Save on American Made Furniture During Rainbow Furniture’s Labor Day Sale
Walmart Wants Now it’s Merchandise all Made in the USA, Rainbow Furniture Already Does That
In the news today is a story about Walmart’s announcement that it wants to build more of its products in the USA, and help increase our gross domestic product and decrease unemployment.
Experts see this effort as little more than a drop in the bucket. Could it be simply that customers are getting tired of the third rate import merchandise Walmart has been selling over the past several years?
And, isn’t Walmart coming to this party a little late? A lot of the U.S. manufacturing system has been demolished over the past decade, as entire factories have been shipped overseas.
It isn’t easy to find quality U.S. Manufacturers, just ask Tim Osborne at Rainbow Furniture in Fort Wayne, IN. As Tim watched other local furniture stores switch over to low cost imported furniture, he also saw customers get lured away by their low costs. But Tim never wavered. Instead he kept on selling only quality furniture manufactured in the United States. You probably don’t have that cheap import sofa you bought ten years ago anymore, but if you bough a Norwalk or Temple sofa from Rainbow Furniture in 2003, it would still look great, and sit comfortably in your living room today.
Today, all the furniture you find inside Rainbow Furniture’s six showrooms on Covington Road is made in America. You will find some accessories here and there that are imported simply because there are no American companies making those products anymore. And, of course, the Rattan wood used to make Braxton-Culler Rattan upholstered furniture won’t grow in the US, but the furniture is assembled here.
We would love to walk into Walmart one day and find all American made goods. Until then, if you want to visit a store where almost everything is made in the USA, then come by Rainbow Furniture, at the corner of Covington and Freeman in Fort Wayne, IN.

New Lift Bed available now at Rainbow Furniture in Fort Wayne
Lift Beds have become popular in recent years, as people find they want to raise or lower the top or bottoms of their mattresses to their own individual comfort. You know that if Fort Wayne’s Rainbow Furniture is going to carry a lift bed, it will have to be 1.) Made in America, and 2.) Made well. The new Gold Bond lift bed at Rainbow fits both criteria.

Mattress Shopping? Protect Your Family! Look for the CertiPUR Seal
We’re all familiar with “New Car Smell.” What, of course we’re really smelling are oders from paint, fabrics, plastics, and other chemicals used to manufacture the vehicle.
You’ve noticed the same “New” smell in other things you’ve purchased, maybe even from a brand new mattress. Again, what you’re smelling are chemicals, such as fire retardants, that may actually combine to smell nice, but could really be dangerous to your health. In fact, some of these chemicals have been associated with chronic illnesses. What you thought would give you a great night’s sleep could wind up making you ill.
Fortunately, there is a solution: Look for the The CertiPUR-US® seal. This seal is your assurance that the foam in your mattress has been tested and certified by an independent laboratory to meet specific criteria for physical performance, indoor emissions and environmental stewardship.
CertiPUR-US® approved foams are:
- Low emission (VOCs) for indoor air quality
- Made without prohibited phthalates
- Made without ozone depleters (no CFCs)
- Made without mercury, lead or heavy metals
- Made without formaldehyde
- Made without PBDEs
Next, you need to find products that proudly wear this seal. Here at Rainbow Furniture, we carry mattresses that meet the CertiPUR standards. For example, The Cobalt 11″ mattress from EcoSense Mattresses by Gold Bond blends the comfort properties of gel with the support and resiliency of latex. It has been designed to be cooler, more durable, and to circulate airflow more quickly, helping to increase blood flow and oxygen around the body and remove body heat quicker than other foams.
The first of these mattresses we stocked sold out quickly. We have one left on the floor and more ordered that should be in soon. You can learn more about CertiPUR at this web site. And you can learn more about Rainbow Furniture are our web site.
Rainbow Furniture Adds American Made Gold Bond Mattress Line
Here at Rainbow Furniture in Fort Wayne,Indiana, we’re constantly searching the country for top quality, made in American furniture. Happily, we seem to be finding more American Made quality every day. American consumers are getting smart, and know they get more years of wear from top American companies than they get from the furniture they bought made in China. On a cost per value basis, American made furniture is actually cheaper to buy than imports.
Gold Bond Mattress is the latest Made in America line we’ve added. God Bond Mattresses are actually made in Connecticut, and have been since 1899. For a company that’s over a 112 years old, they certainly do keep up with the times.
Take their Sacro-Support Encased Coil line, for example.
The ticking is made with soft and luxurious rayon knit fabric, accented by elegant medallions in rich gold and dark chocolate tones. Super soft high resiliency foam and plush fiber is quilted to the fabric, with additional super soft foam or visco memory foam layers underneath to bring resilient support.
Durable full-body support comes from 804 individually wrapped encased coils. Designed to move independently, the encased coils not only conform to every curve and contour of the body but also help to eliminate partner disturbance and motion transfer. Each coil is made of 14-gauge tempered steel for exceptional resilience.
The line is built to last with steel edge supports and an all-steel foundation which is used in every Gold Bond collection.
Another important Gold Bond feature: Mot of their mattresses are two sided. To save money, a lot of Mattress companies now only make one sided mattresses, so you can’t turn them over to increase the life of your mattress. Gold Bond offers most of their line with two sides instead of just one.
We will also continue to carry Wolf Bedding, made right here in Fort Wayne,IN, another company we’ve loved for years for their consistent quality. So now when you want the very best mattress you can get, come to Rainbow Furniture and check out two top American Made Companies.
