Why You Shouldn't Flip or Rotate Your Mattress Thursday, May 27, 2021 If you are thinking it is time to flip your mattress, stop! Not many mattresses these days can or should be flipped. Most modern mattresses have pillow tops or memory foam tops, and those cannot be flipped. You want to be sleeping on the comfortable side.

And if you’re thinking about rotating your mattress, don’t do it! Sleep technology has come a long way. Newer mattresses are now constructed with sleep zones designed to provide better support to different areas of your body. The filling at the top of your mattress is built differently than the bottom, to offer accurate support to your head and feet.

Still Flipping or Rotating Your Mattress?
If you’re still arduously flipping and rotating your mattress every now and then and wondering when you should do it again, you’re asking the wrong question. The question you should be asking yourself is, is it time to buy a new mattress and the answer is yes. If your current mattress is indeed old enough that it can be flip flopped, then most likely it’s time for a replacement rather than another rotation.

Home Furniture Plus Bedding has a wide selection of mattresses that are built to accommodate every type of sleeper. Choose from support variations or temperature preferences to fit your sleep type and ensure a perfect night's sleep.

At our stores you’ll find all the leading mattress brands including Sealy, Nectar, Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster, and more. You can find these mattresses in all the standard sizes: twin, twin XL, full, queen, and king. We also have adjustable bases and frames, plus box springs and foundations - everything you need to redo your sleep setup.

William Schmolke - Employee Spotlight Saturday, May 15, 2021

“At Home Furniture, we make furniture repairs on anything we sell, and I know that’s far and above what our competitors do,” says William Schmolke. Affectionately known as “Smokey”, he has been one of our chainwide service technicians since 2009. While Smokey’s job requires much skill and knowledge, he continues his self-disciplined drive of learning in order to stay current with the ever-changing world of furniture, equipment, tools, and repairs. As with all of our jobs at Home Furniture, perhaps the most important requirement is that of “people skills.” Smokey adds, “When I make a call, nearly every customer who answers the door is unhappy. You gotta be able to talk with them but to also be able to sell the repair, sell yourself, and sell Home Furniture! A satisfied customer is a happy customer, and when they’re happy, I know they’ll shop with us again.”

Flint Davis, Customer Relations Director, says, “I still recall vividly interviewing Schmolke on a Saturday morning. Who would have known a Saturday interview would result in a sigh of relief. Schmolke has made a positive impact since joining our service team and continues to show vast improvement. He is always researching online for new innovative ways to repair furniture. Schmolke models (GREEN & GROWING) quoted by our CEO, Mr. Tony Kemp. Thank you for being a difference maker! You are making Home Furniture better and my job easier. You are one prepared pioneer in our company.”

One of Home Furniture’s expectations is to be “Clean, Neat, and Organized” with every aspect of our jobs. One look at Smokey’s repair van (inside and out) is a true testament to that, which is just one indicator of what our customers can expect with the quality of his work, and it shows.

Outside of work, Smokey stays active on most weekends enjoying nature with his family, especially on the West Pearl River on his “Old Cajun Houseboat.”

Born and raised in Slidell, LA, Smokey resides in Walker, LA, with Linda, his wife of 21 years. And for those who may not know, Linda is also a Home Furniture team member who has been at our Airline location in Baton Rouge for the past eight years.

 

Thank you, Smokey, for your talents, skills, dedication, and for your representation of what our company stands for.

Freda Stelly - Employee Spotlight Friday, April 30, 2021

In the late 1980s, Freda Stelly began her career at the original Home Furniture Plus Bedding on Surrey Street as a part-time office helper during our big sale days. In May of 1994, Freda became a full-time employee - mastering the positions of customer service at the front counter, payroll, and accounts payable. It didn’t take long for Ged Fleming, our founder, to recognize and reward her work ethic, drive, and self-discipline. Ged confidently promoted Freda to Home Furniture’s Finance and Receivables Manager for all stores, a position she maintains today.

