Furniture price statistics describe several different layers of the market. In the United States, consumer price indexes show how average prices changed for defined household categories, producer price indexes track manufacturers’ selling prices, and Census retail figures estimate nominal store sales rather than quantities purchased.

Latest U.S. Consumer Furniture Price Statistics
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures average price movement for a defined basket, not the checkout price of one particular sofa, chair, or table. The figures below refer to the U.S. city average for all urban consumers and use December 2025 as the latest consumer-price measurement period supplied here.
Furniture and bedding accounted for 0.798% of the CPI-U consumer basket in December 2025. This is a relative-importance basket weight, not a retail spending total or average item price. BLS Consumer Price Index News Release—2025 M12 Results
The broader household group gives additional context, but it should not be treated as furniture alone:
- Household furnishings and operations had a 4.492% CPI-U relative importance in December 2025.
- Household furnishings and operations contributed 0.177 percentage points to the 12-month all-items CPI-U change from December 2024 to December 2025.
- Household furnishings and supplies had a 3.387% CPI-U basket weight in December 2025.
- Household furnishings and supplies prices rose 3.4% from December 2024 to December 2025.
- Household furnishings and operations had a 4.0% 12-month increase through December 2025.
These broader aggregates include household operations, supplies, and furnishings, so their weights and price changes cannot be read as furniture-only results. BLS Consumer Price Index News Release—2025 M12 Results
Furniture and Bedding Prices by Household Category
The detailed CPI categories separate several major types of furniture. Their relative-importance figures indicate how each category contributes to the consumer basket, while the 12-month changes describe average category price movement.
| CPI category | December 2025 basket weight | 12-month price change through December 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom furniture | 0.252% | 3.3% increase |
| Living-room, kitchen, and dining-room furniture | 0.391% | 4.0% increase |
| Other furniture | 0.145% | 2.9% increase |
Bedroom furniture had a 0.252% CPI-U basket weight and increased 3.3% over the year ending December 2025. Living-room, kitchen, and dining-room furniture had a 0.391% weight and rose 4.0%, while the residual “other furniture” category had a 0.145% weight and increased 2.9%. BLS Consumer Price Index News Release—2025 M12 Results
The categories are not interchangeable. The living-room, kitchen, and dining-room series is combined, and “other furniture” is a residual BLS category rather than a universal index for every product outside the named groups.
Bedroom and Living-Room Furniture Price Trends
Related furnishing categories help show how the wider household environment moved during the same period, although they are not furniture-price measures. The supplied BLS figures cover December 2024 to December 2025 and the U.S. city average for all urban consumers.
- Window and floor coverings and other linens had a 0.238% CPI-U basket weight and rose 2.7% year over year.
- Floor coverings had a 0.059% basket weight and rose 3.1% over the year.
- Window coverings had a 0.056% basket weight and rose 8.9% over the year.
- Other linens had a 0.124% basket weight and fell 0.1% over the year.
Window coverings showed the largest increase among these related categories, while other linens recorded a slight decline. These figures include coverings or linens and should not be substituted for bedroom, living-room, or upholstered-furniture prices. BLS Consumer Price Index News Release—2025 M12 Results
Related Household Equipment and Furnishing Price Data
Appliances and decorative household goods provide context for household purchasing conditions, but they measure adjacent categories rather than furniture itself. The following observations cover December 2024 to December 2025 for the U.S. city average and all urban consumers.
| Related CPI category | December 2025 basket weight | 12-month price change |
|---|---|---|
| Appliances | 0.215% | 1.7% decrease |
| Major appliances | 0.068% | 1.9% increase |
| Other household equipment and furnishings | 0.490% | 5.2% increase |
| Clocks, lamps, and decorator items | 0.283% | 3.9% increase |
| Indoor plants and flowers | 0.115% | 7.2% increase |
The aggregate appliance category fell 1.7%, while major appliances rose 1.9%, illustrating why category definitions matter. Other household equipment and furnishings rose 5.2%, clocks, lamps, and decorator items rose 3.9%, and indoor plants and flowers rose 7.2%; none of these results is a furniture-only price change.

