Fly By Night

"We're losing our middle class. We have to be strong at the low end and strong at the high end," says Richard Zafft of Northampton favorite Fly By Night. To that end, he says, the store has "added more better-priced platform beds." Ninety-five percent of Fly by Night's furniture is American-made—see the store's mouth-watering cherry items made in New England—and there's a strong emphasis on sustainable materials. Sleep has always been the focus at Fly By Night, where accessories such as dressers, lamps, cushions and futon covers—classic but never trite—round out the wide, ingeniously selected range of futons that's kept Fly By Night synonymous with that adaptable form of bedding.
