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:

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.

Home Furniture Continues Strong Support of St. Jude Sunday, January 31, 2021 St Jude Children's Hospital is embraced by Home Furniture Plus Bedding and it's employees.

How to Style Your Living Room with Accent Chairs Wednesday, October 14, 2020 Your living room could quite possibly be the centerpiece of your home. This is where the bonding happens.

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.”

5 Fall Decor Tips For Your Home Wednesday, September 30, 2020

The smell of pumpkin spice and crisp leaves signal the arrival of fall. Every season offers a fun excuse to refresh your home – even if you aren’t hauling boxes of decorations down from your attic. A few simple swaps of color can make a big difference! For fall, that means adding in cozy textures, rich colors, finding a perfect coffee mug, and of course, plenty of pumpkins. Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana is here with 5 fall decor tips for your home.

Fall Decor Tip One: Festival Napkins
Incorporating rich purples and deep pinks will help to brighten up your decor and set it apart from the rest. These napkins can be set on your table throughout the season and will draw the eye to your impressive dining setup.

Fall Decor Tip Two: Eye-Catching Throw Pillows
Swapping out your throw pillows with earthy tones and soft textures are sure to revamp your decor for the fall season. We recommend swapping out your throw pillows all year round for a refreshing look!

Fall Decor Tip Three: Cozy Throw Blankets
Plaid is a cold-weather classic, but a little goes a long way. An oversize gray plaid blanket is the perfect practical layer for a bed, chair, or sofa.

Fall Decor Tip Four: Natural Fall Living Room Decor
Some of the best fall decor ideas come from nature. Hit the pumpkin patch to select pumpkins and gourds in various shapes and colors, and use them to accessorize your coffee table, fireplace mantel, and other living room furniture. For another quick dose of fall color, clip branches of changing leaves and place inside simple vases.

Fall Decor Tip Five: Fall Living Room Color Scheme
Orange, yellow, red, and brown are classic autumn hues, but a splashy accent color can make your fall living room decor stand out even more. Cool colors, such as blue or green, make these warm tones appear brighter and more vibrant. A collection of colorful fall leaves, for example, looks even more stunning with displayed inside blue glass vases.

Welcome Fall with Home Furniture Plus Bedding

4 New Sofa Trends for Your Living Room Sunday, September 13, 2020

When it comes to living room decor, one of the most important components is your sofa. It’s the first thing your eye is drawn to as you enter the room, and factors such as design, size, and comfort require several hours of consideration. You should focus your attention on a sofa style that will last. While some styles of couches, such as velvet, may be very popular at the moment, but there are some trends you should keep an eye on. At Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Lousiana, we’re here to help you explore four new sofa trends for your living room.

Reclining Sofa Sets
If you’re eager to head home after a long day of work, kick your feet up, and relax, then a reclining sofa set is for you. These sets come in two styles: power-activated and manual. Power-activated recliners plugin and allow you to recline with the press of a button, while manual reclining sets can recline with a lever. These sets are great for multiple recliners at once!

Barton Sofa Sets
Barton sofa sets offer a bright, sophisticated feel to any home. Some even offer reversible-back seat cushions for a seasonal change-up! These plush and attractive sets are sure to provide endless comfort for every moment.

Sectional Sofas
The modern sectional sofa can be versatile in several ways. A sectional sofa can fill a living room with a comfortable space to sit, relax, and socialize. Sectional sofas can fit five or more people, and they’re great to have for game nights or to watch movies with the family.

Sectionals are common in recreation rooms or living rooms, and they are normally large and comfortable. There are some that have more modern designs, while others have that comfy couch vibe.

Chaise Sofas
If you want something a little more on the sculptural side and have more room for multiple sofas in your living room, consider the chaise. Chaise sofas are gaining more and more traction nowadays, and they make an excellent addition to your living room as an accent piece or lounge.