Producer Price Statistics for Upholstered and Wood Furniture
Producer Price Indexes (PPIs) measure prices received by U.S. manufacturers, not retail checkout prices. The December 2025 detailed PPI report uses different index bases for different series, so index levels should not be compared across series as though they shared one common base.
| Manufacturing series | December 2025 PPI | Index base or scope |
|---|---|---|
| Upholstered household furniture manufacturing | 282.173 | June 1982=100 |
| Upholstered household furniture excluding dual-purpose sleep furniture | 265.313 | Excludes dual-purpose sleep furniture |
| Upholstered sofas, davenports, settees, and loveseats excluding custom work | 263.001 | Excludes custom products |
| Upholstered sectional sofa pieces excluding custom work | 217.838 | December 1987=100; excludes custom products |
| Upholstered household rocking chairs excluding custom work | 235.938 | June 1982=100; excludes custom products |
| Dual-purpose sleep furniture excluding custom work | 294.046 | Includes convertible and chair-bed types; excludes custom products |
| Nonupholstered wood household furniture manufacturing | 368.361 | December 1979=100 |
The upholstered household furniture manufacturing index rose from 280.438 in August to 282.173 in December 2025. That movement is an unadjusted monthly producer series, not a direct estimate of the change in a consumer’s furniture bill. BLS December 2025 PPI Detailed Report
Office Seating and Furniture Producer Prices
Office furniture PPIs extend the producer-level picture to commercial furniture and seating. These figures describe U.S. manufacturers in December 2025 and retain each series’ scope and index base.
| Office-furniture series | December 2025 PPI | Scope or index base |
|---|---|---|
| Office furniture including fixtures manufacturing | 217.864 | Includes fixtures; December 2003=100 |
| Office furniture except wood manufacturing | 455.426 | December 1979=100 |
| Office seating including upholstered seating except wood | 320.121 | December 1979=100 |
| Office furniture other types except wood, including panel systems | 545.793 | December 1979=100 |
| Office desks and desk extensions except wood | 550.067 | December 1979=100 |
The different bases are essential to interpretation: a higher index number in one row does not establish that the underlying product is more expensive than a product in another row. The office-seating figure covers upholstered seating except wood, while the desks and desk-extensions series covers a separate product group. BLS December 2025 PPI Detailed Report
Furniture Retail Sales Trends Alongside Price Statistics
Census furniture and home-furnishings-store figures describe nominal retail sales for U.S. stores classified under NAICS 442. Adjusted estimates remove seasonal, holiday, and trading-day effects, but they are not adjusted for price changes; therefore, sales growth does not equal real unit or volume growth.
| Comparison | Sales change | Estimate type |
|---|---|---|
| February 2024 to February 2025 | 5.5% higher | Adjusted advance estimate |
| January 2025 to February 2025 | 1.2% lower | Adjusted advance estimate |
| February 2024 to February 2025 | 4.5% higher | Not adjusted |
| January 2024 to January 2025 | 2.1% higher | Not adjusted |
| December 2023–February 2024 to December 2024–February 2025 | 5.9% higher | Two-month-total adjusted comparison |
| December 2024 to February 2025 | Unchanged | Two-month-total comparison |
The adjusted February 2025 estimate was 5.5% above February 2024 but 1.2% below January 2025. On a not-adjusted basis, February sales were 4.5% above February 2024 and January sales were 2.1% above January 2024. Census Advance Monthly Sales for Retail and Food Services, February 2025
Across December 2024–February 2025, sales were 5.9% higher than across December 2023–February 2024 on a two-month-total adjusted comparison, while the December 2024–February 2025 comparison with December 2024 was unchanged as reported in the advance estimate. These are nominal sales comparisons and remain subject to revision, so they should be read alongside, not as a replacement for, the CPI and PPI measures.
