Is your furniture “Made in America?”

Posted by Nicole, BiOH Polyols Marketing Manager on March 4, 2011

If you have been keeping up with the news lately, you might have noticed a new challenge by ABC World News called Made in America. Part of the feature challanged one Texas family to empty their home of all foreign made products and replace them by purchasing  products “Made in America.”

This feature gave exposure to many furniture and bedding industry partners who manufacture American made products every day and who also use BiOH® polyols in their cushioning. One company, Harden Furniture was featured in a video segment talking about how they are responsibly managing the forests that they obtain for their wood products.

Watch their video:

Other furniture manufacturers listed were:

• LEE
• TLS by Design
• La-Z-Boy
• BKIND3

  

Bedding manufactures Sealy and Simmons were listed as well.  

One common mistake consumers can often make is thinking that domestically made furniture and appliances cost more money. This segment shows consumers where to purchase products “Made in America” and how they could even save money by doing so! For more information, you can also visit the Made in the USA Foundation.
