Open Furniture Stores Near Cambridge: Hours, Locations & How to Find the Right Showroom
Share
If you're typing "furniture stores near Cambridge open now" into Google on a Saturday afternoon, you probably don't want a history lesson — you want an address, a set of hours, and some idea of what you'll find when you walk in. So let's start there. Cambridge Beds & Furniture runs one full showroom at 199 Thames Street, Morrinsville 3300, serving shoppers from Cambridge, Hamilton, Te Awamutu, Matamata and Te Aroha. Our former Cambridge store has closed, and the full range — beds, mattresses, bed frames, headboards and general furniture — is now in Morrinsville, with in-store finance and a 60-night comfort guarantee on sleep products. The showroom is open 7 days: Monday to Friday 9am–5pm, Saturday 10am–5pm and Sunday 10am–3pm. Hours can shift slightly around public holidays and end-of-year sales, so it's worth a quick check on our Google Business Profile or a call on 027 823 4445 before you drive out, especially on a long weekend.
That's the short version. If you've got a few minutes, the rest of this guide walks through exactly what to expect at the showroom, how to plan a visit that's actually worth your time, and what separates a showroom trip from just clicking "buy" on a product photo.
Why "Open Near Me" Searches Don't Always Give You the Full Picture
Search a phrase like "furniture stores near Cambridge" and you'll get a mixed bag — some listings pull hours from directories that haven't been updated in months, some show stores that have closed (including our old Cambridge address), and a few show big-box chains an hour's drive away that technically count as "near Cambridge" if you're generous with the definition. It's a common frustration, and it's part of why we're writing this the plain way: a real address, real product categories, and a clear steer on how to double-check hours before you leave the house.
For Cambridge shoppers, "near Cambridge" usually means somewhere a short drive away in Hamilton, Te Awamutu, Matamata or Morrinsville. Our Morrinsville showroom is roughly a 25–30 minute drive from Cambridge, and it doesn't require a special trip into Hamilton's bigger retail parks.
Cambridge Beds & Furniture — The Thames Street Showroom, Morrinsville
Our showroom sits at 199 Thames Street, Morrinsville 3300, close to the town's main retail area. It's set up as a browsing showroom rather than a warehouse — meaning beds are made up, mattresses are unwrapped and ready to lie on, and headboards are mounted so you can actually picture them against a wall rather than squinting at a swatch.
What you'll typically find on the floor:
- Beds and bed frames — timber, upholstered and metal frames across single through to super king, including the Falcon Bed Frame
- Mattresses — a spread of firmness levels and constructions, including the Spine Serene mattress
- Headboards — upholstered and panel styles sold separately or as part of a bed package
- General furniture — pieces for the living and dining spaces that go alongside a bedroom refresh
Because it's a working showroom, stock on the floor can shift week to week with sales and new arrivals — if you've got a specific model in mind, it's worth calling ahead or checking the beds collection online before you drive over, just so you're not disappointed if that exact piece has just sold.
Trading Hours at the Morrinsville Showroom
Standard hours are Monday to Friday 9am–5pm, Saturday 10am–5pm and Sunday 10am–3pm. The most reliable way to confirm today's hours is the store's Google Business Profile (search "Cambridge Beds and Furniture" and the hours show at the top of the listing) or the homepage of the site, both of which are updated ahead of public holidays, Boxing Day sales and the odd early close for stocktake. If you're planning a special trip — say, driving in from Cambridge or Matamata on a public holiday Monday — a quick phone call is the safest bet.
What Happened to the Cambridge Store?
Cambridge Beds & Furniture used to run a showroom in Cambridge as well. That store has now closed, and everything has moved to Morrinsville — the same range, the same finance options and the same 60-Night Comfort Guarantee. If an old directory listing or blog post sends you to a Cambridge address, please head to 199 Thames Street, Morrinsville instead.
The Morrinsville showroom suits shoppers from across the Waikato: Cambridge, Hamilton, Te Awamutu and Matamata to the south and west, and Te Aroha, Paeroa and the dairy-farming areas around Morrinsville itself to the north and east.
How to Actually Find an Open Store When You Need One
A few practical habits save a wasted trip:
1. Check the live Google listing, not an old bookmark
Google Business Profile hours update faster than most third-party directories. If a site like Yellow Pages or an old blog post lists different hours or an old address, trust Google — or better yet, ring the store.
2. Public holidays are the exception, not the rule
Most Waikato retailers trade differently on Waitangi Day, Anzac Day, Christmas/Boxing Day, and New Year's — either reduced hours or a full closure. If your visit lands on or near one of these dates, a two-minute phone call beats a wasted drive.
3. Weekday mornings are the quietest time to browse properly
If you want unhurried time with a staff member to talk through mattress firmness or bed sizing, a weekday morning tends to be quieter than a Saturday afternoon, when showrooms understandably get busier with weekend shoppers.
4. Bring your measurements
The single most common hold-up in a furniture showroom isn't finding something you like — it's not knowing whether it'll fit. Doorway widths, stairwell turns, and the actual floor space in the bedroom are worth measuring before you go, especially for larger bed frames or dining furniture.
What to Expect When You Walk In
A showroom visit is genuinely different from ordering online, and it's worth knowing what you're getting out of the trip:
You can actually lie on the mattress. Firmness is subjective, and product photos can't tell you how a mattress feels under your specific weight and sleep position. Ten minutes lying on a few different options tells you more than any spec sheet.
You can see fabric and finish in real light. Upholstery colours and timber tones photograph differently under studio lighting than they look in a Waikato living room. Seeing a headboard fabric in person avoids the classic "it looked darker online" letdown.
