Moving into your first home is an exciting time. Your home is a place that you can make your own. No more putting up with someone else’s style — it’s your turn to decorate!
There’s so much to do when you move into a new home that it can be tricky to know where to start, which furniture pieces to buy, how much to spend, and how much to save.
Here are the top three items that our interior decorators believe you should have in your first home. (Hint: quality is key!)
1. A Good Quality Mattress
We all know how important getting a good night’s sleep is to living a happy and healthy life. This is one area where you don’t want to skimp.
There are lots of mattresses on the market to choose from, but Serta and Kingsdown are two of the highest-quality brands. With pocket coils, specialty foams and fibres, and support that conforms to you, you will get the rest you need with these options.
Kingsdown has a patented bedMATCH™ diagnostic system that can help determine the best mattress for optimal support — visit our showroom to test it out!
2. A Good Quality Sofa
The sofa is one piece of furniture that gets a lot of wear and tear from daily use. Typically the largest piece of furniture in your living room, your sofa should be well-made to withstand daily life — no one wants to see a ripped, scratched, or sagging sofa in the centre of your new home.
While you will spend more money on a quality sofa, you will reap the reward because it will last much longer and look better in the long-term.
Sofas come in all shapes and sizes, and some can be customized to suit your specific design taste. From condo-sized to oversized and sofabeds to sectionals, there’s something for every new home.
Brentwood makes gorgeous sofas that will stand the test of time in both wear and style. Superstyle is another Canadian brand that offers high-quality sofas that range from traditional to casual.
3. A Good Quality Dining Set
While you may not always be hosting a large group of people, or trying to impress the in-laws, you do want to have a dining area that looks nice, stands the test of time, and offers you the flexibility to seat more than two people.
A dining table and chair set is a bit of an investment, but it’s one that will last — and if you decide on wood, you can refinish the surface if your colour scheme or style changes.
Adding a dining set that incorporates a bench along one side will also offer you increased seating and flexibility to host larger groups.
If your dining table doesn’t come with chairs, click here to read some expert tips on choosing the perfect dining chairs for your home.
Your first home deserves some love, so visit us at Smitty’s and we’ll help you find the best furniture for you. |

Welcome to 2018! It’s a new year full of new experiences, new ideas, and new improvements.
The new year gives you a fresh start — like hitting the reset button. It’s a time when many of us make resolutions, where we endeavour to improve our diet, our exercise regimen, or make changes to better our lives and our well-being. One of the best resolutions you can make this new year is to improve your sleep.
Getting a good night’s sleep is one of the most effective ways to improve your overall health.
The Benefits of Good Sleep
Is my mattress worn out?
Many people don’t realize when their mattress has reached the end of its life. Sleeping on a worn out mattress can result in poor sleep, pain, and discomfort.
Here are some quick questions to ask yourself to determine if your mattress is worn out:
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the time has come to shop for a new mattress.
What kind of mattress should I get?
There are many considerations to take into account when shopping for a new mattress and everyone has different needs. Here are some key considerations:
There are many different kinds of mattresses on the market and it’s important to have answers to these key questions before you go mattress shopping.
What brand of mattress is the best?
We understand that you want the best mattress for the best sleep, but finding the “best” mattress brand is definitely a personal decision. Any website that tries to tell you that they offer the “best” mattress on the market should send up a red flag.
There are all kinds of mattresses to choose from including: eco-friendly, custom, adjustable, memory foam, spring coil, layered coil, gel-infused foam, pillow tops, and more. There are unique benefits to all of these types of mattresses — the key is determining which one is right for you.
At Smitty’s, we recommend a variety of mattress brands like Serta, Kingsdown, and Zedbed. We are proud to offer brands that have been recognized for their quality construction and excellent warranties — and then we go above and beyond by offering our 30-Day Comfort Guarantee for mattress and base sets.

