  • How to Spot the Best Deals on Furniture Year-Round

    Finding the best furniture deals doesn't have to be a daunting task. Whether you're moving into a new home, upgrading your existing furniture, or simply looking for pieces to complement your style, there are strategies to help you score significant savings. This guide outlines essential tips for spotting quality furniture deals throughout the year. Timing Your Purchases for Furniture Deals One of the best ways to snag fantastic discounts is by planning your purchases around the seasons. Retailers often have sales during specific times of the year. End-of-Season Sales : Many retailers want to clear out stock to make room for new arrivals. This happens at the end of winter and summer. Look for markdowns on outdoor furniture in late summer and cozy indoor pieces in winter. Holiday Sales : Major holidays like May Day, Easter, and Black Friday are great times to shop. Retailers generally offer significant discounts during these events. New Furniture Releases : When new furniture lines are introduced in spring and autumn, previous collections often go on sale. Timing your purchase for this period can lead to excellent discounts. A stunning living room featuring contemporary furniture styles Knowing Where to Look for Deals To find the best furniture deals, knowing where to shop is equally important. Different places can offer varying deals. Online Retailers : Websites like Wayfair, Mattressman and even Amazon frequently have sales. Check their clearance sections for deeply discounted items. Warehouse -based stores like Furnish4less often provide quality furniture at lower prices. With higher stock levels for immediate delivery Secondhand stores Ebay, Facebook, and Etsy Markets : can yield unique pieces at fractional prices. While it requires some digging, you may find gems worthy of a refresh. An inviting flea market stall showcasing various vintage furniture Utilizing Promotional Events and Discounts Retailers often provide various promotions and discounts. Stay alert to not miss out. Email Sign-Ups : Many companies offer discounts for subscribing to their newsletters. This can include immediate discounts, exclusive sales, or early access to clearance sales. Loyalty Programs : Some retailers have loyalty programs that reward frequent customers with exclusive perks and discounts. Use these to your advantage. Price Matching : If you have a specific item in mind, check if the retailer offers price matching. If you find a better price at a competitor, they might match it. Don't forget to check out current furniture promotions that might catch your eye! The Importance of Research Research is crucial in finding the right deals. Read Reviews : Don’t just focus on the price; check reviews on furniture pieces. Quality matters and a well-reviewed piece might be worth the investment even if it's slightly pricier. Compare Prices : Use comparison tools online to ensure you're getting the best deal. Websites like Google Shopping allow you to see multiple retailers for the same item. Follow Social Media : Retailers frequently post flash sales on their social media pages or through their apps. By following them, you can catch these deals before they disappear. Final Considerations for Deal-Hunting Finding great furniture deals requires effort, timing, and a little creativity. Always stay mindful of your budget and look for the best option that fits your needs. Keep these tips in mind as you shop, and soon you'll be able to furnish your home without breaking the bank. Remember, patience is key; the best deals don't always come overnight. Now go out and find that perfect piece without maxing out your credit card!

  • Mattress Settlement and Body Impressions.

