I recently had the pleasure of spending some quality time in an absolutely great sofa from Ekornes, a Norwegian manufacturer that specializes in ergonomic seating. The Stressless line is a very high quality versatile grouping that offers high and low back recliners with articulating headrests and lumbar supports. With a simple push the seats recline without any levers or gadgets and glides into any position for a truly conforming fit. On the high back models the headrest smoothly curves forward allowing for a perfect television viewing or reading position. In the same motion the inner lumbar support changes position to allow for optimal lower back support. The Paradise model even has a height adjustable headrest to accommodate people of various sizes. A sleep mode can be engaged by simply pulling the headrest forward and laying the chair almost flat. The Ekornes Stressless line comes in sofas, love seats, and chairs and most sets are sold in a combination of high and low backs to fit the ideal needs of the consumer. Ekornes has been producing the line since 1972 with a very close attention to detail, and are always on the cutting edge of innovation. Find a dealer close to you and discover real comfort!

Yesterdays game rooms with rarely used pool tables are being replaced with a room the whole family can enjoy year round.
