Stressless recliners are known for their comfort and ease of reclining, but sometimes they can recline too easily and cause discomfort. Here are some tips to prevent your Stressless recliner from reclining too easily:
1. Adjust the tension knob: Most Stressless recliners have a tension knob that allows you to adjust the reclining resistance. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the resistance and make it harder to recline.
2. Use a footrest lock: Some Stressless recliners come with a footrest lock that keeps the footrest in place. Engage the lock when you don’t want the recliner to recline.
3. Place the recliner against a wall: Positioning the recliner against a wall can provide additional support and make it harder for the recliner to recline.
4. Add a cushion or pillow: Placing a cushion or pillow behind your back can provide extra support and reduce the reclining force.
By following these tips, you can enjoy the comfort of your Stressless recliner without it reclining too easily.
The Ekornes Stressless Glide System is a patented set of adjustments that allows you to customize the recliner to your specific height and weight. If you’ve ever had trouble keeping a recliner in the desired position, you’ll appreciate how easy it is to tighten the Stressless chair settings.

Step 1
Sit in the Ekornes Stressless chair and recline using your legs.
Step 2
While remaining seated, locate the Stressless recliner adjustment knob on the outer left side of the chair. Turn the knob slightly towards the back of the chair (clockwise).
Step 3
Locate the knob on the right side of the chair and turn it slightly towards the front of the chair (clockwise).
Step 4
Push the chair upright with your body and settle back into the reclining position. If the chair still reclines too easily, repeat Steps 2 and 3 until you achieve the desired tension.
FAQ
1. How can I prevent my stressless recliner from reclining too easily?
There are a few ways to keep your stressless recliner from reclining too easily. First, you can adjust the tension on the reclining mechanism by using the tension adjustment knob or lever. This will make it harder to recline and provide more resistance. Another option is to place a non-slip mat or rug gripper underneath the recliner to prevent it from sliding or reclining too easily on smooth surfaces. Additionally, you can use a recliner lock or stopper device, which can be attached to the reclining mechanism to prevent it from reclining beyond a certain point. These methods should help you maintain the desired level of reclining resistance.
2. Are there any specific models of stressless recliners that have adjustable reclining tension?
Yes, many stressless recliners come with adjustable reclining tension as a standard feature. These models usually have a tension adjustment knob or lever located on the reclining mechanism.

It is recommended to check the product specifications or consult with the retailer to ensure that the stressless recliner you are interested in has this feature.
3. Can I use any type of non-slip mat or rug gripper to prevent my stressless recliner from reclining too easily?

For example, if you have a carpeted floor, you can use a rug gripper specifically designed for carpets.
