How to Update Your Living Room Wednesday, July 28, 2021 The living room is arguably the most important room in your house. It's the meeting place of your family, it's where you entertain guests, it's where you relax after a long day at work, etc. Give your living room new life by following these tips from Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana.

Sofa, Sectional, or Loveseat
A great way to update your living room is with a new sectional, sofa or loveseat! Something to keep in mind while shopping for your perfect reclining loveseat or sofa is the size of the space you have. Be sure the new furniture piece fits in the space that you have allotted.

You may want to take note of the fabric used in making the sofa as well. Some use upholstery, such as fabrics that are man-made or synthetic. Lighter couches hold stains easier, so if you have pets or children you may want to opt for a darker sofa. Sofas and loveseats made of leather or wicker can expertly pull your living room together. Also, consider the distance from the wall to make sure you have enough room to recline!

Entertainment System
If you are in the market for a new entertainment center or TV stand, you have come to the right place! Gathering your family to watch your favorite movie or the next binge-able television show after a long day can be one of life’s greatest pleasures. Whether you’re watching TV, listening to music, or just organizing your decorations and DVDs, nothing makes getting the most out of your living room appliances more than the right entertainment center.

Charles George - Employee Spotlight July 2021 Thursday, July 15, 2021 Charles George has been with Home Furniture for seven years. He served in sales for the first five years and currently serves as manager of our Julia Aubin location in Baton Rouge.

Before joining the Home Furniture Plus Bedding team, Charles’ experience of 16 years in senior management at a local competitor and his recognition of leadership abilities and promotions in the U.S. Army has benefitted his growth and success with both his family and
our Home Furniture family. Adds Charles, “Man, I love this company! I put God first in everything because while the goal may stay the same, we need to adjust our plans to fit God’s plan for us.”

Ross Dees, COO and District Manager of Home Furniture, adds, “Charles has been in retail sales and management his entire career. We are glad he is part of our leadership team at Home Furniture. He brings a lot of energy and passion for helping customers and leading the employees at the Julia Aubin location.”

To know Charles is to know of his love of trains! He became fascinated with them as a young boy and learned of them in detail from his father. One can easily see his enthusiasm and obsession with trains to this day as he proclaims, “My goal is to have a dedicated ‘Train Room’ in the house soon!”

After being honorably discharged from the military, Charles began his college education. At this point, he realized his passion and talent for working with and managing people while in sales. Plans changed, and Charles put his education on hold while he pursued a career in the world of retail.

Fast forward to just a couple of years ago, as a promise to his dying father, Charles committed to his goal of completing his college education. Achieving that goal, he now possesses a degree from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in General Studies with a concentration in Behavioral Science.

Additionally, when asked to share the “One Thing” that most of us may not know, Charles replies, “I’m an actual chef! I used to work as a chef at Cypress Bayou Casino for six years, and I love practicing my culinary skills when I can!”

When not working or cooking up something delicious, Charles enjoys hunting, fishing, and watching his kids play sports.

Born and raised in Sorrell, LA, Charles resides in Jackson, LA, with his wife, Wanda, and daughter, Bailey. Charles and Wanda also have another daughter, Andrea, and a son, Landyn.

Charles also adds, “You can’t motivate everyone, but what you can do is to surround yourself with those who are motivated because they are the ones who will share the same vision as you.”

Thank you, Charles, for sharing the vision of Home Furniture and shining the light for others to follow!

Best Mattresses & Pillows For Staying Cool at Night Tuesday, July 13, 2021 Here at Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana, we have plenty of both mattresses and pillows packed with cooling technology to keep you cool and comfortable on summer nights, and throughout the many other warm months we have throughout the year.

According to the Sleep Foundation, hot sleepers need cooling bedding to prevent overheating. This allows them to sleep comfortably, as temperature and sleep quality are connected. A cooling pillow can help draw heat away from the body and provide a cooling surface for hot sleepers. A cooling pillow will also wick away sweat, and provide an overall more comfortable sleep!

How to Choose Your Perfect Mattress or Pillow
Your sleep position is the main factor in choosing the right mattress or pillow.

Each sleep position affects your body in a different way, therefore, sleeping on the proper mattress is paramount in attaining a restful night’s sleep without aches and pains the next day.
