The free-standing footstool is a perfect example of the fundamental Stressless concept of movement and relaxation and our endless pursuit of comfort. When you lie back in your recliner, your legs move slightly forward which means your feet are lowered – not by much, but enough to make a difference you can really feel. To match that slight movement, the new Stressless stool has a built-in glide function which automatically lowers your feet. The effect is amazing. In fact, the new Stressless stool makes the world's most comfortable recliner even more comfortable.
