In this episode Ben & Jeff highlight all the ways they serve Lancaster County and use their store as a platform for connection to the community.

From mattress fundraisers, The Dream Room, the Lancaster Connects Show, Gardners Gives Back - food and mattress donations, and sponsoring a student for a new pillow they see their connection to the community as more than just selling a mattress.

Thank you for watching Lancaster Connects! This is the show about small business and small charity success in Lancaster county - we showcase the battle on Main Street, big vs. small David vs Goliath, and bring you the best of what makes Lancaster so great.

💙 35 Years. 16 Favorite Store Wins. And Still… One Mission. 🛏️

At Gardner’s Mattress & More, we’ve helped thousands of Lancaster County families wake up happy — and today, we just want to say thank you.

You trust us with your sleep. Your health. Your home.
That trust means everything.

Here’s just one example that captures why we do what we do:

🗣️ “My husband has been able to sleep extremely well… He no longer has the back pain he had with our previous mattress.” — Kelly B.

Kelly came to us frustrated after previous mattresses let them down. We took the time to listen, guide them to the right solution, and made sure it worked — even after the delivery.

That’s not just a sale. That’s a sleep transformation.

From our Dream Room to our 120-Night Wake Up Happy Guarantee, to every follow-up call we make — we’re in this to change how you feel about mattress stores… and how you feel when you wake up.

📍 Stop by the store that Lancaster has trusted for 35 years.
