SANFORD, Fla. – June 10, 2026 – Hudson’s Furniture + Mattress has been named to the first-ever HFD 500 by Furniture Today, a new industry recognition program honoring the home furnishings retailers and leaders shaping the business today.
The HFD 500 debuts in Furniture Today’s September issue, with a yearlong feature running across Furniture Today, Home Accents Today, Designers Today and Home Textiles Today. For a family-owned store that opened its first showroom in 1981, the honor lands close to home.
“We’ve spent more than 40 years turning houses into homes for families across Central Florida, and that’s still what gets us up in the morning,” said Joshua Hudson, CEO at Hudson’s Furniture + Mattress. “Being part of the very first HFD 500 means a lot. It’s a thank-you we get to share with our customers and with every person on our team who helps someone find the right sofa, the right mattress, or the right room.”
Hudson’s has grown from a single store into one of Central Florida’s largest furniture destinations, with 14 showrooms stretching from Tampa and St. Petersburg to Orlando, Sarasota and Ormond Beach. Shoppers can choose from thousands of products across living room, bedroom, dining, home office and outdoor furniture, plus a full lineup of mattresses from brands like Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster and Simmons Beautyrest.
What hasn’t changed since 1981 is how Hudson’s treats people. Free design help from certified designers, sleep specialists who actually know mattresses, a price-match guarantee, and free delivery across Central Florida are all part of the deal. The HFD 500 recognition adds a national nod to a reputation that’s been built one Florida living room at a time.
Hudson’s place in the HFD 500 will be featured in Furniture Today’s September issue and across its sister publications throughout the year.
