    Why Flexsteel Beds Begin with Unmatched Craftsmanship

    Flexsteel has been a trusted name in American furniture since 1893 with a reputation for comfort, style, and resilience. The brand boasts over a century of experience, crafting built-to-last and beautiful furniture, thanks to its commitment to time-tested techniques and innovative features.

    The brand relies on its signature Blue Steel Spring technology, which was originally developed for seating and still used today.

    This no-sag spring system is a symbol of the company's promise of dependable support without wearing out over time. It's a philosophy that carries over into Flexsteel bedroom furniture, prioritizing strength, structure, and lasting comfort.

    Flexsteel's U.S.-based roots are also central to its identity, with many designs made or assembled domestically with quality control processes that reflect integrity and fine craftsmanship. To ensure that Flexsteel bedroom sets feel just as solid and stylish years down the line, every detail is carefully considered—from the choice of materials to the way joints are constructed.

    Flexsteel beds often outshine their competitors due to their standout features. Here are some features that make them unique:

    • Blue Steel Spring support: This signature spring system is built to last and resists sagging in the long run, delivering strong, consistent support.

    • Quality hardwood frames: Flexsteel beds are constructed using durable hardwoods that enhance strength and stability, ensuring long-term use without wobbling or wear.

    • Upholstery choices: Many bed styles feature upholstered headboards with your choice of fabric or leather, allowing you to tailor the texture and look to your space.

    • Customizable finishes and designs: Choose from various wood stains, materials, and silhouettes—from classic to contemporary—to match your bedroom’s personality.

    In short, Flexsteel has it all: comfort, longevity, and design flexibility to offer you a comforting yet stylish bed that lasts.

    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.
