The Stressless Urban collection features nine recliners with clean, contemporary lines, ranging in price from €3,229 to €4,259. Please note the sizing: the Berlin, London, Tokyo, and Adam models are available only in size M. In the video above, our consultant walks you through them in the store.

Which models are included in the Urban collection?

Nine: Berlin, London, Tokyo, View, Erik, Adam, Paul, Philip, and the Magic. Cleaner, more contemporary lines than the Classic collection, with prices ranging from €3,229 to €4,259. The electric Adam is also part of this group.

Please note the dimensions

This is the main practical difference from the Classic collection: not every Urban model is available in all sizes. The Berlin, London, Tokyo, and Adam are only available in size M. Paul and Philip come in sizes M and L, and only the View, Erik, and Magic are available in sizes S, M, and L.

If you’re significantly shorter or taller than average, that immediately limits your choices within this collection. If you’re looking for a larger size, the Paul and the Philip are the models to choose. We’ll work with you to find the right size during a test fit—your feet should touch the floor, and there should be some space behind your knees.

Which model should you choose for what purpose?

  • Stressless® Berlin — The best armrests in the collection — higher than on the other models.
  • Stressless® London — Sleek design thanks to the upholstery.
  • Stressless® Tokyo — Modern design with adjustable lower-back support.
  • Stressless® View — Reclines very far back, with adjustable lumbar support.
  • Stressless® Erik — A modern look with firmer seating comfort.
  • Stressless® Adam — Electrically adjustable, with a unique zero-gravity feature.
  • Stressless® Paul — Firmer seating comfort in a large size.
  • Stressless® Philip — Firmer seating comfort in a large size.
  • Stressless® Magic — Super-soft cushions; the most comfortable in the collection.

One fair point to note about the View: it reclines very far back. That makes it excellent for really relaxing or taking a nap, but less suitable if you mainly want to watch TV in it for long periods. You only notice things like that once you’re sitting in it.

Electric: the Stressless® Adam

The Adam is the electric model in the collection. It has three built-in motors that you can control individually using a sleek remote control that attaches magnetically to the armrest. One press of the Home button returns you to the upright position. It is available with optional built-in heating and massage features; a battery-powered version is also available without those options.

The Power™ electrical components come with a 5-year warranty, and the Power™ battery comes with a 2-year warranty. The Adam is always on display in our showroom. You can find the complete selection and prices on the recliner page.
