Most Stressless recliners feel right the moment you sit down. This one felt right before I even reached the seat. The trademark glide system moves under your weight with no resistance, no clicking, no persuading. Tilt back and the chair follows you. Shift forward and it follows again. Engineering like that does not happen by accident, and it certainly does not happen cheaply. I'm Simon, and I spend enough time hunting down furniture for DecorDeluxe.club in Houghton-le-Spring to know when a mechanism is built to last and when it is not. This one proved itself before it left the room.
This is the Consul, size medium, from Ekornes. The Stressless range is Norwegian engineering built around one idea: your body should not have to work when it is meant to be resting. The curved wooden base, finished in dark wood stain, gives the chair its signature silhouette. The matching footstool shares the same base and follows the same logic. Everything tilts, everything responds, and nothing fights you. Sit for twenty minutes and the difference is obvious. Sit for an evening and you will wonder why every chair is not built this way.
The upholstery is brown leather with a smooth, slightly glossy finish. Not showy, not matte. Just proper leather that improves with use rather than wearing out. The side knobs adjust the recline tension, so you set the resistance to suit you, and the black metal framework carries the weight without flexing or creaking. The padded armrests support without crowding, and the whole thing looks clean and certain from every angle. That is Scandinavian design doing what it does best: no decoration, just clarity.
Ekornes launched Stressless in the 1970s and the glide system is still the same now. You do not update what already works. The Consul is the mid-range model in the lineup, which means it balances size, support and elegance without going oversized or undersized. The base curves low and the proportions stay human, so it fits rooms that would choke on a bigger piece. And because it is medium, it suits most people without needing custom sizing. That alone is worth noting.
The colour is straightforward: brown leather, brown base. No contrast stitching, no accent panels. It reads warm without shouting, and it will sit quietly in a room full of other furniture without demanding to be the centre. Which is rather the point of good design. It works, it lasts, and it does not age out of fashion because it was never chasing fashion in the first place.
This pair sold new for £1,969. My PreLoved price is £395. That is a saving of £1,574, which is 80% off a recliner and footstool built to last. The condition is PreLoved and looking fabulous, in genuinely great condition. No splits, no sagging, no fading that matters. The leather has been sat in and it shows the character that comes with use, but every working part works exactly as intended. The glide moves, the knobs adjust, the footstool tilts. It is furniture that has lived a little, and it is all the better for it.
