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

Perfect for light bondage. Also good if you don't have bedposts or a bed frame. Not for those looking for a heavy-duty restraint system. But if you're like me and getting into bondage, it's a relatively inexpensive way to start, and you can upgrade this system with carabiners and better cuffs.

The entire kit is very small and light, so it's also good for travel.

The design is simple, but effective for a light bondage system that sets up in a few minutes, or less, if you have someone helping you. It's adjustable for different bed sizes, and I had no problem setting it up on my queen bed. Straps seem pretty durable. The Velcro on the cuffs holds against your partner's resistance.

Because of the cuff design and the attachment to the straps, a determined submissive can escape (though since you should never leave a restrained person unattended, you'll be there to flog them for trying to escape) a couple of different ways. One is to undo the Velcro strap, and another is to reach for the clip connecting the cuffs to the strap.

I'll probably upgrade this system by replacing the cuffs to something more tamper-proof, and replace the links with locking carabiners or something else that would be difficult for your partner to work her/his way out of. When I get around to replacing the cuffs, I'll probably get more cushioned cuffs, as my partner noticed some slight bruising on her wrist from her struggling, but this isn't an issue unless your partner wants to actively struggle against the restraints.

The restraints worked well. My sub struggled, and pulled on the restraints, but to no avail. A strong partner will probably be able to 'taco' the mattress, but for a partner that isn't fairly strong, this shouldn't be an issue. If your partner is a strong male, you may need a more heavy-duty setup, but for everyone else, I think this setup is fine.

The straps are easy to adjust, so once you attach the cuffs to the straps, you can crank down on the straps and spread your partner out. And they release quickly if you need to free your partner in a hurry.

When done playing, I just detach the cuffs and store in my toy box. I tuck the straps under the edges of the mattress and it's hidden, but ready to use at a moment's notice.
