#21 | Magnussen Home Furnishings
2023’s countdown begins with Magnussen Home Furnishings, one of our favorite furniture brands for bedroom, dining, living room and home office. With over nine decades of experience in the furniture industry, this family-owned Canadian company has gone from manufacturing occasional tables for their local market to becoming a global player in the industry.
Magnussen Home understands that both the look and the function of furniture are important to furniture shoppers. That’s why they only use solid wood, quality wood veneers and durable tried-and-true premium wood joinery. Additionally, keep an eye out for fun features that make Magnussen furniture both incredibly practical and a joy to use.
#20 | Bernhardt Furniture
Of all the brand names on our 2023 best sellers list, perhaps none carry the furniture heritage and pedigree of Bernhardt Furniture. That’s because Bernhardt is a name that’s been synonymous with luxury and iconic furniture design for over 130 years, earning them one of the longest-standing, best-established reputations for quality in the entire furniture industry. Over that span, Bernhardt Furniture has expanded from crafting simple white oak bedroom furniture to an extensive whole-home catalog of durable, upscale heirloom quality furniture for every room in your home.
In addition to Bernhardt’s fresh transitional to occasionally contemporary design aesthetic, their build quality and fit-and-finish are all top-notch. Premium features like buttery smooth top-grain leather, rich multi-layered finishes, and exotic woods are commonplace with Bernhardt. Interested in designing your own custom upholstery? Bernhardt can do that too! It’s as easy as picking your frame and then choosing from one of Bernhardt’s many high quality fabrics, performance fabrics, or premium leathers.
#19 | Behold Home
As a newer addition to our showroom, we’re excited to see Behold Home make our list of best selling furniture brands for 2023! From their three manufacturing centers in Mississippi, Behold Home strives to craft American-made upholstered furniture that provides customers with both comfort and excellent value.
Known primarily for their affordable upholstery, Behold Home Furniture offers shoppers a number of living room sets, from sectionals and sofas, to loveseats and chair-and-a-halfs. Here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, our shoppers absolutely gravitate towards Behold Home’s more transitionally-styled sofas and arm chairs.
#18 | Vaughan-Bassett Furniture
Vaughan-Bassett Furniture has a long history as America’s largest and perhaps best known manufacturer of all-wood home furniture. In business for over a century, Vaughan-Bassett has been crafting high quality furniture for bedrooms and dining spaces right here in America ever since. In addition to the Vaughan-Bassett brand, they also craft furniture under the premium Artisan & Post label, and are the exclusive manufacturing partner for Laurel Mercantile’s LMCo. Home furniture brand, designed by Erin and Ben Napier, stars of HGTV’s Home Town.
Every single piece of Vaughan-Bassett furniture is crafted exclusively from either solid wood or with high quality wood veneer over an all-wood substrate – mostly oak, ash, pine, maple, poplar, birch, beech and cherry wood. Vaughan-Bassett also has made buying local a priority as they locally source over 99% of their lumber from right here in the Southeast. They even have a one-for-one policy where they’ve committed to plant tree seedlings for every tree harvested.
#17 | Simon Li Furniture
Where most other brands on this list offer a variety of products, Simon Li Leather is a leather upholstery specialist. Hence the name! Every single piece is expertly crafted with quality top grain leather upholstery with a leather match on the sides and back to provide shoppers with greater affordability. Additionally, all frames are made with solid wood and furniture grade wood laminate that is nailed and/or screwed, glued and corner blocked at joints for superior durability.
Among our featured leather upholstery brands, Simon Li Furniture delivers one of the best values to our shoppers. Interested in a high-end comfort for a mid-level price? Check out a top grain leather sofa, loveseat, chair or ottoman from Simon Li at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet! Oh and don’t forget Simon Li’s latest offerings in our showroom – leather recliners and reclining sofas!
#16 | Fusion Furniture
Affordable furniture doesn’t have to be bland, poorly-made, or even imported. Fusion Furniture is proof of that. Based in the northern part of Mississippi long-known for furniture production, Fusion Furniture is a value-based manufacturer of stylish, American-made upholstery. As a relative newcomer into the upholstery industry, Fusion has been in business since 2009. Their vision has always been centered on crafting stationary upholstered seating at a value price.
