    Mattresses, like anything else in your house, wears out over time. The problem is, there are no solid signs for replacing your mattress.

But your mattress could look fine, yet still need to be replaced. We use our mattresses every day, approximately 1/3 of our lifetime.

It's easy to create a beautiful room without sacrificing your personal style. Here are a few tips you can follow to arrange your bedroom furniture in an appealing and functional way. Traditionally, folks tend to place a double, queen-sized, or king-sized bed against the centre of the wall opposite the main door to the room. With this arrangement, the headboard is the centre of attention as you enter the room. If the dimensions of your room prevent you from positioning your bed on the wall across from the door, other possible choices depend on which walls are long enough to accommodate the bed. Diagonal placement works well when you have the space. Do not place a bed under a window, if the window will frequently be

    Purchasing from Us!

    Benefits of Purchasing as a Set There is great value in purchasing a set vs buying individual pieces. Whether it is a couch and love seat, or a mattress and a box spring - there are many reasons to get the matching pair. When talking about a mattress and box spring we constantly get asked just for the mattress without the box spring. A common misunderstanding is that the box spring will last forever and does not need to be replaced. Not only does the box spring wear with time, the mattress is made for a specific box spring and the warranty depends on it. How Your Warranty Works The validation of your warranty depends on the mattress sitting atop the matching box spring. The manufacturer creates these two pieces together for a reason. The main reason being that the box spring is made to support the mattress that was made for it. To validate your warranty you should have the mattress on top of the matching box spring. When purchasing a sofa

    Livingroom Care Guide Tips

    The living room is one of the most used place in your home. Whether you’re relaxing after a long day, grabbing a quick bite to eat and watching the game, or entertaining guests, your sofa or sectional will be well used. That doesn’t mean your sofa needs to appear worn. Follow this care guide to keep your living room furniture looking as new as the day you brought it home.

    Daily maintenance

    Most living room upholstery can easily be wiped down. Grab a clean, dry white hand towel or lint brush and wipe down the entire sofa. This will break up dried-on spots and remove bits of food or dirt caught up in the corners. If you have pets, this method also helps grab pet hair caught on the surface. Placement in your home also plays a big role. Most fabrics, especially leather, fade when kept in direct sunlight. Consider moving your sofa around to avoid direct light, or cover those areas exposed to direct light with a throw pillow or throw blanket.

    Dining Comfort

    When the family gathers to share food and laughter, the dining table stands at the centre of it all. Whether handmade, purchased, or inherited and steeped with history, the table holds special significance to families, particularly at holiday time. It's where memories are made.

    There was a time when many of us had a dining room with an imposing wood table, matching chairs and matching buffet. But today’s aesthetic is less rigid and more relaxed – all that dark matching furniture is overwhelming and looks dated. So how can you create a dining room that is special, fresh and never boring? One great way is to focus on your chairs.

    Upholstery. Upholstered dining room seating is comfortable and adds colour and style to the room. If you have the option to reupholster existing chairs, consider something daring – toile or an animal print or a bold geometric. It can take a matching set from drab to fab! Bench Seating. Bench seating works well in a laid-back dining
