    Which Flexsteel Sofa Is Right for Me?

    With so many great options, how do you choose the right Flexsteel sofa? Consider the following:

    Consider the Size of Your Space

    If you have a smaller living area, a stationary or compact reclining sofa like the Catalina Collection is a great choice, as it provides comfort without overwhelming the room. For those with larger spaces, a sectional from the Lennox or Carson collections offers ample seating and can be customized to fit your layout.

    Think About Your Lifestyle Needs

If you love to entertain, a stylish leather sofa from the Digby or Carson collections will add a sophisticated touch to your space while providing exceptional comfort for guests.

    Choose a Comfort Level That Suits You

    If you prefer firm support, the Flexsteel Digby or Lennox collections offer well-structured cushions that maintain their shape over time.
