the mattress store offers new englander mattresses and a variety of secondhand mattresses, including pillow top and standard twin, full, queen and kingesses at discounted prices, said Shelly Kern, who opened the shop with her husband, Kerry Kern, near the end of October.It’s also Kern’s goal to donate mattresses and assist various community organizations like The Baby Fold, Home Sweet Home Ministries and Recycling Furniture for Families.“We just opened up, and there’s already a need,” Kern said.Kern became more involved in charitable programs when her son Andrew became sick and eventually died from cancer in 2005. She supports national charities like the American Red Cross and United Way but also sees a need to reach out specifically to a local sick, elderly person without family nearby who just wants a Christmas meal.“They need attention, too, and that’s our community, that’s our area where we’re living,” Kern said.Since her family moved to Normal a year and a half ago, Kern has spent about eight months as a front desk receptionist for Home Sweet Home Ministries. She’s now a part-time residential counselor with Chestnut Health Systems.The mattress store offers new Englander mattresses and a variety of secondhand mattresses, including pillow top and standard twin, full, queen and king sizes, Kern said. The store has box springs and bunk beds, too.The store will celebrate its grand opening from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov
