Same Ashley furniture. More brands to choose from. A Price Beat Guarantee. And an in-store demonstration that actually shows you the differences in furniture quality.
Shopping for a new sofa, sectional, recliner, or bedroom set? Chances are you've considered Ashley Furniture. Ashley is one of the most recognized furniture brands in America, offering stylish, affordable options for nearly every room in your home.
But here's something many shoppers don't realize: You don't have to shop at Ashley HomeStore to buy Ashley furniture.
Big Sandy Superstore carries Ashley furniture alongside leading furniture brands from other manufacturers. And sometimes the exact same Ashley product is priced lower at Big Sandy.
1. We Don't Just Price Match. We Price Beat!
Why pay more for the exact same furniture? At Big Sandy Superstore, we believe customers deserve the best possible value. That's why we offer our Best Price or It's Free Guarantee.
Unlike a traditional price match, our guarantee is designed to beat qualifying competitor offers. Find a lower qualifying price on the same model from an eligible competitor and we'll beat it according to the terms of the guarantee. Ashley also offers price matching, but Big Sandy takes it a step further with our Price Beat Guarantee.
Why shop around hoping you're getting the best deal when Big Sandy backs qualifying purchases with a guarantee?

2. Same Ashley Sofa. $70 Less at Big Sandy. Here's a Real Example!
You might assume that buying Ashley furniture at Ashley HomeStore would get you the lowest price. But that's not always the case. Take the Signature Design by Ashley Altari Slate Sofa, model 8721338.
Same manufacturer. Same model. Same sofa. Look at the advertised website prices on October 29, 2026:
| Model | Big Sandy Superstore | Ashley HomeStore |
|---|---|---|
| Signature Design by Ashley Altari Slate Sofa (Model 8721338) | $529.99 | $599.99 |
Same sofa. Save $70 at Big Sandy!
That's nearly 12% less for the exact same Ashley sofa. Not a similar model, a different fabric, or a lower-cost substitute.

3. We Carry Ashley Furniture AND Other Leading Furniture Brands
Ashley HomeStore primarily sells furniture from Ashley's family of brands. Big Sandy gives you Ashley plus a broader assortment from independent manufacturers, including Flexsteel, Liberty Furniture, H.M. Richards, Bernhardt, Four Hands, Vanguard, and Century, depending on location.
When you're choosing furniture you'll live with for years, doesn't it make sense to compare different construction methods, fabrics, features, comfort levels and prices? You might come in wanting Ashley, try Flexsteel, and like it better. Or you might decide Ashley is exactly what you want. Either way, you can compare more options before deciding.
4. At Big Sandy, We Don't Just Tell You About Furniture Quality. We Show You!
Two sofas might look almost identical, but what's under the fabric can make a difference in how they feel and hold up over time. That's why Big Sandy developed a quality rating system based on furniture construction and materials: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
And we have an actual in-store Frame Story demonstration that shows customers how those levels are built.
Bronze — Affordable Everyday Value
Bronze furniture typically uses engineered-wood or pine frames, standard foam cushions and basic support systems. It's an affordable option for first apartments, guest rooms or tighter budgets.
Silver — Great Value With Enhanced Comfort
Silver adds improvements such as upgraded foam or more durable covers. Much of the Ashley furniture we carry falls within Big Sandy's Silver quality level. Ashley makes attractive, affordable furniture that works well for many customers—that's why we carry it. Individual models are rated according to their actual materials and construction, not simply the brand.
Gold — A Significant Step Up in Construction
Gold options may feature plywood or hardwood frames, stronger joinery, corner blocking, reinforced construction, upgraded cushions and higher-quality support systems. These upgrades can appeal to families seeking better support and durability for daily use.
Platinum — Premium Craftsmanship and Materials
Platinum showcases premium construction such as Flexsteel's Blue Steel Spring system and select Craftmaster models with upgraded frames and high-density foam cushions. These options emphasize materials, comfort, construction and customization.
We're not here to tell everyone to buy the most expensive sofa. We're here to make sure they understand what they're buying. Ask a Big Sandy sales professional to walk you through the Frame Story display and see the differences for yourself.
5. Shop Furniture, Mattresses, and Appliances All Under One Roof
Big Sandy goes beyond furniture. Shop sofas, sectionals, bedroom and dining sets, plus mattresses from brands such as Tempur-Pedic, Purple, Beautyrest, Sealy, Serta and Stearns & Foster. You can also shop major appliances from GE, LG, Whirlpool, Samsung, Bosch and KitchenAid.
Whether you're furnishing one room or an entire home, Big Sandy makes it easier to compare more of what you need in one place.
6. Employee-Owned Means We Have a Personal Stake in Your Experience
Big Sandy is employee-owned. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan, eligible team members have an opportunity to earn an ownership stake in the business. We believe that creates a personal interest in earning your trust, taking care of customers, and making sure you want to come back.
We've been serving families since 1953, and we're proud that the people who help make Big Sandy successful have an opportunity to share in that success.
7. We're Here to Help You Find the Right Furniture, Not Just Sell You Furniture
Furniture shopping can be overwhelming. Our sales professionals work to understand what matters to you—comfort, style, durability, the way you use your space, and your budget. For those who want more support, Living Inspired design services can help coordinate a complete room.
Whether you're shopping for a $500 sofa or premium furniture for your forever home, the goal is the same: help you make a decision you feel good about.
