Why the grumpy dog logo?
When we first began building our mattress and furniture store back in 2020, we went through the same brainstorming process you’d expect — clouds, sleepy sheep, cozy beds. All the usual logo ideas that felt safe, pleasant… and completely forgettable.
But none of them felt like us.
What did feel like us was our schnauzer, Jax.
Jax was a rescue with a personality larger than life. He was endlessly loyal, full of attitude, and famously — unapologetically — grumpy. Not in a bad way, but in the kind of way that made people smile, laugh, and instantly remember him. He had the sort of face and presence you just couldn’t ignore, and that uniqueness was exactly what we wanted our store to represent.
So instead of choosing a generic logo, we chose him.
From the very beginning, Jax became part of the store’s identity. Customers loved spotting him in photos, especially the ones where he proudly claimed the mattresses as his own. His personality perfectly reflected something we’ve always believed: a home should feel comfortable, personal, and filled with character — never cookie-cutter.
As our brand grew, the logo grew with it. With our PJ’s rebrand, we gave Jax a slightly more human-like look while preserving the charm, expression, and spirit that made him so special to us.
Jax passed away in December 2024 at 14 years old, after many years of adventures, hikes, and countless naps on furniture he absolutely believed belonged to him. While we miss him dearly, his legacy remains permanently woven into our story.
The Grumpy Dog isn’t just a logo.
He’s Jax — and he will always be part of who we are.

Our Story
PJs Furniture & Mattress began with a simple idea: shopping for your home should feel comfortable, personal, and even a little fun. When we opened our doors, we wanted to create a store that felt different from the typical furniture experience — a place where customers could take their time, ask questions, and feel genuinely helped rather than pressured.
From day one, comfort and personality have shaped who we are. What started as a small local showroom quickly grew through word of mouth, loyal customers, and a commitment to treating people the way we’d want to be treated ourselves. Over the years, PJ’s has evolved, expanded, and reimagined its look, but the heart of the store has never changed: great products, honest advice, and a welcoming environment.
