Here at Baumgartner’s, we’ve talked about the typical “grandpa recliner” in our blogs before. It’s big and comfy and what you imagine when you think of a recliner. While there’s nothing wrong with the grandpa chair, it doesn’t fit in every style of home. Luckily, there are other options that don’t look like recliners, allowing you the comfort to put your legs up and fit the style of your home. Here are our three steps to pick out the perfect piece of furniture for your home.

Pick a space

Before you pick anything else, pick the space (or spaces) you would like a recliner. Maybe you want something comfier to watch movies in for your living room, whereas a sturdier chair could help you focus to read books or do work in the bedroom or study room. A Baumgartner’s associate can help you identify the best type of chair to help you feel the most comfortable in your space. After all, the goal is to help you be completely satisfied and comfortable with your new piece of furniture in your home.

2. Pick a style

As aforementioned, recliners don’t come in just one style. Before you go shopping, decide what type of chair might look good with your existing home decor. Or if you can’t imagine what a good style would be, a Baumgartner’s associate can help you find the perfect piece. Research the different types of styles and the differences, like sleek, pub style or wingback. High-leg and short-leg recliners can look like typical chairs but have the comfort of the footrest. This wide array of options allow for a recliner to fit in any room of the home.

3. Pick a design

We live in a time nowadays where there are limitless amounts of selection for everything. If you like a shirt, it comes in eight different colors and patterns. The same goes for furniture. After you identify your space and pick your style, you can customize your chair however it will fit best in those places. The possibilities are endless, especially with Baumgartner’s design center covers which allows you to look at hundreds of different styles and patterns before you buy your chair. This ensures you never have to choose between a style you love and a design you love — you can have the best of both worlds.

At Baumgartner’s, we can assist you with all of these steps to ensure you are completely happy with your purchase.

The old adage used to be, “if you have a bad back, buy a firm mattress”.  That isn’t always the case these days.  You want to buy something that makes your back feel good, whether it’s a firm or a softer type.  Back pain or overall pain in general, is usually relieved by good circulation of blood and the relief of pressure points. There are many different firmness levels that can achieve this. The key is to lay down for a period of time that allows your body to get the true feeling of it. If you’re going in with no previous pain issues, just pick what you think will help you feel the most rested.

3. Shop every eight years

Chances are, you replace most things in your house much sooner than you replace your sleep set. It can be easy to forget about one of the items you use most, but mattresses become worn down like everything else — especially when you spend one third of your life on it! Getting a new mattress can ensure more restful nights without worn down and lumpy spots.

Baumgartner’s Furniture

The History

Our furniture store is a family-owned, locally-operated business serving Mid-Missouri for over six decades.  George Baumgartner founded the business in 1949 and since then, we have remained committed to serving our clients with a personal approach in mind.  For four generations, Baumgartner’s has offered hometown hospitality to our customers.

The Baumgartner’s Furniture story begins in mid-1940s, when Emmett Baumgartner quit his job at the shoe factory in Fulton, Missouri to open a gas station in Kingdom City with his son, George.  Although George was only 18 at the time, he possessed a strong entrepreneurial spirit. So before long, the father-son team expanded their business operation to include towing and taxi services, and eventually they opened a restaurant adjacent to the station. During this time, they also started to dabble in furniture sales and even sold the first television sets in the area. However, when an 18-wheeler plowed through the front of the restaurant, they decided to take the business in a new direction. George left to open up a furniture store in Auxvasse.  Once the store was up and running, Emmett closed the gas station and joined his son.

After years of serving customers out of our Auxvasse store in 1999, Mattress World By Baumgartner’s was added in Columbia to offer more products and services to our customers.  Currently, our Columbia store offers a La-Z-Boy Gallery along with a state-of-the-art mattress gallery.  Our pledge was, and continues to be, providing quality products and unparalleled service.

Currently, Baumgartner’s Furniture has two stores in Auxvasse and Columbia, Missouri.
