LIONEL MESSI has reportedly taken steps to protect his wife and children from coronavirus with his latest purchase.
The Barcelona star is said to be among the footballers who have acquired a mattress that claims to remove all traces of Covid-19 in just four hours.

The Argentine superstar reportedly splashed out £900 on the protective bed
Multiple Spanish reports claim the 33-year-old now rests his head on Tec Moon’s latest anti-coronavirus mattress.
The company, which boasts Atletico Madrid star Saul Niguez as an ambassador, also allegedly services Messi’s Argentine team-mate Sergio Aguero’s nighttime needs.
Supposedly, the £900 mattress’ appeal is that that if an infected person sleeps on it, all traces of coronavirus are removed from the bed.
The system, called “Viruclean”, apparently uses nanoparticles embedded in the tissues to wipe away over 99 percent of viruses and bacteria.
Depending on the model, these mattresses also have other functions such as foot massage which would help protect Messi’s nifty feet.
The six-time Ballon d’Or winner has been very proactive in his efforts to help combat coronavirus in recent months.
Back in May, Messi donated £440,000 to help the battle against the deadly bug in Argentina.
The Barcelona skipper also agreed a pay cut on his wage alongside his team-mates at the Nou Camp.
