Updated November 5, 2026. Next update: after the November Consumer Price Index release.
These furniture price statistics come straight from official U.S. government data, not surveys or sales pitches. The big story for 2026: furniture prices are falling while almost everything else gets more expensive. In the year to September 2026, furniture and bedding prices fell 2.4%, while overall consumer prices rose 3.7%.
Below you’ll find the key numbers, two free charts you can share, furniture store sales by year, and our own checked data on Black Friday sale dates, return policies and mattress sleep trials. Every number links to its source.

Furniture Price Statistics: Prices vs Inflation (2019–2026)
Furniture prices shot up during the pandemic furniture boom, faster than prices overall. They peaked in 2022, then started falling as demand cooled and supply chains recovered. Overall prices kept climbing, so furniture is now a much better deal relative to everything else than it was in 2022.
| September | Furniture & bedding (index, 2019 = 100) | All items (index, 2019 = 100) |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 100.0 | 100.0 |
| 2020 | 100.9 | 101.4 |
| 2021 | 112.1 | 106.8 |
| 2022 | 123.4 | 115.6 |
| 2023 | 116.8 | 119.9 |
| 2024 | 114.0 | 122.8 |
| 2025 | 118.4 | 126.5 |
| 2026 | 115.5 | 131.2 |
How to read this: 100 is September 2019 prices. A furniture index of 115.5 means furniture costs 15.5% more than in 2019; the all-items index of 131.2 means prices overall are up 31.2%. Data: BLS series CUUR0000SEHJ and CUUR0000SA0.
Furniture Price Statistics by Category: What Got Cheaper in 2026?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks two main furniture groups. Both are cheaper than a year ago, but bedroom furniture has fallen further:
| Category | 1-year change (Sep 2025 → Sep 2026) | Change since 2022 peak | Change since 2019 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Furniture and bedding (all) | −2.4% | −6.4% | +15.5% |
| Bedroom furniture | −3.7% | −6.3% | +6.7% |
| Living room, kitchen and dining room furniture | −0.7% | −4.0% | +23.6% |
| All items (overall inflation) | +3.7% | +13.5% | +31.2% |
Living room furniture (sofas, sectionals, recliners and dining sets) is still well above 2019 prices, so it’s where sale timing matters most. See the best time to buy furniture and our Black Friday sofa deals guide.
US Furniture Store Sales by Year
Americans spent heavily on furniture in 2021 and 2022, then pulled back. Sales at furniture and home furnishings stores peaked at $136.8 billion in 2022, fell for two years, and edged up to $127.3 billion in 2025.
| Year | Furniture & home furnishings store sales | Change vs prior year |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | $116.8 billion | — |
| 2020 | $109.2 billion | −6.5% |
| 2021 | $135.2 billion | +23.8% |
| 2022 | $136.8 billion | +1.2% |
| 2023 | $129.8 billion | −5.1% |
| 2024 | $125.0 billion | −3.7% |
| 2025 | $127.3 billion | +1.9% |
These are sales at stores whose main business is furniture and home furnishings (Census category NAICS 442). They don’t include furniture sold by Amazon, Walmart or other general retailers, so total furniture spending is higher. Source: U.S. Census Bureau retail trade data.

Furniture Return Policies and Sleep Trials Compared
A low price only helps if you can send the piece back. Return windows at big furniture stores vary hugely, from 48 hours to a year:
Mattress sleep trials range from 90 nights (Tempur-Pedic) to 365 nights (Nectar, Saatva). See the full comparison in our Black Friday mattress deals guide, and how to return furniture bought online.
Coming in December: Were Black Friday Furniture Deals Real?
We’re tracking the prices of popular sofas, mattresses and bed frames from early November through Cyber Monday. In early December we’ll add how many “deals” were actually lower than their early-November price. Until then, use our guide to spotting fake furniture sales.
What These Furniture Price Statistics Mean for Shoppers
- Prices are already lower than last year. Combine that with a holiday sale and you can pay noticeably less than in 2022.
- Compare against the early-November price. A “was” price isn’t proof of a deal; the price you saw a few weeks ago is.
- Living room furniture is still the priciest category versus 2019. That’s where waiting for Black Friday or Presidents’ Day pays off most.
- Check the return window before you buy. A cheap sofa you can’t return is a risk, not a deal.
