Valentines Winner

Annual Valentine's Day Mattress Winner! We delivered Bailey's brand-new Immunity Queen Size Mattress Set valued at $2,999. She was the lucky winner of our annual Valentine's Day giveaway. "I'm very grateful that they can do this yearly," said Bailey. "It gives people a chance to do something for themselves. Like most parents, I put things on the back-burner if it doesn't involve my kids." Winning the mattress was just what she needed. The past few years have been challenging. "In late 2022, I left a really bad relationship. The majority of my belongings were tossed out or destroyed." Due to a work-related injury, Bailey's been out of work for over a year. After three surgeries, the doctors are unsure if she can return to her position as a medical assistant. "When I saw 16 Cents' Facebook post about the contest, I thought it could be an amazing opportunity to get a new bed," said Bailey. "I needed one but didn't have the funds for it. All our extra money goes straight to the kids." Bailey has been sleeping on an old mattress purchased several years ago and is looking forward to sleeping on the new one. "It was hard to believe we won until 16 Cents messaged me," said Bailey. "I'm looking forward to having a new mattress, let alone a whole new set. It's really special. I feel like this is going to be our year."
Karen Holzer never imagined she would win our Annual Valentine’s Day Giveaway.

The prize of the Queen-Size Mattress set valued at $2,999 could not have come at a better time. Karen's birthday is in February, but that's not what matters most to her. Her priority is helping her husband, Clark, who is facing stage four esophageal cancer.

Most people know Clark by his childhood nickname, Smokey. The cancer forced him to leave his longtime job as a cook at The Swinging Doors, and he retired on December 1.

“The bed we have right now is ancient and falling apart," Karen said. "As my husband is currently going through chemo, I think this new bed will be much more comfortable."

Smokey's daughter, Annette Guise, nominated Karen for the prize. Here's part of what she wrote, "My stepmom, Karen, has been an incredible source of support for him throughout this difficult journey. A new bed would help make their struggles more manageable and comfortable."

Karen’s family was there when she got the call she had won the mattress set. She teared up.

Thanks to our loyal customers and hardworking employees, we can help others in our community.
