At Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, we’ve spent the better part of four decades helping shoppers find furniture that truly fits their lives and their living spaces. A big part of that mission is education. That’s why we regularly write transparent and informative brand reviews about the different furniture manufacturers we carry to help answer the top questions furniture shoppers are asking online and in our North Georgia furniture stores.
Today, we’re highlighting Jackson Furniture – an established, American-made manufacturer of upholstered seating that’s been around for nearly a century. Jackson is a big enough name in the furniture industry, perhaps you’ve heard the names Jackson Furniture Industries or Jackson Catnapper before. If so, then you’re already a little familiar with the brand.
Even so, you’re bound to have some unanswered questions. Is Jackson Furniture worth considering? What kind of furniture do they make and where do they make it? And most importantly, is Jackson Furniture a good fit for you and your home? Questions like these are precisely why we’re here.
Let’s dive into everything below. By the end, you’ll be one step closer to knowing whether a Jackson Furniture sofa, sectional, loveseat, chair or ottoman is right for you!
Who Makes Jackson Furniture?
Jackson Furniture products are made by parent company Jackson Furniture Industries, a family-owned furniture manufacturer headquartered in Cleveland, Tennessee with 10 factories across four states. Founded officially in 1933, the company has grown over almost a century into one of the largest upholstery manufacturers in the U.S. — and they’re still owned and operated by the same family three generations later.
Occasionally, you’ll see Jackson Furniture Industries referred to as Jackson Catnapper. That’s because Jackson Furniture makes up half of parent company Jackson Furniture Industries, with sister company Catnapper representing the other half. The Jackson Furniture brand specifically represents the company’s stationary upholstery catalog, while Catnapper exclusively manufactures reclining furniture. So, whether you’re shopping for something stationary like an armchair, loveseat or sectional sofa or the latest tech-savvy power recliner, reclining sofa or lift chair, Jackson Furniture Industries is the trusted name behind all of the above.
What Kind of Furniture Does Jackson Furniture Make?
Jackson Furniture specializes in stationary living room furniture with a focus on comfort, value, and style. As such, their catalog includes a variety of non-reclining sectionals, sofas, loveseats, oversized chairs, chair-and-a-halfs, accent chairs and ottomans.
Jackson’s designs span from traditional to transitional to casual contemporary but often include features like plush cushions, deep seats, and neutral / earth-tone color palettes – all made with practical use in mind. You’ll also find popular style elements like accent pillows, contrast stitching, chenille upholstery fabrics and more. Jackson designs many of their collections to be big, inviting, and built for relaxation, making them great for family rooms, media rooms, and open-plan living spaces.
Looking for motion seating or recliners instead? Jackson’s sister brand Catnapper makes power recliners, lift chairs, and reclining sofas and sectionals built for next-level comfort. And since Jackson and Catnapper are sister brands, many showrooms (including ours) will display both lines together, offering a wide range of stationary and motion seating for every kind of shopper.
Is Jackson Furniture Good Quality?
Jackson Furniture has a reputation in the industry for crafting solid entry-level to mid-range quality at a fair, competitive price – especially considering thei
r American construction. Depending on which Jackson furniture you pick, here are a few standout features you’re likely to find:
- Steel Tech™ durable frame reinforcement in many models
- Supportive Comfort Coil® seat cushions with over 50 coils per seat
- Gel-infused memory foam seat cushions for added pressure relief and cooling
- Precision-cut hardwood frames that are corner-blocked for greater durability
- Generously scaled oversized designs comfy for big & tall individuals and families
So, for those asking, “Is Jackson Furniture good quality?” we’d say yes, especially for typical residential use. While Jackson Furniture isn’t a high-end luxury or custom furniture brand, it certainly meets the demand from shoppers looking for affordable, stylish, well-built, comfortable seating, from a well-known, established brand.
Where Is Jackson Furniture Made?
Jackson Furniture is proudly made in the USA from domestically and globally-sourced parts. They manufacture their products at Jackson Furniture Industries’ own factories in Cleveland, TN, in addition to their other facilities in Mississippi, Texas, and Florida. By making a commitment to American-made production and their local communities, Jackson supports thousands of American jobs while simultaneously allowing the company greater control over the manufacturing process and inventory management.
Unlike other upholstery brands that rely exclusively on imported frames or offshore assembly, Jackson builds their furniture domestically. That’s not only a big plus for customers who want to buy American, it also typically means faster lead times and better quality control.
Is Jackson Furniture a Good Fit for Me?
Jackson Furniture just might be a great fit for you if:
- You’re looking for comfort-first living room furniture
- You want American-made quality at a competitive price
- You like roomy, plush seating with relaxed, casual styling
- You’re furnishing a family room, den, media room, or other practical living space
- You want to easily coordinate pieces with your existing Catnapper motion furniture.
That said, if your decorative tastes are very formal and super traditional, Jackson’s generally casual looks may not fit your preferred aesthetic. Their collections lean far more cozy on average. Also, remember that Jackson Furniture only makes stationary furniture, so if you want reclining functions, you’ll definitely need to look elsewhere.
Finally, while Jackson Furniture is well-built with some unique upgraded features that separate them from the pack, Jackson isn’t a top-tier, bespoke, or boutique furniture brand. So, if custom upholstery, luxury styles, or other premium features are a must-have, there are definitely higher-end options out there.
