Information about our Discount

Why do we operate a discount policy? 

No member of our society should be without a bed to sleep on at night, a chair to sit on, or access to a washing machine to wear clean clothes. Sadly, this is a reality for many people. A key part of our mission is to eradicate economic inequality, making essential household items financially accessible to everyone. Our discount policy improves the odds for thousands of people on low-incomes, restoring dignity and ensuring their living standards improve.


How is our discount structured? 

Goods at our stores are listed with a single price ticket and items where a discount is available will be identified by a blue dot on the label. If an item has a blue dot, please ask a member of staff for the discount price. Discount prices can be accessed by; Visitors who claim financial support, students, and customers in employment earning less than minimum wage. This is an example of how a pricing ticket will appear on an item at a Furniture Now! store Our access to high-quality furniture and dedication to customer service ensures that every visitor to our stores leaves satisfied.

Our standard price still provides excellent value for money, with our high-quality goods cheaper than all mainstream furniture and electrical suppliers on the high street.
