This is SO worth the money! I thought the same thing, but the quality and versatility sold me on it. This allows for so many more positions than your typical under the mattress restraint system. Plus I have seen too many cuffs break when they get pulled too roughly. When you factor in the money you pay to replace them, this is worth it. The Velcro is actually as strong as it shows and the cuffs can be used without the sheet and anchor pads so, it is like two gifts in one. Invest in it, you won't be sorry. Especially if you add a discount code to your order.
