The previous Guinness world record for the World's Tallest Stack of Mattresses was 13 ½ feet.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest human mattress dominoes
, achieved by 850 participants (all USA), at an event organised by La Quinta Inns & Suites, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
A team of workers and a few hi-los were used to move and stack mattresses inside Art Van's warehouse in Warren.
"A big part of setting a world record is having fun, and we did just that!" says David Van Elslander, Vice President of Art Van PureSleep.
"This is just another event that solidifies Art Van's commitment to fun, style and unpredictability."
