Add Two-Tone Furniture for Casual or Retro Flair, Available for Less from Us!

 As the poet Hopkins said of nature, “glory be … for dappled things,” meaning having two or more tones of color adds just that much more zest to life. That applies just as much to your home furniture. Spots of contrasting colors have long been an interior decorator’s way to add some visual interest to a dead or blah corner of a room. Good thing that Best Buy Furniture & Mattress has an outstanding selection of two-toned home furnishings to help thrifty shoppers like you realize their design dreams for your rooms!

Rad Designs for Two-Tone Living Room Furniture

Your living room furniture can have an easy and fun refresh thanks to two-tone sofa sets or end tables adding a sense of whimsy. For example, your couch and loveseat can be radical in red and mint green like a classic car’s bench seat upholstery for retro appeal. Add a high-class Danish modern TV stand in complementary colors such as cream and brown and you’re on your way to having a showplace fun for friends or just staying in nights watching the tube or chatting.

Classic Two-Tone Dining Furniture

A perennial favorite among our customers is two-tone dining furniture in more traditional, complementary hues, lending an air of friendly informality to your room or nook. One popular option is to have the dining table and chairs with distressed antique-style white legs but a deep brown plank-style tabletop. Similar shades also work for our personal favorite round dinette tables with their intriguing pedestal bases. The possibilities are endless.

No matter which two colors you choose, you’ll find the awesome home furniture you’re look for if you shop smart at Best Buy Furniture & Mattress in Philadelphia and South Jersey! We make the magic happen for far less than you thought you’d pay.

Hooray for Beautiful Outdoor Benches in YOUR Patio or Yard!

Now that summer’s starting its long goodbye, consider the cool and practical outdoor benches that can make YOUR patio or yard the place to snuggle as you watch the sun set and feel the nip of autumn as the breeze catches the changing leaves, showering you in a cascade of color. Of course outdoor benches and other sturdy outdoor seating options from Best Buy Furniture & Mattress are also awesome in the spring and summer. Our favorite outdoor benches are both the traditional park or sidewalk-style bench with a back and arms, as well as the picnic-style benches perfect for your outdoor dining set if you have restless little ones who want to get back to playing in the yard. They’re also phenomenal to have poolside as you and your kids take a break from either laps for exercise or endless foam rubber ball throwing and games of “Marco Polo.”

Laminated Outdoor Benches to Stop Rot

Like us you may be a romantic and traditionalist at heart, thinking fondly of outdoor benches made of all-American wood. But, you might ask, what about wood rot? Not to worry. Thanks to advances in outdoor furniture, today’s real wood benches are laminated to make weathering and rot truly things of the past. Rest in style on these sturdy outdoor benches for many happy seasons.

Extra Assurance: Go for Polywood Outdoor Benches

But if you really want indestructible outdoor benches, then join us in saying hooray for Polywood! This material for outdoor benches as well as Adirondack chairs and other seating is literally guaranteed to last. Better still, if you care about saving Mother Earth, these cool outdoor benches are manufactured entirely of recycled plastic!

With some well-chosen outdoor benches affordably from Best Buy’s Pennsauken, NJ store, you too can be the outdoor host with the most! Stop by to see how easy it can be.

What Is Engineered Wood and How Does It Help My Furniture?

Chances are as you’ve shopped for furniture deals you’ve come across this puzzling expression, “engineered wood,” used to describe many pieces’ construction and materials. Is this real wood? Is it durable? Today in our blog we’ll solve this furniture-business mystery for you.

The Way Engineered Wood Is Made

Solid wood is a single piece of kiln-dried timber cut from a tree, but the engineered wood used for affordable home furniture is a bit more complicated. It consists of particles of wood bound together with strong adhesives. This joins the layers at the particle or fiber level, much more than simply gluing boards together. For your dining table, etc., engineered wood is topped off with a veneer (top layer) of selective type wood. This construction makes engineered wood even MORE stable than solid wood! There are other names for engineered wood including man-made wood. However, it is real wood simply gone through a man-made process. The same soft and hardwoods that go into lumber are used to make engineered wood. Other names are composite wood and mass timber.

