Therapedic and Mattress Mart Donate Mattresses to Families First Program

Furniture World Magazine

Mattress Mart, one of Michigan's largest sleep shops, in conjunction with The Therapedic Mattress Company, recently continued their tradition of bedding donations by presenting S.A.F.E. Place with over $170,000 worth of twin mattresses for their Families First program. "Mattress Mart and Therapedic are very proud of our contributions to the Families First program. Our continuing involvement with Families First and S.A.F.E. Place demonstrates Mattress Mart's continued commitment to our local communities. This most recent donation is one of many made in 2000, and is another reason why the Better Business Bureau of Western Michigan recently awarded us with their Small Business Community Service Award," stated Trent Sheuer, co-owner of Mattress Mart. Families First is a program which works with families who have been impacted by domestic violence and who have received residential or non-residential service through S.A.F.E. Place, or who have been referred by other Human Service agencies. If you have an interest in this program or have items you would like to donate to Families First, please call S.A.F.E. Place at (616) 965-6093. Mattress Mart has locations at 5383 South Westnedge Avenue in Portage, 5285 Beckley Road in Battle Creek and 5601 West Main Street in Kalamazoo. All three locations are locally owned by Jeff, Trent and Tony Sheuer. The Therapedic Bedding Company is the nation's fifth largest bedding manufacturer. Its South Bend, Indiana facility serves all Mattress Mart locations and contributes to domestic violence shelters throughout the United States via a program modeled after Mattress Mart's own bedding donation campaign.
