NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal dominated the league during his prime with his sheer strength and size. The towering center was a nightmare matchup for opponents on both ends of the court. However, his giant frame comes at a cost. The struggles to find everyday things to fit him could sometimes be tedious. For someone who values his sleep, Shaq once could not find a mattress that would fit him. The Big Diesel was once searching for a comfortable mattress. And he found one, but it did not fit him, unfortunately.

So the Los Angeles Lakers legend shared a photo of him sleeping in it and asked the mattress maker if they could make something that would fit his gigantic frame. The mattress maker was more than willing to help the basketball legend. And delivered a 72″ by 98″ mattress with his Shaq Dunkman logo.
