Paladin Furniture

What Paladin Furniture does

Paladin Industries, Inc., operating as Paladin Furniture, is a family-owned domestic manufacturer of hand-crafted upholstered furniture founded on January 1, 2002, by Tim and Elaine Bolick. The company is headquartered in Hiddenite, NC, in the heart of the U.S. furniture manufacturing region near Hickory, and operates a dedicated showroom in High Point, NC. It employs 11-50 people and is also designated as a Disabled Veteran owned business.

The company's core products are upholstered sofas, sectionals, chairs (matching, accent, swivel, swivel gliders), ottomans, accent pieces (settees, chaises, benches), upholstered beds, and sleeper sofas. Underlying the products are proprietary cushioning systems, including the Spring Blend Down (SBD) cushion with Marshall coil springs and a feather/down/fiber blend, the Comfort Plus (CPC) pocketed coil package, Platinum Plush cushioning with 100% recycled polyester, and sleeper mechanisms such as the Air Dream Ultra and Hickory Spring Over Nighter. All pieces are bench-made by hand in North Carolina using eco-friendly materials (75% regenerated steel springs, recycled polyester, recyclable packaging). The company offers extensive customization through four programs (Design Your Own Bed, Custom Choices, Urban Silhouettes, Casual Options), with 400+ fabric selections and a Customer Own Material (COM) program.

Paladin generates revenue through a quote-based wholesale model, selling upholstered furniture to a network of authorized fine retailers, design boutiques, and private label dealers both domestically and internationally, supplemented by direct showroom sales in High Point. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is obtained through dealers or direct contact. Distribution relies on a dealer portal with pricing and product documentation and a 'Become a Dealer' recruitment program. Customer segments include end retail consumers (residential furnishing) and business buyers (dealer resale and private-label white-label manufacturing). No revenue, funding, or headcount trend data is publicly disclosed.
