Leah Cullen , a student from Pittsburgh, Pa. and president of the JC gym class club, arrived at the idea through a tweet posted by a movie star about the mattress dominoes record being broken this past summer. She said, "I saw the clip and immediately found breaking that new record was feasible."

Three Huntingdon area officials have agreed to act as witnesses and stewards for the event: Mike Fleck, Pennsylvania representative; Foster Ulrich, mayor of Huntingdon; and Charles Streightiff, chief of police for Huntingdon.

The world record for the Largest Human Mattress Dominoes was sponsored by the JC Rotaract Club and the JC Gym Class Club.

   Typically, students sprawled around on mattresses throughout the campus quad means burst pipes in dorm buildings or insufficient housing accommodations when in reality such a sight is going to be a world record attempt for the Largest Human Mattress Dominoes .

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


   The previous Guinness world record for the Largest Human Mattress Dominoes was set on Aug. 16, 2009 by channel 9 studios in Sydney, Australia, with 80 people on 80 mattresses.
