World’s fastest king size bed maker awarded Guinness World Record

Andrea Warner, hotel manager at Wellingborough Rushden Travelodge, has set a brand new world record for making a king sized bed in 74 seconds. 

It is the first time the record has ever been recorded and Warner’s entry into the Guinness Book of World Records was confirmed after she beat the initial target of three minutes.

The challenge was completed at the London Vauxhall Hotel and witnessed by an audience of more than 300 including Kit Malthouse, the deputy mayor of London for business and economics.

Warner said: “Not in my wildest dreams did I think that one day I would be a record breaker. I have made over 10,000 beds since joining Travelodge. However in the run up to taking this challenge I was practising throughout the day and evenings.”

A spokesperson for the Guinness World Records said: “74 seconds to make a king sized bed is an incredible achievement and it therefore gives us great pleasure to welcome Andrea into the record-breaking family.”
