Art Van Furniture met its goal to break the Guinness World Record of building the tallest stack of mattresses.

The Warren, Mich.-based retailer stacked king size King Koil mattresses 14 1/2 feet high breaking the previous record. The previous record of mattresses stacked at 13 1/2 feet was set by Mattress Firm last year.

"A big part of setting a world record is having fun, and we did just that," said 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.

"We're very excited because this accomplishment will officially put Art Van in the record books," he said. "We will always be known for great value in our merchandise and strong dedication to our community, but we're also devoted to creating some unexpected and sometime unpredictable good times."