Engineered Wood Types

Types of engineered wood include perhaps the oldest and best known, plywood, known for its strength and versatility as well as being inexpensive. Other types of man-made wood include particleboard popular for shelves and renowned for being lightweight, densified wood, and fiberboard.

Uses for Engineered Wood

Because a factory process creates engineered wood, it can be tailor-made to ideally suit some home furniture’s uses. The size of the engineered wood piece can be anything you need, not dependent on the size of a source tree. When making engineered wood, the natural strength of wood fibers is maximized, giving your queen bed or other piece even more durability than solid antique wood! This wonder material is SO strong that it’s used in home construction!

Have full confidence in the rock-hard engineered wood frames you get with affordable home furniture from our Pennsauken, NJ area stores!

Outdoor Furniture 101: How to Choose

When you’re looking for cool deck or patio furniture, sure, you want style. And when you’re looking for porch furniture or outdoor fire pits at Best Buy Furniture & Mattress, that’s easy to find. But what else should you be keeping an eye on? As summer really gets under way in the Delaware Valley and down the shore, here are Best Buy’s free tips to choosing the best poolside or yard furniture for the long run.

Water Resistant Outdoor Furniture

Even if outdoor furniture is made of metal and fabric, be aware that the cheaper stuff can still rot or fall apart after a season of heavy use. Look for extra features that show your outdoor dining set and other pieces can take summer’s onslaughts such as rainstorms. Rust-resistant aluminum in a powdercoated finish is a sure thing. Also look for design features such as latticework tabletops so rain doesn’t pool or puddle on them. It sluices through to the ground, no problem.

Durable Outdoor Furniture Upholstery & Fabric

Another feature to look for in outdoor furniture that’s upholstered or made of fabric is something that can take heavy use, rain, AND sun! Sounds like a tall order. But don’t worry. You can get a cool outdoor sofa or chaise with lab-perfected performance fabric such as Nuvella or Sunbrella. Because these are synthetic fibers, the manufacturer adds the color when it is still molten plastic. That means nothing will fade this color. So sit down and enjoy safely tanning (with sunscreen) as well as your barbecue, drinks, and chat. When you choose your outdoor furniture well, you can use the money you save for more steaks on the grill.

No matter your outdoor furniture preference, you’re sure to find durable materials at the right price here. Stop by any of Best Buy Furniture’s locations including our Pennsauken, NJ store and stock up for this summer and many to come.

Get Performance Fabric for the Ultimate in Stain Fighting

Before the advent of performance fabric upholstery, time was when you spilled something on your living room furniture, you cleaned it as best you can and likely had a ghost of a stain for the rest of your sofa’s days. That time is long past thanks to the boom in synthetic fabrics. Not only are these fabrics easy to make and in a wide variety of colors and textures. Scientific advances in the manufacturing of these fibers makes performance fabric an indispensable part of your home furniture and accessories indoor and out. Here’s a brief overview of performance fabric’s astounding success story and why it belongs in YOUR household.

Performance Fabric 1, Stains 0

When you choose performance fabric for your living room loveseat and ottoman, you need never worry about kids and dogs ruining upholstery again! To understand why we boldly make this claim, first you have to understand how performance fabric is made. With conventional cloth, the natural fibers are made first, then dipped in a dye that doesn’t saturate the fiber all the way through. That means “these colors run” when there’s trouble such as a cranberry-juice stain or the sun’s relentless rays on your chaise longue. No worries, say the makers of performance fabric. This material is molten plastic before it’s refined into cloth fibers. The trick is to mix the color into the liquid plastic, so that when the plastic is made into fibers and cools, it’s 100% that color. No lasting stains or fading!

Outdoor Performance Fabric: Sun and Weatherproof

Of course the uses of colorfast performance fabric seem self-evident: living room furniture getting heavy use as well as awnings and upholstered outdoor dining sets. Also, outdoor umbrellas made of this fabric not only remain pristine: they block UV rays!

Count on performance fabric to keep looking new! Get it on your next piece of living room or outdoor furniture at our Pennsauken, NJ store.

