Microfiber Furniture Tops Fall Home Fashion Trends At Mealey's Furniture

Furniture World Magazine

Now that the weather is turning cooler, and the summer furniture is being cleaned up and put away until next spring, our thoughts naturally turn to the inside of our homes - and how we can make them a more comfortable and appealing place to spend the fall and winter “nesting” seasons. One of the hottest trends this season is the overwhelming popularity of microfiber furniture. “We saw it first in the fashion industry, where consumers really began to enjoy the comfort, durability, and ease of care with microfiber clothing,” said Kevin Mealey, co-owner of Mealey's Furniture, a family-owned retailer offering same-day delivery. “New trends come from everywhere. Home furniture fashions, in particular, follow clothing fashions,” said Mealey. “Today's microfiber furniture is far different than it was years ago. It looks and feels great - just like suede! Best of all, microfibers offer a great variety of saturated colors - reds and earth tones are the most popular with our customers.” At Mealey's Furniture's three locations, microfiber sofas and sectionals, chairs and recliners are flying out the door, outstripping non-microfiber furniture by a 3-to-1 margin. Dozens of different styles can be ordered in a wide variety of colors, including microfiber sofas, sectionals and chairs, reclining sofas and chaises, many with the popular “motion” pieces in which message and telephone centers and cushions drop down and convert into convenient tables. There are more than 150 pieces in stock for same-day delivery. Mealey's retail locations are on Lincoln Highway in Oxford Valley, PA; on Knights Road in Bensalem, PA; and on Route 38 in Moorestown, NJ.
