\u201cWe saw the La Mesa Village. We just love that area and a spot that opened up. It worked out perfect. We were able to get another location and we love the community,\u201d Hernandez said. \u201cIt\u2019s been good since we\u2019ve been in there.\u201d<\/p>\n Like other retailers, the coronavirus caused a major hit for the business. At first, they were available by appointment only but have since opened back up. Immunocompromised and cautious shoppers can still book a one-on-one appointment online for the hour before the store opening and after its closure.<\/p>\n Sales have been slower to return in La Mesa than Miramar, Hernandez said, partially because customers disappeared for a week or two after the riots. At this point, sales are steadily coming back though.<\/p>\n Mattress Makers has a history of giving back to the community and this period has been no exception. When the lockdown began, Hernandez said they brought a few seamstresses into the store to sew masks for the community.<\/p>\n \u201cWe made about 5,000 face masks to give out to the community and to the frontline workers. That kept us busy. Even though we\u2019re not making money off it, it kept us busy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Currently, Mattress Makers is giving free custom pillows to police officers and other first responders at the La Mesa store.<\/p>\n![\"Mattress](\"https:\/\/lamesacourier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mattress-makers-300x225.jpg\")
