Saskatchewan-based company Modern Mattress has arrived in Moose Jaw, and co-owner Jordan Schenher is excited to be serving the south-central portion of the province even further.
The Moose Jaw location opened at the beginning of October to a positive response, said Schenher. The new storefront is the second location for the Yorkton-based business, which began in 2014 as a venture from two hometown entrepreneurs.
Schenher said that Moose Jaw felt like a natural expansion for the small business, and all of the right chips just fell into place to welcome Modern Mattress to town.
“It’s a good location, we liked the building, we like the landlord. We like the development that’s going on here [and] we’ve had our eye on the Moose Jaw market for a while,” said Schenher. “We’re here so that everybody in the south, in the surrounding area and in Moose Jaw, don’t have to go to Regina or other bigger cities to get products and services that we carry.”
Modern Mattress has all of the sleep essentials, said Schenher, from mattresses of all sizes to the sheets that go on them, and everything in between — frames, headboards, box springs, pillows and so on. That includes all of the major brands that people recognize, like Sealy, Serta, Simmons, Tempur-Pedic and more.
“There’s a lot of different mattresses and brands and products nowadays, all different kinds of sleep systems and support systems, and a lot of people don’t know what’s going to be best for them,” said Schenher. “We’ve got the knowledge and the experience in that to really help people find better sleep, more than just a new mattress.”
The company also offers a variety of services, including free delivery and setup within 100 kilometres of the store location as well as the free removal of old mattresses and box springs upon delivery. Every bed comes with a 100-night trial period, during which customers can exchange the mattress for a better fit.
With a warehouse on-location at the store, customers are also treated to a wide range of mattress options available to bring home immediately.
“We have beds for every budget, so we sell from the lowest price point in town to the most expensive and everything in between, [and] we can usually work with people on whatever budget they want to find them something they’ll be happy with,” said Schenher. “And we stock tons of inventory [in the warehouse] so at any given time, we can generally find something very quickly.”
Schenher and the staff are more than prepared to help customers find what they’re looking for when they stop by the store, and that dedication is about more than just stocking plenty of products.
As a small, locally-owned business, Schenher said the personable and knowledgeable customer service that Modern Mattress provides is a real point of pride for him.
“It's our service that sets us apart,” said Schenher. “We really do take pride in the way we treat people and connect with our clients.”
The Yorkton-based company is excited to join the business community in Moose Jaw, and Schenher said the city has been very welcoming since they opened. For both Modern Mattress locations here and in Yorkton, being a part of the community is an important aspect of being a local business, which is why the company is always looking to connect with their community and support local charities wherever they can.
“We’re a small business that is growing, so our team’s growing with us, and we’re really proud of what we’ve done. Opening multiple locations was not something that was in the cards for us not too long ago, and we decided to take this step and we’re excited for the opportunity,” said Schenher. “Moose Jaw seems like a good place to do business, and we’re looking forward to trying our best to make an impact in the community.”
Modern Mattress is located at 27B McKenzie Lane and is open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