Pick the Right Mattress for Your Sleeping Style

Believe it or not, there’s more to picking the ideal mattress than a soft “ride” with firm support at the center. Also take into consideration the way you normally lie on your bed. Different mattresses have their relative strengths and weaknesses depending on if you prefer sleeping on your back, side, or stomach. That’s why Best Buy Furniture’s mattress store keeps a wide variety of constructions and materials available in-store and available to order. No two sleepers are exactly alike. So after you’ve read this overview on sleep posture and its impact on your mattress choice, stop by our store to test-drive a few hybrid mattresses yourself!

Medium Firm Mattress for Back Sleepers

If you’re sleeping flopped out on your back, congratulations! You may not win a cash prize for it, but you are the easiest person to get a mattress for, the sleep experts say. Celebrate your good fortune by investing soundly in a medium-firm mattress in your choice of size. Even our most basic, inexpensive innerspring mattress will do the job if you don’t jump on it (your mom was right) and if you turn it over regularly and replace it every decade. The trick to the right mattress for you is to make sure your spine’s lower indentation, the lumbar curve, is ably supported. We especially suggest you consider a medium-firm mattress made with pocketed coils, a slight expense well worth it, and a firm foam core.

Super-Soft Mattress for Side Sleepers

Okay, you know who you are: you like sleeping on one side! Maybe your sinuses stay open better that way or it just feels good. Well, you’ve got a challenge in picking a good mattress for you. Sleep experts say this position is the hardest for even the best mattresses to adjust to. But don’t despair. There IS a sleep solution for you at Best Buy. Check out our selection of extra-soft latex foam mattresses. These are especially forgiving to the sharp angles such as your elbow that a side sleeper digs into the mattress.

Extra Firm Mattress for Stomach Sleepers

Maybe you’ve slept face down all your life. The trouble with this sleep preference is you’re more liable to suffer back pain. Achy pressure points are another problem you have to factor in when buying your next mattress. That’s why you should opt for something super-firm. Look for tough steel springs and/or high-density foam core mattresses to best suit your posture in bed.

No matter your preferred sleep position, our Philadelphia,PA store has a mattress for you!

Tiny Space? Avoid Design Pitfalls with the Right Furniture and Accents

If what the realtor or ad described as “intimate” is really “too small,” don’t panic. You too can have an awesome interior design for your home without breaking the bank. All it takes is a bit of thought. This is important because when you are squeezed tight with your square footage, you have nowhere to hide. Any mistake in furniture choice or placement is plain to see. That’s why Best Buy Furniture & Mattress is happy to share with you some free advice, recommended by design pros and honed through years of our helping customers like you, to prevent the most common mistakes new households make when laying out their home furniture. 

Go for Storage Furniture in the Foyer

Some designers have recommended open shelving in a tiny entryway. Well, guess what? They’re wrong! You see, piling your stuff on open shelves, showcasing the mess, just doesn’t make sense. No, you want to hide any clutter. A lovely accent cabinet will do the job wonderfully. Add some seasonal flowers in a vase on top to complete your guest’s first impression of your awesome design sense.

Don’t Be Afraid of Laying Out a Big Rug

We understand the massive temptation to skimp on an accent rug when filling a small space. The trouble is this makes the room seem even smaller. No, this is a flaw you can easily hide. Once you’ve done your duty with a tape measure and written down the room’s dimension, go for it with the biggest rug you can find, maybe even defining the room’s motif with bold colors and/shapes such as those inspired by abstract art. Let your imagination be your guide!

But Scale Down Your Bed Size

While you may dream of resting on a majestic canopy bed in a California king size, that will have to wait until you acquire more floor space. Too big a bed is an eyesore and hogs the room. Consider a panel queen bed with a low headboard or a trim Danish Modern-inspired model. You want about a yard (3 feet, or a meter if you’re feeling European) of space separating your bed from the walls in front and on the sides, just for room for you and a partner to maneuver!

To make the most of any challenging home, check out your home furniture options always for less, visit one of our Pennsauken, NJ area stores.