When asked about her employment, Freda shares that she has “enjoyed every minute working at Home Furniture. It is like family. We’ve been through a lot over the years, and it’s all been good.”

Riggins Dore, manager of our Surrey street store, says, “Freda is always willing to help anyone in the company no matter what she has going on. She comes in every day with a smile on her face and is a perfect example of the Home Furniture culture.”

Freda’s passion outside of work is spending time with her family, cooking, and fishing. And most of all, she treasures time spent with her 4-year-old great-grandchild, Ahnaleigh.
Born in Morgan City, LA, Freda now resides in Leonville with Robert, her husband of 41 years.

Thank you, Freda, for sharing your joyful attitude, self-discipline, and determination with our Home Furniture Plus Bedding family day after day.

Johnnie L. Turner - Employee Spotlight Wednesday, April 14, 2021 Mr. Johnnie L. Turner has been with Home Furniture Plus Bedding’s Airline location in Baton Rouge for over ten years assembling, stocking, loading, unloading, and securing customer load outs along with maintaining a very clean, neat, and organized warehouse.

Harry Wiggins, store manager, says:
“Mr. Johnnie is a very well respected member of the team by all employees. He can be counted on to help provide guidance to the less experienced team members and is always trying to stay busy. He has a very strong work ethic and sets a great example for others to follow.”

These work ethics flourish to this day, as one can easily see in Johnnie's work and in his attitude.

Johnny says:
"I make sure to thank everyone for shopping at Home Furniture. It's a friendly place, like family. Everyone is concerned, and we care for each other."

Before joining our team, Johnnie already had 40 years of employment at a recycling plant, but it was when he worked in agriculture as a youth for just $5 a day that he learned the value of strong work ethics.

Additionally, Johnnie and his wife, Lola, both have master's degrees from Christian Bible College in Baton Rouge, along with Johnnie having also earned his doctorate at Saint John Bible Institute of Baton Rouge. They are both pastors with a combined 43 years of ministry at two area churches. It's not uncommon to hear customers addressing Johnnie as "Hey Rev!" daily.

Johnnie adds,
"Not only has the ministry prepared me for my future, but I'm able to help others with their future. It ain't about me. It's all about the Man upstairs."

Born and raised in East Feliciana Parish, Johnnie resides in Baton Rouge with his wife of 38 years, Lola.

Thank you, Johnnie, for leading by example in both your actions and your attitude!

Perks of an Adjustable Bed Wednesday, March 17, 2021 Wondering if you should invest in an adjustable bed? In short, yes you should. But if you need more convincing, Home Furniture Plus Bedding us here to help you make your decision a little bit easier, and prove to you why you need one of our adjustable bed frames in your bed room as soon as possible!

Here are three perks of having an adjustable bed:

1. Relieves Back Pain
Lying flat on your back may increase tension on your muscles and joints. Because adjustable bases allow you to raise your upper body and elevate your legs, they can help you find a sleep position that eases back pain—or keep pain from occurring in the first place. Doctors often recommend sleeping with an elevated head and slightly raised knees to help maintain the natural curve of your spine. You could do this with pillows, but as you move around during the night it’s easy for pillows to get knocked out of place. Those with more serious back conditions, like osteoarthritis or spinal stenosis, may also benefit from sleeping in a neutral position.

2. Reduces Snoring
Nothing disrupts sleep like snoring. Whether you are the snorer, or you sleep next to one, you know this to be true. Snoring happens when the flow of air through your nose and throat is restricted. This inability to breathe properly causes the surrounding tissues to vibrate, resulting in that familiar buzzsaw sound. Sleep position is one of the leading contributors to snoring. When you lie on your back, gravity pulls on your throat and constricts your airway. Raising your head can help keep your airway clear. If you have a snoring partner (or you are the snorer in a couple), consider using an adjustable base with a split king mattress; that way you will each be able to find the position that works best for you.

