Question
do you except purchase orders from franklin county columbus ohio, family resource. I was interested in the innersprings vinyl mattress and was also wondering is the masongrad a mattress cover that is removable, or is the whole bed coverd with it and it cannot be moved?
Answer
Lisa,
We do accept purchase orders from Government and educational facilities with approved credit application on file. We do, however generally, ask for prepayment on the first order by check or credit card.
The "Masongard" covers are removable only in instances of replacement, and are standard on some of our mattresses, these are for mattress protection and are not recommended to be removed.
