FAQs

Find answers to our most commonly asked questions. 

How can a mattress fundraiser benefit our school program?

The mattress sale fundraiser is unique because it allows school programs to raise thousands of dollars in one day. 

How do we do it? The profit is earned through the cost saved by omitting the brick and motor store and using your school’s space as the mattress showroom. This saved overhead is then given back to the students in the form of a BIG CHECK!

What kind of mattresses are sold at the event?

Brand name mattresses like Sealey, BeautyRest, Malouf, Simmons, and more!

How can this be a Big Check Event?

CFS is on your team! We will guide you and help you market your event for success. The key is getting the word out to your community and encouraging people to come show their support the day of the fundraiser. 

How big of a group can do this fundraiser?

Normally we shoot for a group size of 50, however it’s a matter of work ethic of each group. We can also combine programs. For example, middle and high school bands, etc. 

Do the students and parents have to volunteer the day of the event?

We encourage as many students and parents as possible to volunteer the day of the sale. Our team will lead the sale and all customer relation related interactions. 

The parents and students get to do the fun stuff like dress up in our mattress costumes and wear ridiculously large hats as they greet customers coming in to check out the sale. 

 

When will the school receive the money raised from the fundraiser?

Our goal for payout is 7-10 days from the event date. 

When can we start?

CFS needs at least 6 weeks lead time to prepare for your event.

I purchased items at the mattress fundraiser. What happens now?

You will receive an email from us verifying that you made a purchase over the weekend. Once orders have been placed and are in production, you will receive a second email updating you of this. Finally, once all orders have been received at our warehouse, you will receive communication from our routing service in the form of an email and a text. This last touchpoint will give you a date and timeframe window for delivery. If these arrangements do not fit your schedule, please call the number provided and we will happily get it rescheduled for you!

Do you offer delivery?

Yes we do! We are partnered with 6th Man Movers and they handle all of our deliveries. 

What is the average shipping time-frame?

We aim to have all orders submitted for processing by the Wednesday following the mattress fundraiser. Depending on the manufacturer, production typically takes around 2-3 weeks. From the day of the sale, to delivery to our dock in Nashville is usually within a 3-4 week timeframe. 

Our team will send out emails along the way to keep you updated on the progress of your order. 

I have an old mattress I need to dispose of, do you offer haul-away?

We do offer haul away at an additional cost of $50 for the first mattress and $25 for each mattress after that. 

The mattresses are then taken to a local company here in Nashville called Spring Back Recycling.

Can I remove the tags from my mattress?

We’ve all heard it, “Never remove the mattress tags”. It even says so on the tag, but why? The tag serves two purposes. It provides the customer with proof that they’ve purchased a new, never used mattress and it shows what the mattress is made of. 

These tags also provide the important information needed for a customer to file a warranty claim. 

Is my mattress covered by a warranty?

Yes! All mattresses are covered by the manufacturer warranty. 

Why should I use a mattress protector?

Mattress protectors prevent dead skin cells, dust mites, sweat, saliva, and body oils from soaking into your mattress. These stains will also void your manufacturer’s warranty and any additional protection plans you might have purchased for your bed. 

How many years of use can I expect to get from my mattress?

There are many factors involved when considering the lifespan of a mattress. Typically, this range is 7-10 years. However, this depends on numerous factors. The quality of a mattress, how well it’s been cared for, the number of sleepers and bodyweight, plus the type of mattress all influence how long or short the lifespan is.
