LAKE ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Knowing that nearly one in 10 people having diabetes in the U.S., Mueller Furniture, a fourth-generation family-owned business, is working to educate customers on the unique health benefits of furniture.
“Over the past few years, we’ve really seen an increase in customers looking for furniture that has health benefits in mind,” said Mark Mueller, owner. “People want products that not only make them feel good, but also promote healthy habits and overall wellness.
“It’s becoming more popular for manufacturers to create products that are designed to help promote circulation, relaxation and a healthier lifestyle,” he added. “We offer various products that not only benefit your physical health, but your mental health as well.”
Mueller said the ability to elevate your feet and increase blood flow can be very important for someone who has diabetes or is dealing with diabetic neuropathy, a type of nerve damage from high blood glucose levels. Noting the value of massage therapy, he noted the Cozzia massage chairs that the retailer carries.
“Our Cozzia massage chairs are designed to greatly improve circulation. It’s been proven that massages can help improve blood sugar levels and help people deal with symptoms of diabetic neuropathy.”
Mueller Furniture also offers adjustable beds, couches and lift chairs that help promote relaxation.
Mueller Furniture has four locations in the Metro East and St. Louis area.
