About Homestead Furniture

Built on Experience.

Backed by Purpose.

Homestead Furniture wasn’t created overnight—it was built over a lifetime in the furniture industry.


Founders G. Lipscomb and Heath Huggins grew up in it. At just 16 years old, they were already working hands-on—learning how furniture is built, how it performs, and what separates something that lasts from something that doesn’t.


That experience carried them through decades in the industry, including leadership roles at Southern Motion—a company known for setting the standard in motion furniture —where they helped grow one of the most recognized names in motion furniture.


After decades in the business, they saw an opportunity to build something of their own—something more focused, more intentional, and more in line with how they believed furniture should be made.

A Return to What Matters

In 2022, Homestead Furniture launched in New Albany, Mississippi with a clear direction: Focus on motion furniture. Build it well. Keep it consistent.


The company opened a 70,000-square-foot production facility, backed by a $2.016 million investment, with plans to create 117 jobs. But from the beginning, the focus wasn’t just on growth—it was on getting the process right.


Instead of trying to scale quickly, Homestead started by working closely with one major retail partner, allowing the team to fine-tune production, maintain quality, and build a strong foundation.

“Our goal is to service them as long as they can keep us busy… It works well for the customer and for us.”

A Strong Start

When production began, the first chairs rolled off the line in early 2023—marking a milestone for the team and the company.


Inside the facility, it was steady work and a familiar rhythm. Many of the employees had prior experience in the furniture industry, and others were simply ready to get back to doing what they do best.


There was a sense of familiarity and teamwork from the start—something that continues to define the culture today.

People just want to be appreciated… before you know it, you’re a family.

One of the key differences at Homestead is how much of the process is controlled in-house.


Through operations like DTR (Designed to Recline) and partnerships such as Cloverlead Foam & Fiber, the company maintains greater control over materials, construction, and overall quality.


That control leads to more consistent products—and fewer compromises.

“There’s a huge need for American-made products that can be special ordered… Not everybody wants brown or gray."

Focused on What Matters

Homestead Furniture is intentionally focused on one category: motion furniture.


By narrowing its focus, the company can do it better—offering thoughtfully designed products with a strong emphasis on comfort, durability, and customization.


With multiple chair styles, manual and power options, and a wide selection of fabrics, Homestead gives customers real choices—without overcomplicating the process.
