The Stressless Mary Power Sofa is a premium three-seat power-reclining leather sofa from Stressless (Ekornes) for shoppers who want lounge-chair adjustability in a full sofa. In our test configuration, it measured about 104 inches wide and cost around $10,895, placing it firmly in the luxury tier. Our testing found that comfort and support are the clearest strengths, while the size, power setup, and price make it a harder fit for smaller rooms or tighter budgets.

Product Overview at a Glance
| Sofa | Overall Score | Pros | Cons | Ideal For |
| Stressless Mary Power Sofa | 4.1 / 5.0 | Easy power recline; supportive sit; premium materials; strong warranty | Expensive; needs clearance; leather can feel warm | TV-first living rooms, back-support-conscious loungers, couples with different recline preferences |
Final Verdict
In real use, the Mary Power Sofa feels like a personal recliner experience scaled up to sofa size. It was easy to move from upright laptop time to a more relaxed TV position without piling on pillows or constantly readjusting. The downside is just as clear: it needs real clearance when extended, and the price is unapologetically high.
Who It’s For
- Shoppers who want power recline in a more polished, high-end sofa silhouette
- People who sit for long stretches and want steady back support
- Couples who do not share the same preferred recline angle
Who It’s Not For
- Small rooms with tight walkways or limited recline clearance
- Shoppers focused more on budget value than premium finish
- Anyone who finds leather too warm during longer sits
How We Tested It
We used the sofa through normal daily routines—working from the seat, streaming on weeknights, watching sports on weekends, and winding down late at night—as part of our sofa testing process. In our testing, Assembly focused on setup difficulty and cable management. Cooling looked at heat buildup during longer sits. Comfort measured how well the sofa supported upright, semi-reclined, and fully reclined positions. Durability covered frame stability, mechanism consistency, and cushion recovery. Layout Practicality looked at footprint, extension clearance, and room flow. Cleaning and Value reflected upkeep, visible wear, and what the feature set gives you for the money.
Our Testing Experience
What stood out in hands-on use was how quickly the sofa found a supported position. We could start upright with a laptop, ease into a laid-back angle for TV, and still feel supported instead of slouched. Marcus pushed longer gaming sessions, while Jenna and Ethan used it as a shared lounging seat to see how well it handled different body positions and repeated sit-downs. The seat feels plush on first contact, but it never turned loose or overly mushy.
What we liked
- Power recline made small posture changes easy
- Comfort held up well through longer sits
- The sofa felt stable and substantial
Who it is best for
- TV-first households and longer evening loungers
- People who want support without an overly firm seat
- Couples who like different recline positions
Where it falls short
- It needs more room once fully extended
- Leather can hold warmth over longer sessions
- The price makes less sense if you rarely recline

How to Choose the Stressless Mary Power Sofa?
Start with room math: at roughly 104 inches wide and about 68 inches deep when fully extended, this is not a casual fit. If you regularly move between upright work, relaxed viewing, and full recline, the power adjustment earns its keep. If you rarely recline, the premium is harder to justify. Leather is easy to wipe down, but it can feel warmer on longer sits. For a more mainstream option with power recline and headrest adjustment, the La-Z-Boy Trouper is worth a look. If you want a more wall-friendly recline concept, Himolla’s CUMULY COMFORT 4718 is the closer comparison.
Limitations
This sofa makes the most sense if you will use the recline and posture adjustment often. Otherwise, the price is hard to defend. The extended depth also demands more open floor space, so it can feel oversized in narrower rooms or busier family layouts. Leather keeps cleanup simple, but it can trap more warmth on long sits and will show wear patterns with time.
Stressless Mary Power Sofa Vs. Alternatives
Why choose these models
- You want a premium sofa built around individual posture control and longer-session comfort
- You value stronger coverage on mechanisms and power parts
- You have the space to live with the extended footprint
Alternatives to consider
- La-Z-Boy Trouper Power Reclining Sofa w/ Headrest: broader availability; power recline with headrest adjustment
- Himolla CUMULY COMFORT 4718: wall-friendly reclining concept; available with electric adjustment
- American Leather Comfort Relax reclining sofas: motion-focused line with multiple reclining-sofa styles
Pro Tips for Stressless Mary Power Sofa
- Measure recline clearance, not just width, so the fully extended depth does not block real walk paths.
- Plan the power route early so cords or charging needs do not become an afterthought.
- If you run warm, keep a breathable throw nearby for longer movie or game nights.
- Use gentle wipe-down cleaning and keep leather out of strong direct sun when possible.
- If you are matching this sofa with other wood pieces, compare tones under evening lighting, not just daylight.
- Keep a side table close for remotes and charging so you do not end up perched on the front edge.
- If pets jump up often, cover the highest-contact seat zones to reduce marks and surface sheen.
- After delivery, re-check room flow in person; a 104-inch sofa feels different in a real walkway than it does on a floor plan.
FAQs
Does the sofa feel too deep for everyday sitting?
For most average-height adults, the seat depth feels relaxed but still usable for everyday sitting. In our testing, it did not feel overly slouched or hard to get out of.
How much space do I need for reclining?
Plan around the extended depth. Once fully reclined, it reaches roughly 68 inches front to back, so tighter rooms can lose usable walkway space quickly.
Is leather easy to maintain on this sofa?
Day to day, yes. Quick wipe-downs handle most routine messes, but consistent care and smart placement away from harsh sun matter.
What should I expect from the warranty coverage?
Coverage is strongest on the internal mechanism and construction, with additional warranty tiers for foam, power components, batteries, and upholstery.
