To Flip or Not Flip? That is the question!
Understanding What is Inside Your Mattresses: Many manufacturers like Serta have switched to easy care styles which do not require you to flip them over several times a year.

Beautiful Chairs and Recliners
Looking to redo your room? Many people come in looking to redo a room, and want the comfort of reclining furniture, but do not want the ‘look’ of a recliner. Most reclining furniture has pillow backs and arms, and reveal they are reclining because of a handle on the side. Reclining furniture is also usually taller because of the needed head support when the piece is laid back and used for sleeping. Even though many times this styling may be comfortable, it isn’t always the

Our Dream....?
Our Dream....is for yours to come true! To help you get in the mood, here are five ways to get the best sleep! Only do it once a day to keep your rhythm.

Sofas Don't Have to be Brown
Understanding costs of sofas today, Due to fabrics, construction So many people come in today, and are surprised to see sofas in other colors besides brown! Brown and gray tones seem to dominate the color palettes of the sofas we see in the marketplace, but why is that?
