Shopping for furniture doesn’t have to be an overwhelming experience. You might be used to traveling to several stores before you find the pieces you need in the right colors or at a price point that agrees with your budget. You might also know the hassle of negotiating with salespeople who may not have your best interests in mind. There’s another, better way to shop at Wayside Furniture & Mattress.

Located in Akron, we serve residents of northeast Ohio in Cleveland, Canton, Medina, Youngstown, and the surrounding areas. Discover the benefits of choosing one of the largest single-store furniture retailers over your typical big chain furniture stores.

When you go furniture shopping, you expect a wide selection. Wayside Furniture & Mattress boasts over 200,000 square feet of inventory – over five acres of furniture options. You’ll find pieces for the bedroom, living room, dining room, home office, and more. Discover furniture that matches your decor style and pieces from leading furniture brands.

If you can’t find the furniture you want in our selection, we offer custom and special order furniture to meet our customers’ needs. Wayside Furniture & Mattress understands it can be inconvenient to be without furniture while you wait for a custom order or backorder. This is why we go a step further with our free loaner program. You can get temporary furniture for your space until your custom order arrives.*

With our warehouse in Mogadore just minutes from the showroom in Akron, customers find our free pickup service convenient. You can also opt for white-glove delivery. The dedicated service department at our warehouse also offers parts and warranty services.

*Please note: The loaner program is not available for all purchases and delivery fees may apply.

At Wayside Furniture & Mattress, we don’t just want to make furniture shopping easy. We also want you to enjoy doing it. You might be moving into your first home or apartment or undergoing a massive renovation. Whatever the case, it’s easy to get overwhelmed quickly.

Wayside Furniture & Mattress understands this and encourages customers to take a break at our in-store cafe for lunch. The menu changes regularly and features freshly prepared, homemade items. Our customers love signature specials like our roasted chicken sandwich on homemade rosemary focaccia bread (and a secret red pepper sauce)! Even if you’re not hungry, consider getting a specialty drink like a latte or smoothie while you browse.

When the weather’s nice, it can be hard to stay inside shopping all day. That’s why Wayside Furniture & Mattress offers outdoor garden seating so you can stop and enjoy the sun and breeze. Lunch is served Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.*

While you might be excited about furniture shopping, your kids might be less so. Our playroom gives them a place to avoid boredom until it’s time to decide on the furniture for their rooms.

*Please note: The cafe may be closed occasionally for vacations and maintenance.

Speaking of kids – one of the most important steps for parents-to-be is getting a room prepared for their little one. Wayside Furniture & Mattress recognizes what an exciting time this is for families and celebrates with you by offering a free crib or a $100 gift card. You can browse our qualifying cribs and other furniture for babies’ rooms if you opt for the gift card.

At Wayside Furniture & Mattress, transparency is one of our core values. When we say a free crib, we mean it. The only qualification is that families must reside, and babies must be born, in northeast Ohio.

It’s not just our selection that makes Wayside Furniture & Mattress one of the largest single-store furniture retailers in the country. Since our doors opened in 1937, it’s also been our commitment to great customer service. Our customer service and sales teams are local, on-site, and available seven days a week. When you call us, you can trust that you will always speak to an experienced human, not a recording or bot. You can also have faith that our customer service and sales team will be transparent about your options, letting you know the pros and cons of the products you’re considering so you can make an informed decision based on the needs of your household.

We also offer our customers an everyday low-price philosophy. Customers are smart shoppers and often price-check the same products at different stores. Another reason we have so many repeat customers is they come to find we truly offer the best possible price on our products every single day. That means they don’t have to wait for a “sale” or negotiate with their salesperson… then a manager (and so on). In fact, oftentimes, a competitor’s 50% off “sale” price is still higher than our everyday low price! Plus, we provide a 30-day price protection guarantee to back it up: If you purchase something from us, but then bring in a competitor’s advertisement or sales receipt with the same product and service at a lower price (within a 100-mile radius), we will credit you 110% of the difference.

There are many corporately owned, franchised, or big-box furniture stores available to northeast Ohio shoppers – Ashley Furniture, Bob’s Furniture, West Elm, Pottery Barn, Value City, and Restoration Hardware, as well as countless e-commerce sites. But why shop at these chain furniture stores (most of them headquartered out of state) when you can experience a wider selection and personalized service at locally owned Wayside Furniture & Mattress? Any time you shop locally, your tax dollars—and ours—support our local community’s roads, schools, police/fire departments, parks, and more.

At Wayside Furniture & Mattress, we value our northeast Ohio community and prioritize supporting it—and ONLY it—not other locations in other towns like some chain stores. We are involved with a long list of events with our community partners. Some of the organizations and non-profits we support are The Summit FM, The Nightlight Cinema, and the Cleveland Seed Bank. We also facilitate seasonal efforts, such as our annual After Thanksgiving Giving Event, during which we have raised and matched millions of dollars for local organizations over the years. Basically, if it’s happening in northeast Ohio and supporting our community, we want to be there!

Pro tip: Customers may also be able to score VIP tickets to Guardians, Browns, and Cavaliers games by entering our sweepstakes throughout the year or following us on Instagram and Facebook for giveaways.

If you want to support your local community while outfitting your northeast Ohio home with furniture, shop at our locally-owned business over other chain furniture stores. Contact us today to discover more benefits of Wayside Furniture & Mattress.
