\"flexsteelWhen you\u2019re shopping for furniture, it\u2019s important to buy from a brand you can trust. Furniture combines moving parts, touchable surfaces, and the expectation of many years of use. So, high quality is a must!<\/span><\/p>\n

One brand that Americans have trusted for over 100 years is Flexsteel. They\u2019re known for high-quality, attractive furniture that\u2019s made to last. The company\u2019s sofas, chairs, and other pieces look and feel great and are American-built to last for decades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a great brand for your next furniture purchase, here are a few reasons to consider <\/span>Flexsteel furniture<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Flexsteel Has a Rich History of American Craftsmanship<\/span><\/h2>\n

Flexsteel\u2019s roots<\/span> go all the way back to 1893, when the Rolph & Boll Furniture Company started out making upholstered furniture in Minnesota. In 1901, that company was sold to four tradesmen who developed the company that would later be rebranded as Flexsteel.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the 1920s, Flexsteel began using a Blue Steel Spring system (described below) in all of the company\u2019s upholstered furniture. Over time, this method has been refined but remains essential to the strength, comfort, and durability of Flexsteel products. The innovation of Blue Steel Spring led to the implementation of an assembly line, a fleet of trucks, and the renaming of the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the company grew, Flexsteel continued making their products by hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Flexsteel describes their commitment to hand-crafting like this:<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cOur difference is in the details. Using perfected processes, patented technology, and the best sourced materials, every piece of Flexsteel furniture is hand-crafted because we believe that lasting beauty and comfort improves everyday lifestyles.\u201d – <\/span><\/i>Flexsteel<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Today, Flexsteel is an Iowa-based, publicly traded company that makes furniture for every room in the home. The company sells its products exclusively through authorized retailers such as Mark Thomas Home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Flexsteel Furniture Offers the Blue Steel Spring\u2122 Advantage<\/span><\/h2>\n

Flexsteel makes everything from beds to dining room tables to outdoor furniture. However, they\u2019re particularly renowned for their upholstered seating. Their sofas and chairs use Blue Steel Spring technology\u2014the spring system that the company is named after.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blue Steel Spring<\/span><\/a> is Flexsteel\u2019s patented spring system. This is a layer of steel arches and springs that rests under the padding of a piece of furniture. The design provides an ideal combination of comfort, support, and durability. The springs never require replacing or retying and Flexsteel guarantees their durability for as long as the product is in use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Flexsteel Uses Materials that Are Safe and Built to Last<\/span><\/h2>\n

Flexsteel builds their springs with cold forming. This production method involves rolling thin sheets of steel into their desired shape at room temperature. Compared to heat-formed steel, <\/span>cold-formed steel<\/span><\/a> is stronger and more lightweight\u2014ideal for furniture. Flexsteel manufactures 100% of their steel arches and springs in the company\u2019s home base factory in Iowa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Flexsteel also uses an impressive variety and quality of materials for upholstery, i.e. the padding and cloth that covers a piece of furniture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For <\/span>leather furniture<\/span><\/a>, Flexsteel uses semi-aniline and pigmented leather. These materials feature natural patina markings and enhanced stain and fade resistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Flexsteel also partners with leading fabric brands like Revolution, Kashmira, and Sustain. All of Flexsteel\u2019s fabric exteriors are designed for a combination of durability, comfort, and style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Health concerns is one more consideration you shouldn\u2019t overlook when buying a piece of furniture. You\u2019ll spend a lot of time touching your couch or chair, so it mustn\u2019t be made with any harmful chemicals. At Flexsteel, all products are made without formaldehyde, fire-retardant chemicals, or lead finishes. All Flexsteel furniture complies with <\/span>California Air Resource Board (CARB) standards<\/span><\/a> for chemicals and air quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