Shake Things Up With a Rad TV-Room Design

If you’ve got the home of your dreams with a dedicated room just for TV and movie watching, fantastic! But those of us who are more space-challenged in our residences need not fret. Anybody can have an awesome area for the Eagles game or video-game showdown. All it takes is the right entertainment furniture and other accessories plus a little imaginative planning. We at Best Buy Furniture have helped households like yours with their “appointment TV” viewing pleasure even when the home advertised as “cozy” turned out simply to be “too small.” Read on and be inspired by some designer’s tricks plus hands-on experience with home furniture.

Carve Out Your Space for Maximum TV Viewing

Creating a corner or nook for your entertainment furniture can be as easy as strategic placement of an accent rug and or room partition such as a Japanese-style folding screen to mark off part of a larger room. One of our handy TV corner units might be just the thing for this small entertainment space. And you don’t necessarily have to lose out on a decent-sized screen! Our sturdy TV stands can readily hold your new set. Better still, you can add both heat and an air of intimacy for snuggling with one of our LED fireplace units that fit in some entertainment consoles.

Stay Focused with Minimalist Cool

Your mind may have a million design ideas. Or you’ve got lots of mementos to show off. But for your entertainment furniture, keep the emphasis on the screen and you can’t go wrong. With your media space, you want to minimize distractions, otherwise the room is “loud” like Grandpa’s lime-green pants. You don’t have to go entirely Zen with your TV room, however. Try a movie poster on the side wall for some panache.

Whatever your media furniture requirements, you’re sure to find what you need at one of our Pennsauken, NJ stores.

A Vision for the New Year: Redecorate Your Living Room

How typical of January! It’s the start of a new year, and of course our eyes can’t keep from lingering on fresh furniture. Perhaps the shapes and shades of our living room have lost their luster as of late; or perhaps there’s simply something in the air that whispers, our decor could be so much more, if we just experiment a bit.

As homeowners, tenants or landlords, we should always take the opportunity to examine the decor in our lives; how it affects our day-to-day, and the lessons we can take away from a re-decorating. Today Best Buy Furniture wants to revisit that old classic—the living room—to explore what does and doesn’t work when renovating your space.

Infuse the Room with Color, But Beware of Overwhelming

If the living room is indeed the epicenter of your home, what does that say about you and your home life if it’s rather lacking in color? We firmly believe in bringing a full spectrum of color into your spaces, but in a way that feels natural—not overly busy or forced.

Already have a chaise sofa and matching armchair in your living space, and a color scheme to start with? Then complement it softly, and subtly, with the addition of some tasteful accent pillows; maybe even an arrangement of flowers, blooming forth from your coffee table centerpiece?

Be Conscious of Personality and Practicality in Your Space

Usually, we tell our customers to be their most creative selves in their living rooms: to express it all, in a wide array of styles and colors; but inevitably, you do have to think about the function of it all. You may have decorated the most visually stunning living room side this side of Philadelphia, PA, but what good’s it doing you if you can barely walk between your coffee table and your sleeper sofa?

In placing any piece of furniture down into your living room, always ask yourself: would it make sense to sit here when talking to a friend, reading a book, or working on my laptop? Allow yourself to daydream and imagine exactly when, where and why you’ll be in your living room, and how you’ll feel when you’re there.

Acquaint Yourself with the Ins and Outs of Your Upholstery

If we had to stress one morsel of wisdom today, it would be this: know your upholstery well before you purchase it for your living room. You can spend countless hours online, scouring for that perfect set of living room decor; but at the end of the day, you can’t be sure that it’s what you need or want, until you see and feel it for yourself.

Conveniently, you can do that, without any pressure, by visiting Best Buy Furniture. Our Philly location is the destination for anyone looking to renovate and redecorate their living room the right way this year.

3 Clever Ways to Reinvent Your Home Office

Here’s the rundown: you maintain an office space in your home, but you rarely use it. We’ve all been there—restless and eager to work at our laptop, but feeling (rightfully so) that our bedroom just doesn’t cut it in terms of productivity. Today, Best Buy Furniture is here to tell you that you don’t always need to escape to the nearest café when you want to concentrate and work—you can rearrange, reinvent, and redecorate your home office! All it takes is some careful planning, and the results will astound you!

I. The Built-In-Nook

Imagine this, if you will. Instead of freely floating in the middle of your room, or pressing against a wall, your dedicated office desk can occupy a tiny nook of its own. We like this setup because it eliminates nearby distractions, helping us to concentrate on the task at hand. 