Fusion Furniture makes up one half of Southern Furniture Industries, the other half being sister company Southern Motion. While Fusion focuses solely on producing stationary sectionals, sofas, loveseats, accent chairs and ottomans, Southern Motion strictly manufactures reclining and motion furniture.
#15 | Steve Silver Co.
Congrats to Steve Silver Co. for making our best sellers list two years running! Based in Texas, Steve Silver Co. has been importing stylish, affordable furniture to the American market since 1983. Steve Silver’s products include furniture for the entire home. From bedroom, to home office, to occasional tables and accents, to reclining seating for your living space, Steve Silver offers furniture shoppers quality pieces at a fair price.
Here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, we carry a variety of furniture from Steve Silver Company’s catalog. In particular, we love Steve Silver for their popular dining sets, and for providing our customers with a great balance of quality and value.
#14 | Kincaid Furniture
If we had to nail down what we love most about Kincaid Furniture, this motto from Kincaid puts it perfectly: “It’s been said that ‘things aren’t made the way they used to be,’ but at Kincaid, that’s not exactly true. At Kincaid Furniture, things are made the way they used to be, they may even be a little better.” Kincaid’s vision for handcrafted, hand-finished, better-than-the-good-ol’-days, heirloom quality furniture clearly resonates with our shoppers too, because Kincaid sits at #14 on our best sellers list for 2023.
Kincaid is a big name in the furniture industry, especially when it comes to whole-home furnishings. They’re one of the few furniture manufacturers that has truly mastered the art of crafting premium solid wood casegoods and premium fabric and leather upholstery for your living space. Whatever type of furniture you’re searching for, Kincaid Furniture is an excellent choice thanks to their robust build quality, feature sets, and attention to detail. Additionally, since all Kincaid’s upholstered seating is made right next door in North Carolina, their custom upholstery program offers our shoppers faster than usual industry lead-times on custom order sectionals, sofas, loveseats, accent chairs and ottomans.
#13 | Woodstock Select
Did you catch our big announcement last year about Woodstock Select? Designed in partnership with some of the top furniture manufacturers around the world, Woodstock Select products exist to provide our customers with stylish, high quality, and high value furniture options. It seems that our rapidly-growing, exclusive, in-house furniture and mattress brand is already turning heads! We couldn’t be happier to see Woodstock Select crack 2023’s best selling list of furniture brands.
The Woodstock Select catalog is expanding all the time with new products being added frequently, so don’t miss it! Currently, you’ll find reclining furniture, sofas, sectionals, loveseats, recliners, lift chairs and more under the Woodstock Select banner, along with mattresses and adjustable bases. The real customer favorite though? You've got to see, hear, and feel our brand new immersive audio seating from Woodstock Select!
#12 | Soft Line
Despite being one of the lesser known names on this list of best sellers, Soft Line is a hidden gem in the world of leather upholstery. Soft Line (also known as Softline, Soft Line Furniture or Soft Line America) is the American division of Italian leather upholstery manufacturer Soft Line S.p.a., a little known maker of authentic Italian leather sofas and seating. Okay, but what makes Soft Line Furniture so popular with our customers?
To start with, every single piece in Soft Line’s catalog is benchmade by skilled artisans, the old-fashioned way, in Italy, from real Italian leather. Believe it or not, this is exceedingly rare, even in the world of Italian leather sofas. Soft Line even tans their own leather at their leather tannery in Italy’s historic Vicenza Leather District! If you want the luxurious look and feel of an authentic, handcrafted, aniline or semi-aniline Italian leather sofa, sectional, loveseat or chair, Soft Line has exactly what you’re looking for. Better yet, you won’t over-pay just because there’s a big designer name on the tag.
#11 | Flexsteel
Flexsteel is yet another furniture brand that has proven itself and rightfully earned consumer trust (and its place on this list) over time. With over a century in the furniture business, Flexsteel is best known for their upholstered seating, both stationary and reclining. Our shoppers love that Flexsteel is positioned right at the intersection of quality, affordability, and durability. In other words, Flexsteel is a mid-tier brand that is high quality, yet still accessible to most shoppers.
