About Us

Family owned and operated since 1991

Timlin's Furniture & Mattress has been family-owned and operated since 1991. Founded by Tim and Linda Kovacevich, who were in their young 20's respectively at the time, the store began with a commitment to offering the highest quality products at affordable prices. This dedication is encapsulated in their slogan: "Your Best Choice for Quality and Value."

Linda's passion for interior design blossomed during her tenure as a salesperson at a furniture store, starting at age 16. Tim joined the same store while student teaching, aiming to earn extra income. Their shared experiences and aspirations led them to establish their own furniture store in Hartford with the support of Linda's parents, Bob and Mary, who were entrepreneurial dairy farmers. Their guidance and business acumen helped Tim and Linda navigate the early challenges of entrepreneurship, laying the foundation for the store's success.

Over the years, Timlin's has continually evolved to meet customer needs. The store offers a comprehensive range of furniture, including pieces for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and home offices, as well as mattresses. They pride themselves on continuously evaluating their product offerings, always searching for the newest ideas and best values from all furniture manufacturers to ensure the best possible selection for their customers.

The store has undergone several expansions and renovations, yet remains in it's original Hartford location.

  • A showroom expansion in the early 2000s
  • A newly renovated showroom and updated front façade in 2023
