Stressless Philip

Stressless® Philip Recliner Collection

The Stressless® Philip recliner is a contemporary Scandinavian design focused on tall-backed ergonomic support, refined detailing, and adaptable comfort. This collection is available in four configurations, allowing you to choose between base styles and the option of a matching footstool for a more complete relaxation setup.

Across all versions, Philip features a high winged back, sculpted cushioning, and Stressless® comfort engineering designed to support the neck, shoulders, and lower back during extended sitting.

Choose Your Stressless® Philip Configuration

The main differences in the Philip range come down to two choices:

• Whether you want a matching footstool
• Which base design you prefer

Philip Chair and Stool with Cross Base

This version includes a matching footstool and a classic Cross base.

• Traditional open-spoke Cross base design
• Includes coordinating footstool for full leg support
• Slightly more classic visual profile
• Ideal if you want a complete recliner setup for full-body relaxation

Best suited to users who prioritise comfort and want the flexibility of stretching out fully with a dedicated stool.

Philip Chair and Stool with Signature Base

This model also includes a matching footstool but features the Signature base.

• More contemporary, sculpted Signature base design
• Includes matching footstool
• Slightly more refined and modern appearance compared to Cross base
• Designed for more design-led interiors

This is the most premium-feeling option visually, combining full relaxation with a more architectural base style.

Philip Chair with Cross Base (No Stool)

A streamlined version of the recliner without a footstool.

• Classic Cross base for stability and recognisable Stressless styling
• No footstool included, making it more compact
• Works well in smaller spaces or secondary seating areas
• Maintains full reclining comfort without the extended footprint

A good choice if you prefer a lighter setup or already have alternative footrest options.

Philip Chair with Signature Base (No Stool)

The most minimalist and design-focused configuration in the range.

• Modern Signature base with a clean, sculpted look
• No footstool included
• Most visually refined option for contemporary interiors
• Ideal for users who want a standalone statement recliner

This version prioritises aesthetics and space efficiency while retaining full Stressless® ergonomic support.

Key Differences Across the Philip Range

With Stool vs Without Stool

• With stool: full leg support and a more traditional lounging experience
• Without stool: smaller footprint and more flexible placement

Cross Base vs Signature Base

• Cross base: classic Stressless design, more traditional and open in appearance
• Signature base: modern, architectural styling with a more sculptural presence

Both base types deliver the same Stressless® comfort technology, so the difference is purely visual and stylistic.

All Stressless Philip models include:

• Plus™ System for continuous neck and lumbar support
• Glide™ System for smooth reclining adjustment
• BalanceAdapt™ for natural body movement
• High backrest with winged support for shoulders and head
• Premium cushioning designed for long sitting comfort

Which Philip Recliner Should You Choose?

• Choose with stool if you want full relaxation and extended leg support
• Choose without stool if you prefer a compact footprint
• Choose Cross base if you like a more classic Stressless look
• Choose Signature base if you prefer a modern, design-led finish
