Stressless® Mike Motorized Recliner

Step into the future of physical recovery with a design that completely redefines the modern lounge chair. When curating a high-end interior, finding a piece among luxury motorized recliners is about matching sleek, minimalist aesthetics with ultimate orthopedic engineering. This comprehensive guide covers the Stressless® Mike Motorized Relaxer by Ekornes, a revolutionary, fully synchronized power recliner designed for those who appreciate clean Scandinavian architecture, a soft hugging sit, and effortless push-button control.

1. A Masterclass in Modern Pod Design

Unlike classic Stressless models that feature open timber pedestals or sprawling metal stars, the Mike utilizes a fully upholstered, continuous “pod” silhouette. It features a beautifully rounded backrest, elegantly curved slim armrests, and a sleek, circular disc base available in polished steel, matte black, or laminated wood. The result is a highly sophisticated look that floats beautifully in minimalist, ultra-modern, or high-end transitional spaces.

2. The Core Differentiator: Synchronized Master Power

The Mike stands out because it is built on the advanced Ekornes “Relaxer” platform. While other power recliners use multiple buttons to adjust separate panels, the Mike simplifies automation with a touch of a button:

• One-Touch Synced Movement: Under the right armrest, you will find a sleek control panel. With a single touch, the integrated footrest unfolds, the seat tilts, and the backrest reclines in a perfectly synchronized flow designed to maximize body support at every angle.
• Master Button Feature: You can adjust the back, lumbar, and headrest individually if you wish, but the master button allows you to return the chair to a fully closed, upright position with one simple touch.

3. Key Comfort and Ergonomic Enhancements

The Mike protects your spine and joints with several of the most advanced built-in comfort mechanisms in the industry:

• Built-In Lumbar and 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 to prevent neck strain.
• Soothing Rocking Function: When the footrest is fully closed, the Mike acts as a gentle, comforting rocker, easing tension and helping you unwind. As soon as you extend the footrest, the rocking mechanism locks automatically for safety and stability.
• Optional Therapy Upgrade: For the ultimate in home relaxation, the Mike can be ordered with built-in heating and a light, relaxing air massage system inside the backrest.
• Discreet Swivel: The circular disc base houses a quiet swivel ring, allowing you to rotate the chair smoothly to join conversations or take in views.

4. Dimensions and Spatial Fit

The Mike is engineered to offer exceptional headrest height while keeping its overall width highly tailored and compact. 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: Because the footrest folds completely under the seat when closed, the Mike has a incredibly clean footprint. It is compatible with an optional rechargeable battery pack, allowing you to place it anywhere in the room without running power cords across the floor.

5. How the Mike Compares

To ensure the Mike is the correct match for your lifestyle, consider how it compares to alternative Ekornes builds:

• Compared to Mayfair or Wing Classic Power: The Mayfair and Wing power models retain the traditional open-base look with an hour-glass wood ring. The Mike is a fully enclosed pod design, offering a much more streamlined, modern aesthetic and a soothing rocking motion when closed.
• Compared to the Stressless Max Recliner: The Max is the Mike’s sibling, sharing the same motorized platform and synchronized movement. The primary difference is aesthetic; the Max features plush, pillow-top padding on the backrest and armrests, while the Mike features clean, flat paneling and modern, slim contours.

6. Premium Build Quality and Warranty

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

• 10 Years: Internal steel mechanism and structural framework.
• 5 Years: Molded cold-cured polyurethane foam, power motors, and internal electronics.
• 2 Years: Optional rechargeable battery pack.
• 1 Year: Premium leather or fabric upholstery.

7. Elevate Your Home Living Space

The Stressless® Mike Motorized Relaxer represents a magnificent achievement in modern Scandinavian design. By pairing a sleek, pod-style silhouette with quiet, synchronized motorized comfort, it delivers an active, refreshing seating experience that keeps your body feeling aligned and completely at ease.
