When you shop with us, you are going to experience the Big Sandy Superstore difference. Setting you up to make an informed, confident purchase matters to us! In fact, it matters so much that we regularly publish guides for you, our valued customers.
Since we’ve got a lot of buying guides and product guides on our blog, we’ve gathered them here so you can browse our shopping guides before you shop.
Below, you’ll find collections of our guides to shopping for home furnishings and furniture, kitchen and laundry appliances, mattresses, electronics, and then finally, we’ve put together our guides written to help you navigate the new world of online shopping.
We hope you get as much out of these buying guides as we get out of helping you find reliable appliances for your home and showing you how to confidently make your design dreams come true.
Guides to Home Furnishings, Décor, and Design
There’s a lot to weigh when you’re shopping for new furniture for your home! Your living room contains the essence of your space, so before you make any final decisions, explore our guide to What to Consider When Buying New Home Furniture for Your Living Room.
One of our suggestions (though it’s really more of a politely suggested requirement) is to find out what your furniture style is! If you haven’t taken the style quiz on the right-hand side of our blog page, do that first for some inspiration, then read our guide, What’s Your Furniture Style? so you know which furniture types and design styles to shop for.
This year, we’ve all spent more time at home than ever before. If you’re anything like us, without business travel or leisure trips, you might have noticed that your bedroom doesn’t spark the calm or peace of mind you’d like it to. Spend time in our Bedroom Furniture Buying Guide to learn how to shop for bedroom furniture that you will love throughout the many years you have it.
If you love Ashley Furniture (and Signature Design by Ashley!) as much as we do, you’ll have fun and hopefully be inspired as you peruse our Ashley Furniture Buying Guide.
Guides to Shopping for Home Appliances
We don’t have an absurd number of rules here, but if there’s a rule we never break, it’s that before you make any purchase, you must measure, measure again, then measure again! Thing is, measuring for a new appliance is a little tricky. Not measuring, however, is not an option, so pay close attention to our guide on How to Measure Refrigerator Space [Plus Related FAQs].
Check out this video for a peek at the helpful tips in the guide!
Once you’ve measured your space, it’s time to shop for your new fridge. Whether you’re replacing an old refrigerator that up and quit on you or you’re remodeling, the key considerations remain the same. Learn about picking the right fridge in this Easy Guide to Buying the Best Refrigerator for You.

It’s what we do here, though, so we wrote this buying guide to show you considerations to weigh before making an investment in a mattress. Check out this Mattress Buying Guide: How to Choose a New Mattress to learn how to make the right decision about your sleep health.
Once you’ve become acquainted with the keys to a successful investment in improved and healthier sleep, it’s time to figure out which brand has the bed you need. We carry America’s top five mattress brands, plus Purple and Nectar, and we have opinions on them all! Read The Big Sandy Superstore Shopping Guide to Top Mattress Brands to compare our favorite, most trusted mattress brands.
Speaking of Purple and Nectar, which are brands you may know as pioneers of the mattress-in-a-box, you can learn more about the benefits of a bed-in-a-box in this guide: Bed-in-a-Box: Mattress Shopping Made Easy.
