5 Years: Wood and aluminum components of the Signature Base.
  • 1 Year: Premium leather or fabric upholstery.

7. Experience Fluid Comfort

The Stressless® Mayfair Recliner with the Signature Base is a magnificent achievement in Scandinavian kinetic design. By pairing a classic, cloud-like silhouette with a beautiful wood-and-metal rocking base, it delivers an active, refreshing seating experience that keeps your body feeling aligned and completely at ease.

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.
