    Part 3 : 3 Best Ways to Save Money At Surplus Furniture

    save1

    The last and foremost best way to save at Surplus Furniture is to take advantage of the weekly and monthly sales that are going on. Let me start by telling you the definition of sales. Sales is defined as a rapid disposal of goods are reduced prices for a period. The thing with sales are they are never forever. They come and they go. You definitely do not want to miss out on a sale. Sales = Savings. It's a no brain-er. For example we are currently running out 5pc Package event. For any 2pc living room set you get you will get a chance to get a free 3pc table set. Now the catch to this is supplies are very limited. Once supplies are gone no free tables will be offered. Why miss out on getting yourself some free items. So next time you are in Surplus Furniture remember the sale you see now, might not be the same sale offered next time you come back. Why miss out!

    In conclusion, with how the economy is going nowadays every penny you save in one area will

Although a twin is an ideal size for a small child, a growing teen might be a little cramped. Investing in a larger size now, may save you money down the road.

    How to Care for Your Area Rug

    An area rug can be a room’s most definitive and stylish decorative item. Depending on its size, shape, and colour, an area rug can change the entire look and tone of a room, or establish an elevated sense of cohesion among furniture. It’s for this reason that homeowners continue to turn to the area rug when decorating a home’s interior. While area rugs are staples of home décor, some homeowners may be unsure of how to best protect and preserve their rugs. To extend the longevity of your area rug, it’s essential to be diligent about regular care and upkeep. The quality of an area rug can quickly diminish as a result of foot traffic, sunlight exposure, dust, dirt, and stains if adequate care isn’t given.

    Don't Be Fooled!

    Older houses are famous for their unique character and old time charm. They are also infamous for their small doorways and awkward stairways, reeking havoc on those moving furniture. Too often, I hear of people compromising style and comfort, for what actually fits up the stairs! Settling for a full size bed rather than the queen they really wanted. There are options out there. Split boxes – This is a queen box spring, that comes in two separate pieces, that will fit just about anywhere. Bam!! Up-sized!! Reclining Sofa sets – Don't be fooled by the size. These suckers can also fit anywhere! Reclining sets separate into small (much lighter) chairs that will easily pass through any door way. At Surplus Furniture, our friendly and knowledgeable staff will easily help you make some tough decisions, without compromising style or comfort. Solutions are out there, and its our business to find them for you!!

    Know When to Say “Good Bye” to Your Old Mattress!

    “Should I buy a new mattress?” If you’re asking yourself this question, it’s probably because sleeping has become a little less comfortable, and your mattress is a lot less supportive. Though there isn’t any set time period for replacing your mattress, it might be time to shop for a new one if:

    • You regularly wake up grouchy, achy or tired. • You’re getting a better night's sleep when you’re away, rather than in your own bed. • You notice your mattress is looking a bit lumpy or saggy. • You’re over the age of 40, and you’ve already had your mattress for 5 years or more. (as we age, our bodies tolerate less pressure to the joints)

    Do any of these points sound familiar? If so, get into your closest Surplus Furniture and Mattress Warehouse and let one of our knowledgeable staff help you pick out the perfect mattress set to get you sleeping w
