About Us

Real Furniture. Real People. Now in Northampton and Maynard

We’re an independent furniture and mattress store built in—and for—New England. Our calling is simple: help people furnish homes with beautiful, durable pieces at honest, everyday pricing, with zero sales pressure.

What we carry (and why)
We focus on solid wood furniture (including our own Noho collection in cherry), customizable upholstery from respected American and European makers, and natural, breathable mattresses. Everything is selected for real-life New England homes: right scale, clean lines, lasting materials.

How we work

  • No hassle. No pressure. Our team doesn’t work on commission, just on your behalf.
  • Honest pricing. No fake “50% off” signs—just fair prices year-round and real promos when they exist.
  • Customization without chaos. Plenty of made-to-order options, plus smart in-stock choices when you need it now.

Service that sticks. Our own delivery crew treats tight staircases and old houses with the respect they deserve.

Two showrooms, same values

  • Northampton, MA — Our light-filled, 24,000 sq. ft. flagship in historic downtown.
  • Maynard, MA — Our new MetroWest showroom bringing the Fly By Night experience east.

Beginning With a Van and Vending Permit

Fly By Night began more than 30 years ago with a street vendor’s permit, a stack of handmade futons, and a classic VW van for deliveries.

We outgrew the sidewalk, opened a tiny storefront, then a full-scale Northampton showroom.

Today, that same independent spirit carries us into our second location in Maynard—proof that doing right by customers, staff, and community still works.

What We Stand For


  • Materials that matter: solid wood, real fabrics and leathers, and natural mattress components
  • Sustainability & local commerce: thoughtful sourcing and long-term partnerships.
  • Room to decide: we welcome questions, second visits, and tape measures.
  • Neighbors first: we’re a locally owned business, here for the long haul.

    Fly By Night—independent furniture and natural mattresses for New England homes, now in Northampton and Maynard, MA. Come sit, stretch out, compare, and take your time. We’re ready when you are.

Our Team

Most of us have been with Fly By Night for over 10 years. We believe in a flat management structure, where all of our employees—founders or salespeople—are valued equally. Visit our showroom to meet our dedicated and passionate team.
