Barry, 60, from Barnoldswick, said: “Beds are in this family’s blood and we have all worked here at Silentnight for years.

“But, despite the temptation none of us have ever been caught sleeping on the job.
“We thought, because we are so involved with the industry, and in recognition of national love your bed week, we’d do something big to celebrate this year.