While a traditional computer desk could go the trick here, we encourage you to decorate any way you want—even if that means an adjustable height desk. Who says you always have to sit down as you work? 2018 was all about breaking old habits, and we expect all the more from 2019!

II. The Picturesque Home Office

If we had to guess, you’ve always dreamed of having your own full-fledge home office: a professional work zone, with a bookcase, fancy lighting, and plenty of storage included. Do you realize that a classic office credenza could give you all of that, in the style, finish and size that suits you best? 

It’s rare that one piece of furniture does the trick by itself, but in this case, a credenza is in fact a miracle. What’s even sweeter: because of the way a credenza can command a space, you can glamorize an otherwise dull and uninspiring home office, just by planting some stately decor in it.

III. The Repurposed Corner

In the world of home decor, a corner is sometimes to be avoided. But that’s nonsense in the home office! With the right office desk, you can work wonders. 

Conveniently, you can browse through our home office furniture collections to find just the right corner desk for the job, at a price that’ll get you thinking about redecorating on a week day. 

Visit our storefront in Philadelphia, PA, to reinvent your home decor!  

Celebrate a Brand-New Dining Room Set

As we near the start of the holiday season, we’re all probably thinking the same thing: we wish we had upgraded our dining room decor this year. But in the world of discount furniture, any time is a good time to purchase a new dining room set for your home or apartment!

Today we’ll explore just some of the ways you can reinvent and rearrange your dining room decor for yourself, your guests and family.

Your Dining Room Centerpiece: A Table for Any Size Gathering

Here’s one way to think about your dining room: your sense of style starts at your dining room table. Ask yourself what style reflects you, then how many guests you expect to see this year, and plan your decor around that. By the time you’ve chosen your rustic centerpiece, you’ll be amazed at how easy and intuitive the rest of the decorating becomes. The trick of the game, as always, is to get the ball rolling; and in the case of your dining room, that means knowing the aesthetic and the mood that you want.

Go one step further and invest in an extension dining room table that’ll seat and serve 5 guests for an intimate evening, then extend up to 7 or 8 on those most festive of occasions.

A Dining Room Buffet: Perfect Storage for Your Plates and Utensils

If you’ve ever wondered what you could do to revolutionize the look and feel of your dining room, your surest bet may be a dining room buffet or server. An ideal place to store extra plates, wines and utensils, the buffet frames the space itself, exuding a natural beauty of its own as well. We particularly enjoy rich antique woods and smoky finishes to contrast or complement the dining room table in the room. Buffets can range from sliding to displays, and drawers, in any color and style you could want for the space.

An Underestimated Piece of Upholstery: Your Dining Room Bench

How do you ooze cool in your dining room without overburdening the shelves and walls of your room? An upholstered leather bench would be the answer, of course. Perfectly squeezed between a pair of two dining room side chairs, your fabric or faux-leather bench can invite the eye, and cushion your guests as you spend the evening surrounded by delicious food and delightful company.
Whether it’s plush and tufted or entirely wooden, you may find that your dining room bench becomes a favorite among your friends and family, sooner than you realize it.

Best Buy Furniture Assists You in Decorating All Year Long

As always, Best Buy Furniture in Pennsauken, NJ is where you can find the best collection of dining room furniture, at prices that’ll inspire you!

Design Tips: The Bedroom

Your bedroom is probably your home’s most sacred space, the place to let your guard down and be yourself. It’s where you start and end your day, pass out with a pizza on Friday night (we’re not judging), pick out the clothes you’re going to venture out into the world in, and curl up into a ball under a pile of blankets when you’re feeling down. So choosing furniture and other decor for this room is very important. Here is some design advice to simplify this task.

Consider the Temperature

No, we’re not talking about opening a bedroom window or turning your thermostat up. Rather, what’s your bedroom’s emotional temperature, the dominant mood you want to set there? Are you extremely warm and welcoming? Then so should be your bedroom. Paint the walls with a warm hue. Accent your bed with colorful pillows. Accent the room overall with bright curtains.

Or what if you need to chill? Then cool colors, such as blues, greens, and violet, are in order to calm you down for the night.

