Under the bed restraint system - under bed strap kit discontinued by Sportsheets - review by rachaelxfaith

These under-the-bed restraints are pretty versatile in terms of use- once assembled under the mattress, you can restrain wrists, ankles, forearms or other parts in many different positions to accomodate the scenes you have in mind.

The restraints are suitable for lots of users, ranging from beginner to maybe advanced, though sometimes I (and other BDSM junkies) might desire a sturdier-feeling restraint, like steel cuffs or spreader bars. These restraints are comfier and not as restrictive, though you can get fairly strict with them depending on how tight or loose you make them.

This set is pretty darn sturdy. Though it may not seem so at first, the materials used are quite durable. The neoprene/nylon mix makes for a strap that can't be ripped (at least not easily- I'm not the strongest person around but let's say I've fought against them pretty valiantly to no avail). It feels, looks and functions like the adjustable part of a backpack strap.

The cuffs themselves are nylon material lined with a short furry material that lets you struggle against the restraints without leaving marks (as handcuffs would do) or hurting. They fasten with velcro.

As far as I can tell, these restraints will fit under any kind of mattress, from a twin to a California king. I personally have used them on a twin bed and a full bed. Also, the straps are adjustable enough to work with a wide variety of body types/heights/weights.

Dude, I love these things. They are unintimidating even to BDSM novices but keep people in place just as well as something that looks more threatening or complicated. They absolutely exceeded my expectations and have lasted a long time and show no sign of wear and tear.

The variety of ways you can use these makes them a great addition to the toybox.

I've never had to clean these, though I don't see any issue with tossing them in the washing machine and then drying them carefully in case there was a chance of shrinkage.

As for storage, it couldn't really be easier. When not in use, you can tuck the cuffs and restraints under the mattress, out of sight. If you need to remove them fully, just tug the whole assembly out from under the mattress and bundle it up.

I highly recommend this product, as it is discreet, durable, useful, and versatile.