Adjustable beds are the latest, and greatest, advancement in mattress technology.
For many people, the idea of an adjustable bed makes them think of a hospital bed — but that is far from the reality. The new adjustable mattresses are incredibly comfortable, ergonomic, easy to use, and they will improve your overall health and well-being.
Here is a list of some of the benefits of switching to an adjustable bed:
Reduce Pains & Aches
If you have back pain, suffer from spinal cord compression issues, or experience circulation concerns, then you will benefit from an adjustable bed.
By elevating various parts of your body you will reduce pressure on those areas which cause you pain. By alleviating pressure you will improve circulation, reduce pains and aches, and achieve a more comfortable and sustained sleep.
Reduce Digestive Issues
If you experience acid reflux, heartburn, or indigestion, then you will benefit from an adjustable bed.
If you elevate your upper body by 6-8”, you will find that your stomach is better able to retain acids compared with lying flat. A calmer inside will allow for a better quality of sleep.
Reduce Snoring & Asthma
If you, or your partner, are kept awake by snoring or difficulty breathing due to asthma, then you will benefit from an adjustable bed.
By adjusting the incline of the mattress you will find that your passageways clear and allow for increased air and oxygen flow into your body. Improved breathing will mean that your heart won’t be working so hard and your body will be able to relax and achieve a better quality of sleep.
Improve General Comfort
If you, or your partner, are tired of constantly shifting and adjusting pillows to get comfortable to read or relax in bed, then you will benefit from an adjustable bed.
The user-friendly technology will allow you, at the touch of a button, to get completely comfortable. Features include programmable positions, wireless remotes, headboard brackets, massage systems, USB charging ports, and more! |

Serta is the number one mattress manufacturer in the United States and a leading manufacturer worldwide. They pride themselves on being the manufacturer of the World’s Best Mattress — and it is a title that they have worked hard to deserve!
The History of Serta
Serta’s proud history began in 1931, when an assembly of independent mattress manufacturers joined forces, recognizing that they needed name brand recognition to compete with emerging national companies. The assembly set guidelines for the products they would make and market, and Serta was formed as a company in 1933
Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Serta developed into a nationally recognized brand, backed by a network of local companies dedicated to the highest quality and innovation in mattress technology. Throughout the years, Serta have delivered many “firsts” — such as the world’s first “tuftless” innerspring mattress.
Made in Canada
Today, Serta operates numerous manufacturing facilities across both the United States and Canada — which means that many of the Serta Mattresses sold at Smitty’s are indeed “made in Canada.”
Mattress Selection
Every Serta Mattress is made with the aim of superior comfort and support. Their wide range of product offerings fall into two broad categories: innerspring mattresses and memory foam mattresses. To figure out what mattress is best for you, we recommend using the Mattress Selector Tool on their website.
If you’re still confusing (or looking for a local retailer), come into Smitty’s and we will help you make the right decision! Check out our store hours and showroom locations.

This is not your grandma’s bed. This not a hospital bed. This is the bed of the future!
In the era of Netflix and on-demand television, adjustable beds are the go-to solution for anyone who enjoys watching TV before going to sleep — and they are great for other activities as well. Do you read before bed? Work on your laptop in the evenings? Help your kids with their homework
Your evening ritual: stacking pillows carefully behind your back, trying to get the positioning just right. Put this time-consuming practice behind you by investing in an adjustable bed. Get the comfort that you want, when you want it.
Reduced Snoring & Other Benefits of Adjustable Beds
Adjustable beds have been shown to help with a number of different conditions. They were first used to hospitals to improve circulation and oxygen flow in patients, by raising the heart above the rest of the body. Although commercial models are not validated by medical testing, these same benefits have been reported by other owners of adjustable beds.
Based on past reports & personal experience, we have found that adjustable beds can help with…
How Adjustable Beds WorkAdjustable beds combine the ergonomic benefits of a good quality armchair with the added advantage of being able to go from relaxation to sleep, with the click of a button. Modern adjustable beds use simple remote controls or Bluetooth technology to allow you to easily manipulate your bed’s positioning — without having to move yourself.
The best adjustable beds today will allow you to raise and lower the head, the foot and the middle sections, fitting any arrangement that suits you. An adjustable bed can be used in the same way that you’d use a reclining chair or a sofa. Or in new, creative ways!
Modern adjustable beds blend well into your home’s decor. Different models will come with different features, such as heat or massage — you can browse the Serta website to see the various options!
Pro Tip: Adjustable beds do require the use of a specially-made mattress to accommodate the raising and lowering of the base. Typically a memory foam mattress will work better than an innerspring model, as the springs are easily damaged by the bending motion.