You know who you are, so make your bedroom’s temperature into a reflection of yourself, and you’ll always feel comfortable in your most intimate, personal and private space.

Form and Function Are Your Friends

The two most important things to consider about your bedroom are that:

It suits your style and looks great. It looks like you. It’s a reflection of you.

It’s functional. It’s comfortable. It’s sensible. It’s logical.

In other words, you shouldn’t choose a beautiful-looking bedroom space that makes no functional sense, or vice versa. In the spirit of feng shui, a Chinese theory of interior design, think about what type of balance makes sense for you.

How big is your bedroom? Be realistic, because cluttering it won’t make sense. Less is usually more. Think about how it should flow to suit your routine.

Once the logistics are squared away, think about how you can achieve your needs in a manner that is most suitable to your style. Of course we have a wide array of items in our bedroom furniture inventory that will suit any taste.

Homework

So, now that we’ve gone over two important bedroom tips, we have a little homework assignment for you. Ask yourself these questions:

What temperature is your overall mood, and how can you make your bedroom reflect that?

What can be changed about your bedroom to make it more functional, and cohesive with your routine?

How can your personal stylistic preferences be applied to the newfound functionality of your bedroom?

And if you have any other questions or you simply want to check out what’s out there in bedroom furniture, come to one of our Pennsauken,NJ stores, check out our website or give us a call.

Renew Your Living Room in Three Easy Steps

The Chinese idea of feng shui makes much of keeping items that only bring you joy, eliminating clutter. The thinking behind this is just as clutter makes it hard to walk around your living room, it also blocks positive energy, known as chi. So if your living room furniture seems worn or dated, it’s probably bringing down your spirits in ways you might not even consciously feel. Time for an upgrade. The pieces that no longer inspire you can go to charity so you can renew your living space and refresh your life.

Step One: Make a Plan

First, decide on a specific theme. What kind of vibe do you want to give? Casual and relaxing? Upscale and luxurious? Fun and family-friendly? Classic such as Victorian? Modern? Futuristic?

Tip: Plants make great table-toppers to liven things up.

Step Two: Set a Budget

Whether you want to spend for an entire living room set or a state-of-the-art sectional sofa, we’ve got your back. Setting a realistic budget is critical. While we do offer an incredible Lay-A-Way program (which allows qualified buyers up to 12 months to finalize the payments), it’s always best not to go too far beyond your means. Before browsing our vast selection of living room furniture, always set a realistic budget for your needs and we will be happy to make the best suggestions we can.

Tip: If your budget allows, add a flash area rug to keep things fresh.

Step Three: Narrow Down the Options

Most discount furniture stores in Philadelphia and South Jersey don’t have as many options to choose from as us. It’s always best to find a reputable dealer that has a huge catalog of couches so you can easily narrow down your top two or three favorite options. Once you have it narrowed down, our product specialists can work together with you and your family to make your selections meet everybody’s needs. We will even work with you if you buy multiple pieces of furniture at once to help make things as affordable as possible!

Tip: If you’ve got a small space, rather than trying to hide this, embrace the smallness by pulling your loveseat and recliner close together with your coffee table, like a TV talk-show set.

Now that the hard part (or not-so-hard part if you use us) is done, it’s time to sit back and relax. Throw on your favorite Netflix series. Have some buddies over for the game. Fire up the Xbox. Whatever your means of fun is, we make the sales process quick and painless, so you can go back to living in style and comfort.

Tip: If you do want the illusion of more space, bright white walls with your favorite artwork mounted in white frames will do the trick.

Like any big life change, refreshing your living room furniture is daunting at first. That’s why our team of experts is here. We’ve sold furniture to numerous people from all walks of life with a variety of themes and color schemes. We’ll even make recommendations based on photos you email us or bring to our store! That’s how Best Buy has become the premier discount furniture store in Philadelphia, PA.

Reinterpreting Your Living Room: the Pizzazz of Sectional Sofas and Other Decor

All across America, homeowners, tenants and house guests everywhere find themselves at a crossroads: they have all the furniture they need, but nonetheless, they’re not quite satisfied with any of it. In the bedroom, this is a more localized, and personal problem; one that can be hidden out of sight until you see just the right nightstand or wall decoration to get you thinking contemporary vs. classic again. But in the living room of your home or apartment, this is, in fact, a social crisis waiting to happen.

