The Buck stops here

Written by Julie Henningfield and Nancy Christopher-Wilkes on 2007-02-01

Verlo Mattress Factory Stores is filling a tall order: custom-made just for Milwaukee Bucks star Andrew Bogut. The mattresses and box springs will be specially built to match the comfort specifications and height considerations of the 7-foot-tall center.

The beds will be handcrafted on site and displayed for public viewing at two of Verlo's locations ... and Bogut will make an appearance at one of the stores!

From 5 a.m. to 9 a.m., Friday, Feb. 9, the first bed is scheduled to be custom-made at Verlo Mattress Factory Stores of Greenfield, 6501 W. Layton Ave. The bed will also be on display at the Greenfield store location.

From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., also Feb. 9, this Buck will stop at the Verlo Mattress Factory Stores of Fort Atkinson, 201 N. Main St, where the second bed will be completed. Bogut will be making an appearance and will also be participating in an autograph signing.

Verlo Mattress Factory Stores has once again brought customized bedding to new heights. One of the largest beds ever made by Verlo, Bogut's beds will measure 90 inches by 96 inches, keeping in mind that standard king-size beds run 76 inches by 80 inches. Verlo Craftsmen will also include an added personalized touch of embroidery with his name and the Milwaukee Bucks logo.
