Know before you buy
The Espen offers a relaxed, sink-in feel. The combination of high-resiliency foam, memory foam inserts, and a down wrap creates a plush seat that maintains its shape over time.
Yes, both the seat and back cushions are loose. This makes them easy to rotate, fluff, or remove for cleaning.
The Espen is quite substantial, measuring 56 inches wide and 42 inches deep. Given its generous scale, it works best in larger living rooms, bedrooms, or open-concept spaces.
This suspension system provides consistent, firm support across the entire frame. It prevents sagging and ensures the chair remains comfortable and structurally sound for years.
With a seat depth of 25 inches, it is designed for a more relaxed, lounge-style sit. It is ideal for curling up with a book rather than formal, upright task seating.
American Leather provides a lifetime warranty on the frame and the suspension system, ensuring long-term durability for the core structure of the piece.