3. Get In and Out of Bed with Ease
Since an adjustable bed allows you to lift yourself up and lay yourself down with the click of a button. As you get older, you may find it harder to move around in bed. Being able to raise the head of the bed will make it easier to change position and get in and out of bed. Plus, some adjustable bases come with under-bed lighting, so you can see where you’re going if you need to head to the bathroom in the middle of the night or you kicked your slippers under your bed.

Linda Thibodeaux – Employee Spotlight Monday, March 15, 2021 The next time you see one of our Home Furniture Plus Bedding delivery trucks on the road or feel the comfortable A/C or heating blowing in any of our eight locations across East Texas and Louisiana, chances are, Linda Thibodeaux has helped keep them running smoothly. Linda joined Home Furniture on January 27th, 2007. Formerly a long-time Auto Zone employee, she is one of several of our DC staff who “came along with the building” (so to speak).

As our Chainwide Operations Office Manager, just some of her responsibilities include:

• Takes care of all business cards for the chain
• Oversees Candidate pre-employment screening
• Employee Time & attendance processing
• Accounts Payable processing
• Purchasing & maintenance for all company vehicles
• Purchasing & maintenance for all equipment and facilities
• Customer service solutions assistance

Craig Holston, Human Resources Manager, says:

“Linda Thibodeaux is part Energizer Bunny and part Pac Man! Her motor is always running full-throttle and she gobbles up any task thrown her way with a great attitude and a smile. She plays an important role affecting every employee in the company as well as many vendors and customers. Home Furniture is lucky to have such a great asset as Linda!”

To know Linda is to know that she is passionate about her job and for all of us who work for Home Furniture. When she is not working, her passion is all about spending time with her family, especially her grandkids, 11 year old Rees, 9-year-old Piers, and 2-year-old Ava. And then there’s fishing! Let’s just say that the fish at Toledo Bend or the Atchafalaya Basin swim in fear of Linda Thibodeaux!

“I like to keep our trucks and stores well maintained and alive!” says Linda.

Born in Arnaudville, La. and raised in Carencro, La., Linda resides there with her husband, Ricky, and their dog, Duke. They have two adult children, Mandy and Jordan.

Is A More Expensive Mattress Worth It? Sunday, February 28, 2021 Can you put a price on a good night's sleep? In short, yes, you can. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, sleep is important to a number of brain functions, including how nerve cells (neurons) communicate with each other. In fact, your brain and body stay remarkably active while you sleep. Recent findings suggest that sleep plays a housekeeping role that removes toxins in your brain that build up while you are awake.

Therefore, yes, a more expensive mattress is more than worth your money. Here at Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana, we have a number of luxury mattresses for you to choose from and finally get the sleep you deserve. Here’s two of our favorite brands we recommend:

Tempur Pedic Mattress
Tempur Pedic mattresses were inducted into their Space Technology Hall of Fame in 1998 for improving life on Earth with innovations designed for space, are #1 in Customer Satisfaction

Flint Davis – Employee Spotlight Sunday, January 31, 2021 Flint’s journey with Home Furniture began September 21st, 1998 at our Lake Charles location as the store’s very first customer service manager. Not only did he succeed in fulfilling the position, he also established the footprint of disciplines and processes which are used to this day at our company’s chainwide customer service department located at the DC.

When Flint was promoted to Customer Relations Director in February 2003, he accepted the responsibility of establishing and training a full time staff to service and support the needs of our growing company.

Born and raised in Lake Charles, Flint now resides in Lafayette with Toni, his wife of 28 years along with their daughter, Ashley, and their peekapoo dog, Bentley.

While the past 23 years have offered both challenges and rewards, this former Marine of 8 years of service within Desert Storm/Desert Shield has used his experience to not only train those for the job, but to also train them for “life.”

As Flint says:

“God has given me a platform and opportunity to use my gifts of training, encouragement, and leadership. I don’t want to die with all my gifts. I want to share them all so that others can share them as well and make others better. That’s what pushes me! I love people and I really care for them and strive to help them to become better through relationships, character building and to become good model citizens…to be able to witness a bunch of caterpillars in cocoons flourish into beautiful butterflies.”

An avid learner, an effective and encouraging teacher, and an organized leader. Flint’s demeanor shows a quiet man of God who listens to learn with the results shown more by his actions than by merely his words.

From being hired as the Lake Charles Customer Service Manager to being promoted as the company’s Customer Relations Director, Flint Davis’ 20+ years with Home Furniture has undoubtedly helped our company expand its services and capabilities for both the betterment of our customers as well as all of us who are lucky enough to learn from him.

Types of Accent Chairs
There are so many types of accent chairs, that finding the perfect one for you and your space may seem overwhelming. Here is a breakdown of the types of accent chairs available to you:
• Slipper chair- A smaller, armless chair with a lower seat scaled for smaller spaces, the slipper chair is often used in bedrooms or in small spaces or areas where less visual weight is needed.
• Wingback chair- High-backed, armchair flanked by “wings” that envelope the occupant that are great for blocking out cold drafts. Looks best next to a large sofa
• Club chair- a roomy, fabric or leather chair with deep seating that is notoriously known for great napping.
• Barrel Chair- Its name comes from its shape, the nail barrel. It has a fully curved back and a low profile that makes a chic, comfortable design statement. This chair would look great in any living room setting, depending on the fabric type you choose.
• Swivel Chair- Swivel-base chairs fill a space where you need flexibility, in an office, for different conversation arrangements, or in a nursery.

Compliment Your Selection
Once you have selected which type of accent chair you want to add to your living room, it is time to style it! Incorporate some life and color into the room by adding plants or flowers. Add some comfort to the space by adding throw pillows and blankets. This is like adding a necklace to an outfit!

Sleep Perfectly in the Comfort of Your Farmhouse Bedroom Friday, October 2, 2020

• Wood

  Rustic but not rough! Look to simple, unpainted (or rustic painted) wood to decorate your farmhouse bedroom. Maybe choose wooden stands, like the Jasper 4 Drawer Nightstand. It has plenty of room for storage, and its rustic paint is perfect for a farmhouse feel. Or you can go for an unpainted nightstand with a real vintage look.

  Your bed can even be a mix of wood like the stunning Hunter King Bed. It uses dark wood on the frame along with a plank headboard to create the perfect statement in a farmhouse bedroom.

  Don’t be afraid to mix and match wooden finishes and textures. Farmhouses tend to blend different elements, and it should be no different in your bedroom.

• Light Colors

  If you want to stay true to a relaxing and calming farmhouse theme, stay away from bright paint and furniture colors. Instead, rely on throw pillows and curtains for pops of color.

  Check out the Chateau Bedroom Set. Your eye will be instantly drawn to the bed, but the light color means the rest of the furniture will blend. Nothing overwhelms the eye, and the bed can remain the star.

• Sitting Area

  If your bedroom has the space, try to create a sitting or reading area. Farmhouse bedrooms should be a place to unwind and settle down. A leather recliner or a comfortable leather chair with a slightly worn look, would fit in perfectly with a farmhouse theme.

  If you can’t accommodate a recliner in the bedroom, look to accent chairs to create a seating area. One with a pattern, like the Quarry Hill Accent Chair, will pop out beautifully against lighter colors of the walls and bedroom furniture.

• Mix Pieces

  The farmhouse bedroom theme lends itself nicely to mixing pieces of furniture. The bed does not have to match the nightstands or dressers. You could pair the Vintage Rustic Dresser with a lighter color chest, like the one from Jasper. It’s not important that items match so much as stay true to the farmhouse style. Adding in pieces passed down from your familyis also another option.

Don’t be afraid to mix varied textures, materials and looks. Hints of metal and pops of color add to the comfy feel of a farmhouse styled bedroom. Just make sure you steer clear of anything glossy or an item that looks too “new.” You want to gravitate towards rustic and “well-loved.”
