James Clemens Football Hosting Annual Mattress Sale

MADISON- Get a good night sleep for a good cause. That’s the message the James Clemens football program is expressing as it’s ready to host its 12th annual Mattress Sale on Sunday, April 28, from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. in the school cafeteria inside James Clemens High.

“All the money raised from the sale will go towards renovations and upgrades for the school’s athletic field house,” said Chad McGehee head coach of the Jets. “Every purchase goes toward supporting our football team with equipment and upgrading facilities.” Custom Fundraising Solutions of Alabama will handle the inventory and actual sale of merchandise and all offers are guaranteed. A professional crew will be on hand in the makeshift showroom of the school cafeteria to assist on selections of bedding. In addition to mattresses in all different styles, sizes and firmness, the sale will also include luxury pillows and mattress pads. The brands of mattresses available will include Simmons, Beautyrest and Therapedic among others.

“The prices offered are 30-40-percent less than retail and all mattresses come with a full comfort guarantee and factory warranty,” added McGeHee.

In the 11 years the football program has hosted the event, $67-thousand has been made from the sales, all of which has gone straight to the football portion of athletics at the Class 7A school. McGehee’s message about the event included, “We ask everyone to come and support athletes. We’re no selling something people don’t need.”

“You don’t have to plan on transporting your mattress home from the sale, as all bedding will be delivered,” added McGehee. Once selections are made, payment can be handled in a variety of ways. Demos will be setup in the showroom as customers will make their selections and the mattresses will be shipped directly to the customer’s home.