    Mattresses are primarily based on a support unit which is then topped with comfort layers. It is when these comfort layers start to compress that beds suffer from dips and sags; known as mattress settlement. In a quality mattress, these will be natural fibres whereas in cheaper entry-level models this may be polyester or foam. Either way, these comfort fibres will start to settle once you’ve slept on the bed for a while as they compress into position. What is mattress settlement? Mattress settlement is where the fillings of a mattress compress and ‘settle’ into position. As you sleep in the same space most nights mattress settlement tends to occur quicker in that space than the rest of the mattress. It’s like only sitting on one side of the sofa, when you try the other side it may feel plumper or firmer. Mattresses with very soft layers such as Wool, Alpaca or Cotton, are more prone to settlement. Therefore, constant twisting and rotating of the mattress whilst new is extremely important to even out the wear pattern to reduce and prevent undue settlement. Even Vi-Spring, one of the premier mattress manufacturers, gives this essential information advising that initial body impressions are not a fault of the mattress but an intrinsic part of the mattress bedding in period. Guide Mattress tolerances to settlings by Fira. Settlement Measure Guide Estimates by Type of Mattress. Months 0-6 6-12 12-24 24-36 36-48 Ordinary Pocket / Spring 2.5cm 3cm 3.5cm 4cm 4.5cm Memory Spring/ Pocket 2.5cm 3cm 3.5cm 4cm 4.5cm Pillowtop Spring / Pocket 3cm 3.5cm 4cm 4.5cm 5cm In our experience "NBF". settlement can be a cause for unnecessary concern. Showing itself more in mattresses with a bigger span area such as king size or super king sizes There is no official industry standard for determining whether the settlement is excessive, as there are simply too many variables to consider. Some bed manufacturers, retailers and independent inspection companies use a measuring system based on the type of mattress fillings and the age. To add further information with regard to this I have enclosed extracts from published articles from the NBF, and other sources bellow. "The most common issue is settlement or dipping; a luxury mattress will settle quite a bit, and if it has a topper this could be even more in the first few months”. “in particular, high-end mattresses were subject to settlement. This means that initially, body impressions would be more visible as the mattress fillings directly beneath the user are compressed” “In our experience settlement can be a cause of unnecessary concern. Showing itself more in mattresses with a bigger span area such as king size or super king sizes “The bottom line is that settlement and indentations are going to occur in all mattresses. If a person was five foot wide and 6 foot high the depression and settlement would be equalised over the entire mattress. However, people are not the same size and shape of a mattress and, therefore, body shaped impressions will occur.” Settlement on its own is not an indication that the mattress is failing – on the contrary, a mattress with generous layers of comfort fillings should be expected to demonstrate ‘body impressions’ and is an indication that the mattress is performing correctly. Similar to a good pair of leather shoes, a new mattress will ‘relax’ and take on the shape of the user. There seems to be a misconception amongst some people that a mattress should look and feel as good as new even after months or years of service – despite it supporting your body for around seven to eight hours every night. The extent to which the mattress will show signs of settlement depends on a number of factors such as the weight of the user, the number of fillings, the type of fillings, the firmness of the mattress, whether the mattress is two-sided or single-sided. Larger size mattresses such as super king-size (180cm wide) and king size (150cm wide) will show signs of settlement more so than a smaller size mattress. This is because there is a wider area in the centre of the mattress that doesn’t get used and the fillings don’t become compacted. This ‘ridge in the middle accentuates the sleeping areas on either side of it where the fillings will have settled or compacted during the night. Whilst these body impressions can be quite noticeable, they are not necessarily a sign that the mattress support has failed. A mattress that has collapsed or sagged will be very evident when you lie on it – there will be a distinct lack of support, almost a sensation that you can feel right through to the bottom surface of the mattress. The NBF recommends that you follow the care instructions supplied with your mattress to prolong its life and minimise the effects of settlement. However, you should expect your mattress to show some signs of settlement and remember that it is not necessarily an indication that the mattress is failing.

    Buying guide and informations for beds and mattress Bed & Mattress Buying Rules. Buying Guides • Choosing a Bed • Choosing the Right Mattress Hints and Tips for Beds and Mattress: The bed or mattress you buy will probably last from 1year to 10 years before at least the mattress needs replacing. Dependant on the quality of bed purchased. On average 8 years use is pretty good. During that period, you will spend up to a third of your life lying on it, so you want to be sure that you’ve chosen exactly the right bed or mattress for you! This section is here not just to show you how to buy a bed or mattress, but to ensure that you buy the right bed or mattress for you. Bed buying tips The following five tips are the ones that we think are most useful when buying beds and mattresses, but there are several other web sites which give more detailed information – our favourite is the Sleep Council’s site. • Buy the biggest bed you can afford and comfortably fit in your bedroom – the bigger the bed, the better night’s sleep you’ll get. • Balance firmness and comfort, bearing in mind your weight and build – too firm and it’ll be like sleeping on a board; too soft and you’ll have too little support. • Buy the best quality mattress you can afford – it will repay you many times over in the quality of sleep you get. • Buy the right type of mattress for your bed type – some mattresses are designed to work best with a particular type of base. Choosing the right size bed The right size bed is also dependent on the right size mattress. Choose