The World's Biggest Bed
The largest bed ever made was created in the Netherlands for the St Gregorius Summer Festival in May 2011. Measuring 26.5 m (86 ft 11 in) long and 16.44 m (53 ft 11 in) wide, just imagine the pyjama party you could have in this impressive bed!

Most People on a Single Bed
If you think your significant other is selfish with the covers and mattress space, just be glad you’re only sharing your bed with one other person. The world record for the most people to fit into a single bed is held by Xilinmen Furniture Company in China. In September 2013 they crammed 54 people onto a standard single bed – we don’t recommend trying this at home if you want to get a good night’s sleep!
Most People Eating Breakfast in Bed
In August 2015, 418 people got into 113 double beds outside Sheraton Langfang Chaobai River Hotel in China, and were served a wonderful tray of breakfast including pastries, fruits and juice. Participants were required to eat from the tray, with both legs on the bed and their backs against the headboard. Many of the participant’s children also took part in the event but were not counted towards the record breaking total of 418 people simultaneously eating breakfast in bed.
The Most Valuable Bed Ever
