New furniture is an investment in your home and comfort, and you should not have to wait for the pieces your family needs.

At A&M Discount Furniture and Mattress, we offer several ways to pay over time. Here is a plain-English look at each option so you can decide what fits your budget. Approval and terms vary and are set by each provider.

Why Consider Financing?

  • Furnish a whole room at once instead of piece by piece.
  • Replace a worn-out mattress right away.
  • Take care of a move without draining your savings.

The key is choosing an option you understand and can comfortably manage.

Your Options at a Glance

Option Type Highlights

Affirm Pay over time See your payment schedule before you commit

Synchrony Financing

Synchrony offers promotional financing for qualifying purchases:

  • 6 months no interest on purchases of $299 to $1,998.99.
  • 1 year no interest on purchases of $1,999 or more.

Tip: Divide your balance by the number of months in the promotion to find a monthly amount that pays it off on time. Then set up reminders or automatic payments so you never miss a due date, and read the full promotional terms before you sign.

Affirm

Affirm lets you split your purchase into payments over time. You see your payment schedule before you commit, which makes budgeting easy.

Terms depend on your purchase and approval, so review the details Affirm shows you at checkout.

Lease-to-Own Options

Lease-to-own is another path. Instead of a loan, you lease the furniture and make regular payments. You can own your items at the end of the lease term, or use an early purchase option to own them sooner.

  • Acima: Available from $10 down. Ask about the early purchase option and review your lease agreement.
  • Snap Finance: Available with $39 down. Read the agreement carefully, including the early purchase option.
  • Koalafi: Review the terms presented when you apply, including the early purchase option and the payment schedule.

Good to know: The total cost of leasing over the full term is usually more than the retail price, so using the early purchase option can help you save. Always read your agreement and ask questions before you sign.

How to Choose the Right Option

  • Know your budget: Decide on a monthly amount you are comfortable paying.
  • Compare the total cost: Look beyond the monthly payment.
  • Read the terms: Each provider sets its own approval requirements and terms.
  • Ask us: Our team in Hempstead and Valley Stream can walk you through your options.