As for durability, we can’t talk about Flexsteel without discussing their namesake and foundational design feature – Flexsteel’s patented blue steel spring technology. Unlike almost every other upholstered seating manufacturer that uses sinuous spring, Pirelli webbing, or 8-way hand-tied spring coils for suspension, Flexsteel’s blue steel spring is entirely unique and original. Essentially, a flat piece of high-tensile steel is flexed and riveted to the frame providing unmatched support and durability. After all, there’s a reason why Flexsteel is able to offer customers an industry-leading manufacturer’s warranty package.
#10 | HomeStretch
Cracking the top 10 on our best selling furniture brands of 2023 is HomeStretch. As their name sort of implies, HomeStretch is completely dedicated to crafting reclining furniture for your home. HomeStretch has been helping folks stretch their legs by crafting well-built recliners, reclining loveseats, reclining sofas, reclining sectionals, and reclining lift chairs since 2011. This includes both power reclining and manual reclining models.
Crafted with pride in their home state of Mississippi, HomeStretch offers prospective furniture shoppers American-made reclining furniture that delivers top-tier comfort at a competitive price. Due to their high build quality and durable materials, HomeStretch is one of the few manufacturers in the industry to offer a lifetime warranty on all reclining mechanisms. Congrats again to HomeStretch on yet another year on our best sellers list!
#9 | Craftmaster Furniture
Much like HomeStretch above, North Carolina-based Craftmaster Furniture specializes in their own niche of the furniture market. They really commit themselves to just two things – quality seating for your living space and the upholstery fabric that wraps it. As a result, it makes total sense that Paula Deen chose Craftmaster to be the exclusive upholsterer for her popular Paula Deen Home Collection.
Craftmaster’s biggest draw is the over 1,200 custom upholstery fabrics they offer, which includes over 150 performance fabrics from Family Life, Revolution Fabrics and more! In fact, Craftmaster has more custom fabrics available than anyone else in our Design Center. Looking for something more immediate without waiting for custom? Don’t worry! We’ve got a full lineup of stocked Craftmaster sectionals, sofas, accent chairs and loveseats available for sale. Between their custom order and in stock items, Craftmaster continues to make our top sellers list year after year!
#8 | West Coast Collection
Much like the Woodstock Select above at #13, the West Coast Collection is a Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet exclusive. What does that mean for shoppers? It means that we’re the only place in Georgia that you’ll be able to find these comfy, oversize, fashion-forward sectionals, sofas, loveseats, chairs and ottomans!
The West Coast Collection is the result of our collaboration with a small family-owned furniture manufacturer in California that has been crafting upholstered living room seating since the 1940s. Every piece of the West Coast Collection is proudly made in America, with all-wood frames, locally-sourced lumber, and reinforced hardwood stress points that are corner-blocked, nailed, and glued for maximum durability. True to its name, West Coast Collection’s style is chill and relaxed, casual and on-trend. For those that truly want that one-of-a-kind look, shoppers can choose from a number of frames, cushions and fabrics to customize their own West Coast Collection living room.
#7 | aspenhome
aspenhome is another customer favorite returning from last year’s best sellers list. From their humble beginnings as a small family business making TV stands, entertainment centers, and other media furniture in the early 1980s, aspenhome has blown up and now includes occasional tables, home office collections, bedroom furniture, and dining in their extensive catalog.
Our favorite thing about aspenhome? Here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet we love aspenhome’s broad style options and thoughtful, practical design elements. You can always count on aspenhome to deliver extra flourishes like hidden compartments, lift-top tables with storage, on-board USB and A/C power outlets, and premium construction methods.
#6 | Catnapper / Jackson Furniture
Jackson Furniture is a family-owned upholstery manufacturer that’s been making seating in the American Southeast for nearly a century. Catnapper is their even better-known brand of recliners and reclining furniture. Between these two brands, they make both reclining and stationary upholstered seating at an affordable price – from arm chairs and recliners, to loveseats, to sofas, to sectionals.
