Mattress used to rescue trapped boy
22/06/2011
Rescue workers in China have found a rather innovative use for a mattress after a young boy became trapped between two walls.
The child had been playing in the eight-inch space between two houses before becoming trapped, leaving rescuers baffled as to how they would get him out.
Local firefighters enlisted the help of a heavy duty inflatable mattress that was used to widen the gap between the two walls.
The five-year-old was also sprayed with oil in order to ease his escape, which was eventually completed, much to the relief of his parents.
Research Triangle recently discovered that many consumers are unable to select the right mattress to suit their needs, despite believing they have made the right decision.
In many cases, people opt for mattresses that do not prevent them rolling off, Furniture Today reported, which could leave them prone to all sorts of aches and pains.