a mattress that is at least 4 inches longer than the height of the tallest person sleeping on it. Then choose a bed design that will fit the mattress; and finally choose a design, size, and scale that fit the room. The standard sizes for mattresses are as follows: Bed types Divan beds explained: The most commonly bought bed type is the divan bed and, while most of the above bed types are pretty much self-explanatory, the divan bed is available in a number of different permutations which require some explanation: Sprung edge divan base - The sprung edge divan base provides extreme luxury. As the name implies the springs come right to the edge giving real edge to edge support. Platform top divan base - The top of this divan base is solid and padded, to enhance mattress support and provide a firmer bed. Storage options/drawers - One of the distinct advantages of a divan bed is that its enclosed base allows the use of drawers to hold bed linen or other goods. Bed and mattress sizes Most of us are aware that beds and mattresses come in four standard sizes: single bed, double bed, king size bed and super king size. But you’d be surprised at how many people need non standard sized beds or mattresses, either for those odd shaped rooms or simply because they want to enjoy a bigger bed! Furnish4less specialise in supplying special size beds and mattresses, so please feel free to email them at sales@furnish-4-less.biz with your non-standard sized bed requirements and we’ll happily sort it out for you. If you want a standard size bed or mattress, you’ll need to measure up the room to see how well the desired size will fit. Bear in mind that, if you intend buying a bed with storage drawers, you’ll need to allow extra room for the drawers to be fully opened. Here are the standard size bed and mattress dimensions: Bed Size x Width x Length Single 3ft x 6ft 3in 90 x 190cm Small Double 4ftx 6ft3 120 x 190cm Double 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in 135 x 190cm King 5ft x 6ft 6in 150 x 200cm Super King 6ft x 6ft 6in 180 x 200cm Choosing the right mattress There are Five types of mattress: pocket sprung, open sprung, orthopaedic foam. hybrid Each mattress type has its own merits and some types of mattress cannot be successfully used with some types of bed, so please ask for our advice if you’re not sure. The firmness of the support provided by a bed base can be further adjusted by the firmness of the mattress used in combination with that base. Mattresses come in four grades of firmness: medium, medium firm, firm and extra firm (sometimes call ‘orthopaedic’). Pocket sprung mattress One of the most luxurious in feel, offering ideal body support and comfort. Individual pocketed springs are linked together in a honeycomb pattern. They move individually as they compress and expand enabling them to adjust separately to your body shape and weight. Pocket-sprung mattresses can be filled with all manner of different materials to suit your needs, including wool for comfort and breathability. Open Coil Sprung Mattress This is the most traditional type of mattress and has a bouncy, springy feel, These springs are – available with different levels of tension 13 gauge 13.5 and 12.5 gauge being the firmest also now as orthopaedic. The open springs are all hinged together preventing spring noise and spreading the bodyweight evenly over the complete surface of the mattress. Some spring systems offer twice the number of springs providing a denser sleeping surface. Than traditional Bonnell open coil spring units. Continuous coil or open coil The first is made from a single looped wire, while the latter is made from single springs fixed together with one wire. While these are the most wallet-friendly of all mattresses, they can be uncomfortable – in the worst cases you actually feel the coils – and the whole thing moves if you move, meaning you are very likely to disturb your partner. Coil mattresses also wear out the quickest, and you might well find you and your partner meet in the middle when the sagging makes you roll inwards. Orthopaedic mattress An orthopaedic mattress is a bit of a misnomer really. Essentially, it's an extra firm mattress and can be a pocket, open coil and foam etc. Foam mattress Foam mattress systems, with their innovative design, provide comfort, performance, shape retention and long term durability. They generally back this with longer guarantees then you would find on standard open coil mattress. But are not for everyone and can take getting use to. The foam cells respond independently and exactly to sleepers’ weight and body movement. It is ideally suited to adjustable beds as the mattress freely follows the shape of the bed when adjusted. The sculptured construction of some multizone mattress system aids ventilation too. Memory foam These don’t have much spring, instead moulding to the shape of your body, which means that you're less likely to disturb your partner when you move at night. They keep their shape well and many of the ‘new generation’ ones are delivered to your door rolled and vacuum-packed. On the downside, they can hold body heat, making you feel hot and clammy – particularly if they are very soft. Gel Foam A gel foam mattress is a mattress that combines gel foam with a sprung or foam base. Gel foam is a viscoelastic foam mixed with gel beads that provide extra support and help to reduce heat build-up. Gel foam is designed to satisfy the desire for ultimate comfort and rival the popularity of memory foam. There are many different types of gel foam, the most popular being Geltex, sold by brands such as Silentnight and Sealy . This guide covers all you need to know about Geltex and gel foam mattresses. Latex Natural latex is superior to synthetic latex, and it’s also antimicrobial and resistant against mould and dust mites. There are two types of latex – the heavier, denser Dunlop latex, and Talalay latex, which is lighter and softer. These are also available in the "new generation" style, with the downside that they’re similarly prone to holding body heat. Some latex mattresses claim to last more than 20 years. Hybrid mattress These combos are mix-and-match versions of the mattress types. For example, pocket-sprung core (so you get the buoyancy) with a foam top layer (so you get the moulding effect). Home

Corner sofas / L-shape sofa Great for those with large living rooms, a corner sofa includes two sections of seating,. The overall shape resembles an ‘L’.