Their most unique product features are found just beneath the surface, inside their seats. Unlike other manufacturers with more traditional cushion design, Jackson and Catnapper include layers of Comfort-Gel gel-infused memory foam over their pocketed Comfort-Coil cushion cores. This provides a comfy combination of cooling comfort and support. Additionally, Jackson’s stationary seating features their SteelTech Framing which integrates tubular steel and steel stretchers to make the frame even more sturdy. Congrats to both of these brands for another year on our best sellers list!
#5 | International Furniture Direct (IFD)
Year after year, International Furniture Direct continues to be one of our top two or three best selling manufacturers of casegoods (i.e. non-upholstered furniture made with hard materials) for bedroom, dining, and living spaces. In fact, this is the second year in a row that IFD has come in at #5 overall on our countdown of best selling furniture brands! But what makes IFD so popular with our shoppers?
International Furniture Direct is best known for their rustic aesthetic, solid wood construction, their use of exotic tropical woods, and for their fun, versatile and eclectic designs. By owning their own factories and running an efficient operation, they pride themselves on making sustainably-sourced, high quality, handcrafted solid wood furniture that is both beautiful and surprisingly affordable.
#4 | Parker Living / Parker House Furniture
Much like Catnapper and Jackson Furniture above, Parker House and Parker Living are sister brands that combined to make it to #4 on 2023’s best sellers list. Parker House Furniture is a respected whole-home American furniture brand that’s been in continual business since the 1940s. As for Parker Living, it is Parker House’s brand of beautiful upholstered furniture – particularly seating for your living space. Between Parker House and Parker Living, they’ve got your entire home furnishing needs covered!
So, what makes them so popular with furniture shoppers? Both Parker Living and Parker House are style-conscious and passionate about providing quality craftsmanship at a value. More specifically, here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, we love Parker Living’s premium leather upholstery and Parker Home’s sleek home office and entertainment options.
#3 | Liberty Furniture (Our Best Selling Casegood Brand)
Time for the Top 3 furniture brands of 2023! Unique to this list, Liberty Furniture Industries is a local Atlanta, Georgia original. From their small beginnings in an old West Atlanta warehouse in the early 1990s, Liberty Furniture exploded onto the scene to become a major player in the casegoods business – including furniture like tables and storage solutions for dining rooms, desks and home office furniture, and bedroom sets.
Liberty offers furniture shoppers a wide variety of styles and looks. This pairs perfectly with their sturdy all-wood construction, premium materials, and competitive pricing. Whether your aesthetic is modern farmhouse, rustic cottage, urban, eclectic, or anything in between, they’ve got something just right for your bedroom, dining, home office, or living space. Oh, and new for 2024, Liberty is breaking into the upholstery market too, so be sure to check out their sofas, chairs, reclining furniture and more!
#2 | England Furniture (Our Best Selling Upholstery Brand)
The runner-up for our best selling furniture brands of 2023 is another perennial customer favorite – England Furniture! Of all the upholstery brands we carry, England Furniture was the uncontested favorite with our shoppers. The same as last year!
England Furniture has been in business since 1964, and has been operating as an independent division within La-Z-Boy since 1995. In that time, England has risen to become one of the most well-established and respected makers of American-made upholstered seating – from accent chairs, loveseats, sofas, and sectionals, to recliners and reclining sofas. England Furniture marries great build materials and quality with competitive, accessible pricing.
Yet another place England really shines is with their impressive and efficient custom order program. Made-to-order in East Tennessee from over 200 frames and 500+ fabrics and leathers (including popular performance fabrics like Revolution and LiveSmart), England boasts one of the quickest turnaround and delivery times in the upholstery industry. As such, they are a vital part of Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet's Design Center.
#1 | Ashley Furniture (Our Best Selling Whole-Home Furniture Brand)
May we have a drum roll please? Without further ado, we present our best selling furniture brand of 2023 – Ashley Furniture! Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, this is a brand you’ve likely heard of. Including a multitude of brands themselves (Signature Design by Ashley, Benchcraft, Millennium by Ashley, and Outdoor by Ashley), parent company Ashley Furniture Industries is the world’s largest furniture maker. Given their buying power and vast supply chain, Ashley is able to deliver shoppers a ton of value.
Ashley’s furniture offerings largely range from entry-level to mid-tier quality. As a result, we love that Ashley Furniture offers shoppers budget-friendly options that give them a great value for their dollars.
