    Background of Flexsteel Recliners

    Flexsteel Industries, Inc., established in 1893 in Dubuque, Iowa, crafts enduring, aesthetically pleasing, and comfortable furniture for American families. Their range of products is mostly for seating; they are famous for sofas, chairs, sectionals, and recliners, although they also make tables.

    The key to Flexsteel furniture's quality is the advanced technology and premium upholstery in its chairs. The fabrics and leather are top-notch, while the company boasts Blue Steel Spring technology, which makes Flexsteel furniture durable.

    You might assume Flexsteel prices are through the roof, but their furniture comes at various price ranges, accommodating different budgets and needs. Flexsteel also offers different limited warranties for their furniture items, so check the warranties when you buy a Flexsteel product from a retailer.

    Flexsteel's Blue Steel Spring Technology

    Flexsteel products often mention Blue Steel Spring™ technology. The original form was a Swiss invention meant for European train seats used to keep the seats from fraying. Flexsteel decided to perfect the design, use it in their American-made furniture, and patented the spring system to bring unmatched comfort and durability.

    The name Blue Steel comes from the paint used to color the springs. Flexsteel's exclusive spring systems are also powder-coated for extra protection. If you turn over a Flexsteel sofa, you can immediately see the iconic blue ribbon of steel. The visible placement is deliberate—Flexsteel wants you to see it as proof of authenticity.

    Flexsteel seats use three springs: C-Flex, Blue Ribbon, and DualFlex. Each has its functions and benefits, but unlike other springs, Flexsteel's Blue Steel Spring requires no retying and lasts a lifetime.

    Flexsteel Zecliner Model II

    Model #: (1092-55P5 358-80)

    Flexsteel Zecliner Model II Shell Power Lift Recliner with Power Headrest/Lumbar and Heat/Massage

    Shop Flexsteel Zecliner Model II Lift Recliner

    The Zecliner Model 2 is the latest in Flexsteel recliners that have entered the market as powerful recliners. It's a reclining seat that can be a family chair during the day and a resting place at night. Memory foams in the backrest, seat, and shoulders ensure that your body remains aligned as you lie down. A removable Technogel head pillow supports the head perfectly.

    This Zecliner model is highly recommended because of its customization feature. You can adjust the settings on your headrest, lumbar support, recline, and lift assistance to find the best comfort possible. Its Zero Gravity recline feature gives you a weightless sensation, reducing the pressure on your body.

    And just like your mattress, this Flexsteel Zecliner is built to last with the Flexsteel DualFlex Spring System. These are steel ribbons attached to flexible coils, resulting in durability and a broad range of motion.

    Furthermore, this Zecliner has a wellness fabric called Nanobionic, which carries infrared-emitting minerals that boost your energy. Then, the heat and air massage functions in the seat and backrest further relax your entire body.

    All of it is adjustable through the smart wand hand control, which has two memory programs: sleeping and watching TV. You can reprogram it to your preferred position. Even better, you can access the controls through your phone with the MyRecline app.

    Comparing Flexsteel with Other Brands

    Other brands of recliners are available in the market. La-Z-Boy (Lazyboy for short) and England recliners are the most common. Do Flexsteel recliners come out on top?

    Both Flexsteel and Lazyboy are known for their craftsmanship. Lazy Boy, the original manufacturer of chairs with reclining mechanisms, is a household name for recliners. Meanwhile, Flexsteel is known for recliners and various seating options. Both brands offer the same comfort in their designs, so if you're looking for convenience, either brand works.

    Flexsteel, however, offers a broader range of products and prices. With prices between $699 and $3,299, Flexsteel offers more high-end products. Meanwhile, La-Z-Boy Prices are usually capped at $2,999. Flexsteel purchases often depend on third-party retailers, who may have their policies regarding deliveries, returns, and warranties. Conversely, La-Z-Boy routinely sells directly to customers but with stricter policies.

    England, despite its name, is another proud American brand. Its wood frames, components, foam, and fibers are domestically produced. The brand uses hand-tied eight-way spring coils for the cushions with premium padding. Meanwhile, Flexsteel uses materials sourced both from the US and other countries. Still, both companies have rigorous quality checks during production.

    But Flexsteel recliners have a bit more edge compared to England. Flexsteel offers more reclining mechanisms with seemingly infinite positions and more fabric and leather options. Flexsteel's foam also goes through a custom-cut process to fit better. However, price-wise, Flexsteel's cost may be higher than England's because the brand also serves an ultra-high-end market.

    Why Trust Urner's and Urner's Mattress?

    Urner’s started on the back of a bicycle - yup! A bicycle! David E. Urner, a local high school teacher, who spent his summer months selling Wear Ever cookware off the back of a bicycle (think 100+ degrees). David teamed up with another local teacher, Errol P. Janes to create “a new type of store – one that would cater exclusively to providing an easier way of living for the women of Kern County”, and on September 19, 1919, Home Appliance Store was opened to the public. The store boasted a rather impressive selection of “modern” appliances, including a washing machine, a freezer, a gas range, an automatic dishwasher, and an assortment of small appliances. Since then, Urner’s has expanded selections to appliances, furniture, mattresses and cabinetry!

    For nearly one century, the Urner family and Urner’s business have both been an integral part of Bakersfield and Kern County, with contributions to community (Better Business Bureau, Sister City Projects, Bakersfield Symphony), charity (Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude’s Dream Home, House of Hope) and education (CSU Bakersfield, Ray Dezember Leadership Development Center.
