AN EAST Lancashire bed company had a challenge on its hands when it was asked to make a made-to-measure bed for Mr World.

Bodybuilder Neale Cranwell, who lives in Essex, has had problems finding a bed that is suitable for his 18-stone muscular frame, so he contacted Sealy, which is part of the Silentnight Group, based in Barnoldswick.

Mr Cranwell visited the Salterforth Bed Show on Monday with his glamour model wife Zoe to test out beds and find the way to a perfect night’s sleep.

Finding a bed that suits Mr Cranwell is a difficult task in itself.

But Zoe is a very petite size zero – so making a bed which is good for both of them is definitely a job for the experts.

And that’s where the designers at Sealy, which manufacturers Posturepedic beds, comes in.

As a result, the couple now have a bed that will ensure a good night’s sleep for both of them – especially with Mr Cranwell in training to regain the Mr Universe title later in the year.
