Welcome to the first of five installments in our third annual ranking of the Home News Now 125 Furniture and Bedding Retailers. The 125 listing is based on estimated 2023 furniture and bedding sales in the U.S. and includes both brick-and-mortar stores and e-tailers. Accessories, rugs and other revenue sources are not included. All sales figures are estimated in millions of dollars and were compiled from a variety of sources including retailer input, publicly held company SEC filings, news releases, store websites and industry news reports. In cases where the retailer did not respond to multiple inquiries, the estimates are based on 2023 sales growth figures for furniture and home furnishings stores compiled by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Rent-to-own retailers were excluded from the ranking.
HNN’s 125 had a combined $77.8 billion in estimated furniture and bedding sales for last year, down about 5% from an estimated $81.9 billion in 2022. The numbers were adjusted to eliminate double counting of sales that appear more than once on this list. (Think Ashley Furniture’s retail store network and the numerous Ashley independent dealers in the ranking.) The list includes estimated results from nearly 23,500 brick-and-mortar stores, several online-only resources such as Amazon and Wayfair, and more than a dozen specialty bedding retailers and bedding e-tailers.

In November, Z Gallerie began going-out-of-business sales at its stores, closing all by the end of the year. In January 2024, Fort Worth-based home textile and furniture e-commerce company, Karat Home, purchased Z Gallerie’s e-commerce assets out of bankruptcy for a little over $7 million.
