    A total of 41 mattress dominoes were set up - and subsequently knocked down.

   The mattresses were set up along a carefully mapped route through the warehouse - zigzagging up and down the main floor - where forklifts, boxes and conveyor belts are the biggest obstacles.

 Note: WRA has two different categories for this record:
   - Largest Indoor Human Mattress Dominoes   and
   - Largest Outdoor Human Mattress Dominoes

   And it's not just a UK craze. Kids in American colleges have caught onto the craze up and down their corridors.
