If you're in the market for a new sofa or recliner (or both), I'm guessing you've been on quite the furniture journey—researching, comparing, reading reviews, and probably even testing out a few sofas in-store. After all that, you've landed on Flexsteel, knowing it’s a brand that checks many of the right boxes: comfort, durability, and style.
But just when you think the hard part is over, you realize you still have one more decision to make—do you go with Henry, Lindon, Sawyer, or Crew?
And no, before you get ready to hand out roses, these aren’t names of love interests in the latest season of The Bachelorette or Love is Blind (or, if we're being honest, a Jane Austen novel). They're the names of Flexsteel's most popular furniture lines.
You, trying to choose between reclining furniture.
Cue your disappointment here.
It may be heartening, though, to know that the Furniture Mall has been in the business of matchmaking—er, furniture selling—since 1933, and we've helped many distraught bachelorettes (and eligible bachelors) tie the knot with the furniture of their dreams.
So put aside your pride and prejudice as we break down the key features and differences of Henry, Lindon, Sawyer, and Crew to help you find a great fit for your home.
Unlike these "Love is Blind" contestants, we hope you don't go furniture shopping in an isolated pod.
The Henry line is where timeless design meets modern functionality. With clean lines, soft edges, and plush cushions, it offers a versatile look that can work in both traditional and contemporary spaces. Available in a range of fabrics and leathers, the Henry collection is a great choice for those looking for a tailored yet comfortable seating option from Flexsteel.
The Sawyer line offers a sleeker aesthetic that is great for urban living or minimalistic interiors. It features up to 8 modular sectional pieces to configure for your space. Its slim profile, clean lines, and geometric shapes make it a go-to choice for those who prefer a more contemporary design.
The verdict? Sawyer is ideal for those looking for a more geometric, modular design that’s both stylish, functional, and comfortable.
The Linden line offers a balance of luxury and comfort. It’s designed for those who appreciate elegance but don’t want to sacrifice relaxation. With deep seats, plush cushions (including a sleek arm design), and a refined aesthetic, Lindon gives you the best of both worlds. It's almost like a combination of the Henry line and the Sawyer line.
The verdict? Linden is ideal for those seeking a blend of sophistication and coziness for an upscale yet inviting living space.
The Crew line is all about laid-back comfort, but with a dash of sophistication. It features plush cushioning and a more relaxed design, making it ideal for family rooms, media rooms, or any space where comfort is king. Its casual aesthetic makes it the perfect choice for everyday lounging. Yet it comes with an attractive Raven black color option for more elegant settings.
The verdict? Crew is ideal for those looking for casual seating with just a touch of sophistication.
Flexsteel, a brand known for its quality craftsmanship and lasting durability, offers a variety of furniture lines that cater to different tastes and needs. Among their offerings, the Henry, Sawyer, Lindon, and Crew lines stand out for their unique blend of style, comfort, and customization.
In other words, there are plenty of furniture fish in the sea!
