The Flexsteel Blue Steel Spring Never Needs Replacing.
We expect a lot from our sofas. They cradle us after long days of work, but they’re also trampolines for rambunctious kiddos. Dogs and cats, in varying stages of cleanliness, nestle into the cushions when we aren’t looking. But when the neighbors come over for game night, it’s show time. We want our sofas to impress.
Sounds like a tall order, right? It doesn’t have to be. You and your active family deserve a sofa that meets your often competing needs for comfort, durability, cleanliness, and style. That’s why we’ve created these helpful tips for choosing a sofa that checks all of the boxes.
Always Pop the Hood
Just like you would lift a car’s hood to check out the engine, don’t shy away from checking out what’s beneath the cushions of a sofa you’re interested in. Better yet, do a little research ahead of time to see what sort of internal support mechanisms a sofa has (and how long they are under warranty). Most companies will hide springs or foam beneath a dust cover. Not Flexsteel. We’re so proud of our patented Blue Steel Springs that we leave them in plain sight, so you can see how the all-riveted, high-carbon, steel banded system gives our sofas lasting strength and comfort. In fact, these springs are so strong, you’ll never need to replace them. All thanks to E.W. Schlappritizi, who, in 1910, invented the spring while studying the laws of flexibility at the University of Zurich. Over one hundred years later, his spring design is still helping families sit more comfortably on furniture they love.
Demand Quality
We don’t have to tell you quality and durability are musts. We’re sure you’re reminded every time one of your kids plops down on a piece of furniture. So, when you invest in a good piece of furniture, you should have the confidence that it will last—and look good for years to come. Before you buy any sofa, make sure you find out how long the warranty lasts and exactly what it covers. At Flexsteel, for example, we promise to build quality furniture for the way you live today and every day after. And we can keep that promise because we have over one hundred years of manufacturing experience. We pair our patented Blue Steel Spring technology with high-density hardwood to give our sofas a nearly indestructible foundation that will last.
Balance Comfort & Support
When it comes to furniture, performance is all about balancing comfort and support. Some couches are cushy, but will they start sagging after a year? And we know you’ve sat on a couch that’s so rigid you feel like you’re sitting in the bleachers at a ball game. That perfect balance of softness and support is hard to come by. But with the strength and resilience of the Blue Steel Spring, Flexsteel couches achieve a “just right” balance. You’ll know it when you sit in our furniture. It just feels good.
Find the Best Fit for Your Lifestyle
As you search for the perfect sofa, take an honest look at how you’ll use your sofa. Will it be a centerpiece for elegant gatherings, locked away in a pristine room reserved only for guests? If you’re vigorously shaking your head no, you aren’t alone. For most of us, the precious square footage in our homes has to be as hardworking as we are. We want our furniture to be modern and refined, so we can feel good about it, but also functional and comfy, so Dad’s happy when it’s time for his afternoon snooze. That’s why we’ve built the Flexsteel collection of sofas to suit all the beautiful contrasts that make up your life. We offer an extensive selection of performance fabrics so that no matter your lifestyle, you can always be certain that your sofa will stand the test of time. It’s furniture you’ll feel proud to own but won’t be afraid to use.
You Deserve to Have It All
Most of the time, when you’re thinking about updating your living room furniture, you’ve got more than a new sofa on your mind. Lounge chairs. Loveseats. You need it all, and you want everything you purchase to meet the same expectations for quality, durability, comfort, and style. The great news is that Flexsteel offers collections of complementary lounge seating, all with our patented Blue Steel Spring technology. We make four varieties of the Blue Steel Spring, right here in the USA. Each variety places extra support where it’s needed most for the specific sofa or chair in which it lives.