Staff can walk you through sizing and delivery logistics on the spot. Questions like "will this queen frame fit through my hallway" or "how does delivery work if I'm out at Tamahere" are answered faster face to face than by email.
You can ask about current stock versus special order. Some pieces are floor-ready for near-immediate delivery; others are special order with a longer lead time. That's a detail worth confirming before you commit to a date for old furniture to be picked up.
Getting to the Showroom: Parking and Directions
The Morrinsville showroom on Thames Street is central, close to the town's main retail area, with straightforward street parking. From Cambridge it's roughly a 25–30 minute drive, and from Hamilton it's about 30 minutes. It doesn't require navigating a big-box retail park, which is a small thing but genuinely makes a difference if you're juggling kids, a trailer, or old furniture you're bringing in to compare sizing against.

What Happens After You Buy: Delivery and Old Furniture
Once you've chosen a piece, the practical questions usually shift to logistics: when it arrives, whether it's delivered assembled or flat-packed, and what to do with whatever you're replacing. It's worth asking these three things in-store before you pay, rather than after:
- Delivery timing — floor stock is generally quicker than a special order, so ask which category your chosen piece falls into. Delivery is free within 10 km of the showroom and on orders of $2,999 or more; see the delivery and assembly page for other distances
- Assembly — some bed frames arrive ready to use, others need assembly on delivery or at home
- Old mattress or furniture removal — ask whether removal of your old piece is available, since councils have different rules (and fees) for large item collection, and it's easier to sort out at the point of sale than after delivery day
None of this is complicated, but it's the kind of detail that's easy to forget to ask when you're focused on choosing the mattress or frame itself — worth having a mental checklist before you get to the counter.
Seasonal Timing: When to Shop for the Best Range
Furniture and bedding retailers, like most NZ retail, tend to run bigger promotional pushes around Boxing Day, the end-of-financial-year period (March), and mid-year sale windows. Stock on the floor is often widest just before these periods, as new ranges land ahead of the sale. If your purchase isn't urgent — say, you're planning a bedroom refresh for later in the year — timing a visit around one of these windows can mean a wider range to compare, alongside any sale pricing that's running. If your mattress has genuinely reached the end of its life, though, it's not worth waiting months for a sale that may or may not beat the value of sleeping properly in the meantime.
Payment and Finance Options In-Store
The showroom offers flexible ways to pay, which matters for anyone furnishing a whole bedroom or replacing a mattress unexpectedly:
- Afterpay — split the cost into smaller automatic payments
- Finance Now — structured finance for larger purchases, useful if you're furnishing multiple rooms at once
These are available at checkout in-store and online, so if budget is the thing holding you back from replacing an old mattress, it's worth asking staff to talk you through repayment amounts before you rule anything out.
The 60-Night Comfort Guarantee, Explained
Buying a mattress sight-unseen (or even after ten minutes lying on it in-store) is still a bit of a leap — a mattress that feels right for a ten-minute test often feels different after a full night's sleep, repeated over weeks. That's what the 60-Night Comfort Guarantee is there for: if a mattress isn't working out once you've had it home and slept on it properly, there's a window to sort out an exchange rather than being stuck with the wrong fit. It's worth asking in-store for the specific terms and conditions that apply to your purchase, since eligibility can vary by product.
Furniture Shopping Across the Wider Waikato
Because the showroom sits in Morrinsville, coverage naturally extends across the surrounding Waikato towns:
- Cambridge — roughly a 25–30 minute drive, and our delivery runs cover Cambridge homes too
- Hamilton — about 30 minutes away, making it a realistic option rather than a special trip
- Te Awamutu and Matamata — a slightly longer drive, but well within range for anyone comparing options against local stockists
- Te Aroha, Paeroa and the northern Waikato — a short trip to the Thames Street showroom
If you're weighing up a trip from further out — say, from Rotorua or the Coromandel — it's worth calling ahead simply to confirm the specific pieces you're after are on the floor that day, since travel time makes a wasted trip more costly.
A Practical Guide to Choosing Beds, Mattresses and Furniture
A few things worth thinking through before (or during) a showroom visit:
Mattress firmness isn't one-size-fits-all
Side sleepers generally do better on a slightly softer surface that cushions shoulders and hips; back and stomach sleepers usually want firmer support. Couples with different preferences sometimes do better with a mattress that handles motion isolation well, so one person's movement doesn't wake the other.
Bed frame height affects more than looks
A higher frame with a deep base makes getting in and out of bed easier for some people (particularly anyone with knee or hip discomfort), while a lower platform-style frame suits a more minimal room. It's a small detail that's easy to overlook until you're living with it daily.
Headboards can be swapped independently
If your existing frame is fine but the room feels unfinished, a standalone headboard is often the cheaper fix compared to replacing the whole bed — worth asking whether a headboard can be fitted to an existing frame before assuming you need a full replacement.
Measure twice, order once
This is worth repeating: doorway width, stair turns, and hallway corners catch people out more often than the furniture itself being the wrong size. If in doubt, ask in-store whether a piece comes flat-packed or fully assembled, since that changes what actually needs to fit through the door.
Online Browsing vs an In-Person Showroom Visit
Browsing the beds and mattresses collection or bed frame collection online is a good way to narrow down style and budget before you drive anywhere — it saves time once you're in-store, since you'll already have a shortlist rather than starting from zero. But for anything you'll be sleeping on nightly or living with for years, an in-person visit is worth the trip: firmness, fabric colour, and frame height are all things a screen can't fully convey. A reasonable approach is to shortlist online, then confirm in person before paying.
