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

Sportsheets hit the nail on the head with this one! I will never have to purchase cuffs again, unless I want to upgrade to something really sexy, like leather!

The Under the Bed Restraints will work with any bed size, and are perfect for anyone and everyone interested in a bit of restraint play, regardless of whether or not you are a beginner or an advanced player.

It would be super easy to add to this product. Adding one more strap and a pair of thigh cuffs or a waist belt, would make for an interesting experience too.

Traveling? Don't leave home without 'em! These restraints would be easily packed in your suitcase or your carry-on. They do not take up much room; as a matter of fact, they could easily be stuffed inside a pair of shoes, (not the ones on your feet, silly!) inside your bag.

This product is extremely well-made. The H-design creates an easy fit under any mattress. We have a king-sized bed and we had no problems with the installation or the fit, there is still plenty of strapping (60" on all four restraint straps, 60" on the connector strap that runs the length of the mattress). The strapping is constructed of heavy-duty nylon, much like the seat belts in your car, only half the width. At the end of each strap, is a metal O-ring that the cuffs clip easily on to. If you are trying to install this product by yourself and have a large/heavy mattress (like we do) you might want to enlist a close friend or your lover to help you. We found it necessary to have four hands (one set to lift the mattress and one set to arrange the straps) during this process.

The cuffs themselves are adjustable to your size, as well as soft. I am not sure exactly what type of material the cuffs are made of, but it feels like fleece to me. Whatever it is, it is very comfortable against the skin and does not chafe even after several hours of having them on. Each cuff is about 10" in length, with the Velcro stripping adding another 5.25", should you need it. Nylon strapping and heavy-duty Velcro strips are sewn onto the cuffs. The nylon straps secure the metal clips in place. At no time does any of the hardware touch the skin in any fashion.

The seams are tightly sewn and will not likely come apart in the near future, if ever.

And BONUS!...There is no funky smell to the straps or the cuffs either.

This is by far the best investment I have made to date, in regards to restraints.

I was surprised by the durability of this product. Once my husband cinched me in and tightened the straps as tight as he could, I figured with enough struggling I would eventually be able to loosen the grip the straps had on me. Even after two hours, I could not get the tension to give one iota. I really put it to the test. I pulled so hard at one point, I gave myself a leg cramp. I honestly figured these restraints would be more for light bondage play, but I attempted several times to wiggle my way loose and to create a little slack on the straps, to no avail. I thought for sure that the Velcro would at least begin to pull open, but it kept me nice and secure, while my husband had fun watching me wiggle. I have to say, I am extremely impressed at the quality craftsmanship Sportsheets put into this one. My husband enjoyed having his way with me. I think this might be his favorite toy yet.

I really appreciate that by purchasing this kit, I have all the cuffs I will ever need for any type of play. The cuffs can be removed from the straps and used in completely different ways, either together or separately; whether they be used like a set of handcuffs or ankle cuffs, or even clipping one wrist to one ankle while laying on your back makes for interesting positioning too. I do like that I have the option of changing out the cuffs, should I so choose.

This product should not require frequent cleaning, but if something such as lube should get spilled on it, spot cleaning with mild soap and water should do the trick nicely. There are no cleaning instructions on the box. I would be reluctant to toss it in the washing machine.

To store, just roll up the restraint straps with the cuffs attached and tuck them nicely under the corners of the mattress. There is really no need to remove it from the bed every time, if ever. Since it is so convenient to leave in place, there is no reason not to put it to good use often.

If you must remove the restraint system from the bed and store it elsewhere, you could always use the package it came in, but it is small enough to really be stored anywhere, in a drawer, in the closet, in a bag, a shoebox, anywhere.

No Scissors Required! The product is boxed in a plastic, see-through, easy-open, clam-shell container with a cardboard insert. On the front of the insert, a woman in a spaghetti-strap top and bikini panties is laying on the bed with her wrist and ankle cuffed at the corners of the bed. The words "Under the Bed Restraint System" and "Turn any bed into a bondage playground" are bold and stand out.

On the back, there are three pictures that depict usage and two instructional diagrams to show you how to set this up under your mattress.

There are no other instructions that come with this product.

This kit is so versatile; the possibilities are endless. I look forward to finding more ways to play with it.

The day the package arrived in the mail we placed them on the bed. Unfortunately, we did not have a chance to use them because we had out of town company for two weeks. The night our company left, I came into the bedroom and saw that my husband had the restraints laid out nicely at each corner of the bed. I was excited that I was going to get to use them. I quickly realized my husband had a completely different idea for the evening and that I would not be "using" the restraints at all, but I was going to be the Guinea Pig for the sake of research. I knew in an instant what my night would entail and the very thought had me aroused!

After two hours in the restraints and struggling quite a bit (mostly for the sake of this review) I did notice I had a small bruise on the top of my foot at the base of the ankle. It did not hurt and when I say small, I mean the size of a nickle.

I absolutely am looking forward to strapping my husband down and seeing how they hold up to all his wriggling about. I will update this review in a few weeks and report my findings.

As for now, I am in love with this purchase.

If I could I would give it 6 stars, but 5 will have to do!
