Overstock.com is an American online retailer specializing in home goods, furniture, bedding, rugs, and decor. Originally founded in 1999 by Patrick Byrne as a closeout and surplus goods retailer, the company has evolved into a full-line home furnishings e-commerce destination. The company is headquartered in Midvale, Utah, and briefly operated under the name Bed Bath & Beyond after acquiring the brand name in 2023, before reverting to the Overstock name.
Overstock's business model centers on offering brand-name home products at competitive prices, often below traditional retail pricing. The company sources products from a network of suppliers and manufacturers, maintaining a marketplace-style platform with millions of products. Overstock has built its reputation on value, offering frequent sales events, flash deals, and a price match guarantee.
The product range focuses heavily on home categories including furniture for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms; area rugs; bedding and bath products; lighting; home decor; kitchen essentials; and outdoor furniture. Rugs are a particular strength of the platform, with one of the largest online rug selections available. Overstock also carries jewelry, watches, and clothing, though home goods remain the core focus.
Overstock has invested in its technology platform, offering features like augmented reality room visualization, 3D product views, and a mobile app. The company operates a loyalty program called Club O that provides members with rewards on purchases and free shipping benefits. Overstock was an early corporate adopter of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, accepting Bitcoin as payment since 2014.
