Recession revelation: Furniture frenzy forthcoming??

April 10, 2009

I read a recent article in Forbes.com that confirmed my belief that every cloud does have a silver lining.

In the story, which you can read here  http://www.forbes.com/2009/03/31/consumer-behavior-recession-business-commerce-buying.html?partner=email , the writer says that the recession ( a bad thing) is likely to improve this year (a good thing).

But the bad news, according to the article, is that all the good deals that have been available to consumers, may slip away as the economy begins to rebound.

The good news for us in furnitureland is that furniture made the list of 10 things consumers should buy before the economy gets better.

Granted, we came in at number 10 on the list, but we made it!

The number-one item on the list was a house.  That’s fine with me.  Since we are tied to the housing market, the more homes sold, the better our chances of selling lots of furniture to put in those houses.

So, now that you know, don’t just sit there.  Forward this blog to all your family and friends and tell encourage them to hurry up and buy that furniture theyv’e been thinking about before it’s all gone.

Hey, you never know!

I found a fantastic sleeper mattress in a hotels with my family, I pulled the sheets up too see..the Cozy Mattress...it was a 9" pillow top and longer than normal..I'm 220lbs and it was perfect..I slept on it with one of my sons..no bar no back ache and no bad attitude in the AM. I hope they bring it to the retail market soon! What a great night sleep...

Ray, i appreciate you trying to create a stimulus pkg for the industry...but what I really need is a great sleeper mattress that doesn't break my "new" (family) roommates back, pride or attitude so they can go out and find work and get the heck out of my house! Is there anything NEW on the market besides air and the old thin coil that can't hold a grown man?
