A NEW and unique world record was thought to have been set in Tewkesbury at the weekend as local people turned out to be part of the mattress dominoes craze.

Bensons for Beds’ warehouse on Northway Lane was the scene as staff, friends and family gathered to take part in the record attempt on Sunday, which Guinness World Records confirmed had not been tried before.

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

The last man standing ended up on his mattress on a conveyor belt and loaded onto a delivery van, but it was all part of the day’s fun.

Julie Flitter, administration manager at Tewkesbury Home Distribution Centre who organised the stunt, said: “We contacted the Guinness Book of Records, and apparently there is no official world record as yet - so we submitted details of our attempt and we’re just awaiting confirmation that we’ve set it.”

The entire attempt can be found on youtube.co.uk, by searching for Mattress Dominoes World Record.