Modular sofa Great if you want to adapt the shape of your sofa. Modular sofas come in sections and can be put together any way you choose. Modular sofas are perfect if you're after a more bespoke feel or if you want to start small, but change and grow your seating space over time. Compact sofa Also known as a love seat or snuggle seat, a compact sofa falls between an armchair and a two-seater sofa in terms of size. It's characterised by a single seat cushion and single back cushion. Home Cushions & Fillings. Ultimately, you'll be sitting on your sofa for many hours, days and years. The main three sofa fillings are. fibre, foam feathers. Fibre If you like your sofa to feel like it's giving you a big hug, fibre could be for you. Man-made polyester hollow strands pumped full of air that compress and expel air as you sit, fibre gives a soft, relaxed feel and a plump appearance. A fibre sofa requires plumping and turning cushions every day to maintain the feather like feel. Foam The most common sofa filling, foam provides the firmest support and a more structured appearance. Foam cushions are supportive. They keep their tailored shape over time even with constant use and require very little maintenance. Occasional cushion turns will ensure the sofa wears evenly. Foam fillings vary in density and determine the firmness of a sofa. A higher-density foam will better maintain its shape. All new foam loses about fifteen per cent of its hardness over the first six months of use before it stabilises. This means that a foam sofa may initially feel a little firmer than it might have done when tried out in store. Expect a foam sofa to slowly lose a little volume in time. Feather Natural, luxurious and comfy, feather is a popular choice. Like fibre, feathers provide a softer, less structured look than foam. However, that sink-in feeling comes at a price; cushions will need regular plumping and turning to keep their generous rounded look and soft support. A hybrid of all fillings is becoming more popular. Feathers on their own can clump together, so feather is often mixed with foam to create a dreamy sofa to sink into. On the other hand, feathers can be combined with fibre to give cushions a little extra resilience. Fibre Fill Fibre Foam Wrap Feather Cushions Try Before you Buy Should you try a sofa before you buy it? Most people still prefer trying sofas out for comfort and quality before buying. 83% of the shoppers tried their sofa out in a shop before buying it. Only 7% tried their sofa in a shop, and then bought it online. Trying out a sofa is the only real way to know whether it’s comfortable. Comfort is the most important consideration when buying a sofa. if it’s not comfortable, you’ll regret your purchase. It's a good idea to try out sofas in several shops to compare and contrast price, quality as well as comfort. If you aren’t able to visit the shop and test out your sofa before buying it, make sure you buy from a shop with a returns policy that allows you to return the sofa if you are dissatisfied with it when it arrives. Different shops have different returns policies, so check this before you buy. Sofa styling tips If your living room is small, opt for low-back sofas to help give the feeling of more room. Slim legs and a gap between the sofa and floor create the illusion of space. If space isn't an issue, then high back sofas look great in rooms with high ceilings. Also corners sofas can fill vacant spaces. Modular sofas enhance open-plan rooms and offer flexibility, so consider a corner sofa with a removable chaise section or two.
