Just replaced my Ekornes Stressless chair with another one. After 15 years the leather started to finally get worn looking. They still make the exact same chair (higher price of course)! I had been through 3 other brands, some pretty expensive before it and the biggest difference is my back doesn't hurt after getting out of it after long periods, can even sleep there. I think it is recommended by some chorpractic association. It is very comfortable, but not like a recliner where the footrest comes up, vibrates or holds a refrigerator like Costanza's on Seinfeld. Not really cushy of pillowy at all if that's what you are looking for.
Bad news - very expensive and made in Sweden, so if you don't get a standard color that is in stock in the US, it has to be custom ordered. Mine took 23 weeks to get here because my wife couldn't live with a stock color. This one may outlive me....BTW the old one is still perfectly good and my son will take it when he moves back in driving distance. He loves it more than me.