Instead of leaving you hanging and unhappy in your most social of living spaces, today we’ll go into the ABC’s of living room renovations, starting with your sectional sofa:

The Geometric Potential of Your Sectional Sofa

Although you may be unaccustomed to thinking about your living room decor in terms of angles (and may be shying from any memory of Geometry altogether), compartments and partitions, we here at Best Buy Furniture see the wisdom in this from time to time—especially when renovating.

Take your sectional sofa, for example. While anyone could haphazardly drop this exceptional piece of upholstery up against the wall and call it a day, you’re a more discerning decorator, and you know this simply won’t work. The human eye can detect the tiniest hints of asymmetry at a glance, leaving you and any of your guests (regardless of your respective backgrounds in the arts) with the unshakable feeling that there’s something “off” about your living room.

Whether it be a 3 piece or 7 piece left-facing sectional sofa, think about the space that your sofa dominates and how this affects your surrounding furniture.

An Accent Ottoman Can Complement Any Size Sofa

After you’ve divvied up your living room and allocated a portion of it to your primary seating (be it in the form of a sectional sofa or power recliner), get to thinking about what best complements it. In most cases, we find that an accent ottoman is ideal here—being both aesthetically pleasing, and totally functional as a foot rest, makeshift table, or perch for your house pet.

In one inviting accent ottoman, you can fill in any voids left behind by your sofa, and create an oasis of sorts in your living room, encouraging you to relax, get productive, and be creative. At its best, your living room should inspire you to be yourself; and renovating the space with a new sectional sofa or leather ottoman can do this, easily and affordably.

Consult Your Local Decorators Whenever You Want

Having bequeathed you a few ideas to digest, we leave you to visualize all these possibilities in your own home or apartment. At the same time, we encourage you to reach out to us here at Best Buy Furniture in Pennsauken, New Jersey, to ask any questions you may have regarding sectional sofas, living room renovations, and everything related to affordable home decorating.

Which Size Mattress Should You Share?

No matter if you prefer sprawling or spooning, there are a number of mattresses that will please you and your partner. First and foremost when shopping for a mattress, which you should do ever 10 years to stay healthy, is SUPPORT. Your bed needs a good foundation to completely take over from your muscles to let you rest, and accommodate your partner’s needs and preferences as well. Does he or she need a Euro top for extra softness to easily fall asleep? Second comes COMFORT of course, such as a pillowy feeling to sink into while the firm mattress below does its job.

Cozy Full Mattresses for Extra Closeness

It may so happen that you and a partner’s sleep needs are perfectly in sync, and neither of you are “hot sleepers” giving off excess heat when at rest. If you are among those so fortunate, then a full-size mattress is ideal for snuggling! One thing to consider, however, are your heights; full mattresses are best if you’re both at most 5 feet 5 inches tall.

More Than One Mattress Solution for Motion Issues

Of course you want to sleep with your significant other but it’s often a tradeoff: people who snooze together report 50% more interruptions to their rest than those who don’t. If you share your mattress and one of you gets out of bed a lot during the night, you work different shifts, or one or both of you move a lot in your sleep, there is more than one mattress solution to keep both partners happy and help the relationship! There is the drastic solution of two twin or full beds, which isn’t just something you see in old movies: about 1 in 4 American couples go this route. But before you do that, sacrificing the closeness that builds your relationship, we’d like to tell you about the latest in gel-infused memory foam mattresses. These fine lab-developed items not only give your tired body a comfortable “ride” and diffuse excess body heat. They also maximally absorb your motion so your partner remains peacefully asleep! Of course if you need extra room to stretch out on top of that, go for a king mattress. But if square footage in your bedroom prevents that, not to worry. America’s favorite size is the queenmattress. With this state-of-the-art polymer technology, your new mattress will give you the sleep you need to be on top of your game AND ramp up your love life!

Whichever size mattress you prefer, you’ll find it among the top brands available at Best Buy Furniture & Mattress in our Philadelphia,PA area stores!
