Aristocrat Motors and Sleepyhead Beds

Our Mercedes-Benz dealerships,  in conjunction with Sleepyhead Beds, a Kansas City based nonprofit organization,  will be holding back to back weekend Bed Drives to benefit children in the metro area that do not have a bed to sleep in at night. Currently, this represents 1 in every 42 of our area kids.

We NEED any and all of the following:

1. Volunteers! We need help loading and unloading beds, sterilization of donations, and drivers.
2. Beds! We will be accepting full and twin size mattress and box spring combos.
3. Bedding! We need sheets and bedding for twin and full size beds.
4. Pillows! We need them, but they must be NEW IN THE PACKAGE pillows.
5. Monetary Donations! Every $40 donated is a bed-equivalent.

Some other Questions you might be asked…..

How does a child get a bed?: We have no formal application process. If a child needs a bed and we have it, the child gets the bed.

Delivery?: We will pick up and deliver beds and bedding in the Kansas City metro area.

Sanitation: Each mattress is fully sanitized before it leaves our facility. We use SteriFab, a non-residual, biodegradable sanitizer that is effective against fungus, mold, mildew, bed bugs, dust mites, fleas, lice, ticks and more. It is one of the only non-residual sanitizers labeled for use on mattresses. We also clean each mattress with a special UV vacuum.

Tax Deductions: All donations to Sleepyhead Beds are tax deductible.