3 Unique Ways To Refresh Your Bedroom Monday, August 3, 2020

There is no better feeling than setting foot in a bedroom that brings you comfort at the end of a long and weary workday. Refreshing your bedroom, a place where you begin and end each day, adds both energy and beauty to your life and home all year round. At Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana, we are thrilled to offer on-trend and stylish pieces to make your bedroom more of a sanctuary. Allow us to provide you with three unique ways to refresh your bedroom.

Look One: Seaside Cottage
This light and airy look is among the most popular styles and is exceptionally easy to achieve. By adding more colors, energizing accent pieces, and nature-inspired decor, your space will instantly feel neater, fresher, and all the more lovely and relaxing. Close your eyes, listen to the ocean, and transport yourself to the seashore.

Look Two: Desert Blush
Take design inspiration from dusty desert hues, and don’t be afraid to add a dash of pink here and there. To accomplish this look, a bright headboard draws the eye to exactly where you want to rest – your bed. Echo the smoky tones of the desert with a new rug that will feel great beneath your feet the moment you kick off your shoes. Add a few pops of color with attractive throw pillows, and you’ll be ready for bed in no time.

Look Three: Noir
If you have a flair for drama, luxe fabrics and saturated colors are for you. This style can sometimes seem a little too dark and moody, so a light dresser or bedding is sure to help brighten up your space. A dark metal headboard, gold-painted accent shelf, and plush bedding will provide delicate detailing that doesn’t overwhelm. Tie it all together with some moody lighting, and you’ll feel as if you’re in the hills of Hollywood.

The most-used room in your home is tricky to just simply keep clean. The key to organizing your kitchen is setting a foundation for success. A cute and durable rolling cart adds a significant amount of storage and can easily transition from dinner preparation to cocktails. You can also opt for smaller stylish solutions, such as slim canisters for dry goods or an adjustable spice rack to accommodate your ever-growing collection.

Organizing Your Laundry Room

Surprise surprise, the laundry room can actually be an enjoyable room in your home! You can corral your cleaning supplies with heavy-duty shelving units that are also stylish and pleasant to look at. A chic folding shelf can double as decor and hold your hampers, cute photos, or plants to brighten up the room.

Organizing Your Home Office

Your home office can be functional without reminding you too much of your cubicle. Kick things off with an attractive desk that invites you to settle down and be as productive as possible. A shelf, bookcase, or even a TV stand can serve as the perfect place to store loose papers or wires from your laptop. If your desktop is a mess, small 3-drawer organizers can collect everything from outgoing mail to books – and keep your office looking stylish.

How To Update Your Home Office Wednesday, July 1, 2020

Has your commute shortened from a 30-minute drive to a 30-second walk from the bed to the couch? Most of us have found ourselves working remotely in the past few months, and unfortunately, we have made no significant move to spruce up our home office. If you’re looking to create a comprehensive workspace that jumpstarts your productivity, Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana is here to help with some tips and tricks on how to update your home office.

Invest in a Comfortable Desk Chair
When you transition from the couch to a stylish, comfortable desk chair, your aching back is sure to thank you! When searching for your new desk chair, it’s important to find one that provides support and looks good doing it. Be sure to test out your desk chair before you decide. Another tip, don’t let your desk chair be the only chair in the room. A chaise lounge or comfortable couch is perfect to relax on when you’re in need of a break!

Choose Calming Colors
Keep the color palette calming with whites and neutrals and bring in some cheerful accent tones like greens and yellows to create a productive work environment.

Organization is Key
When updating your home office, organization is extremely important. Rather than purchasing a boring old file cabinet for your office, we recommend you invest in a stylish storage cabinet to keep your important files.

Find a Functional Yet Stylish Desk
If you’re going to be working at your desk day after day, it’s important to find one that is pleasing to the eye, functional, and ultimately boosts your productivity. Whether you require a desk with plenty of drawers to hold your various papers or something sleeker, we’re sure to have what you’re looking for.
