Under the bed restraint system - under bed strap kit discontinued by Sportsheets - review by married with children

The under the bed restraint system is a good idea on paper. In real life, it has some issues. They sell it as a one size fits all, as far as mattress size goes. But it does not work very well on our king size bed. We will dive more into that in a minute.

The straps are made from Nylon. This is a typical material for sportsheets and other companies. It holds up well to wear and tear. The wrist and ankle restraints are made from neoprene. They have a very soft feel to them. The restraints adjust with the use of velcro. They attach to the "under the bed" parts with the use of a metal clasp hook. The restraints adjust to fit the different size mattress's, to a certain extent. Each restraint is connected to a long tether. There are 2 tethers at both ends of the set up, 2 for your hands and 2 for your legs. Each set of tethers is connected to the main strap with a metal d-ring. The main strap is adjustable in length.

To set up, you run the main strap from head board to foot board, in the center of your box springs. You then run one tether to each corner of your bed. Adjust the straps to fit, and you are done with set up. If you have a king size bed like me, you might need to pick up some extra tethers. Sportsheets sells them, I believe eden carries them. You can then attach the extra tethers to the ones under your bed, and be able to reach your victims, I mean partners limbs.

These clean up really easy. I have never made mine dirty enough to need to be washed in the sink. They hold your hands and legs out of the way, so in theory they should not be in the action. Ours have gotten some lube on parts, but a quick wipe with a baby wipe cleans them right up. You dont really need any place to store these. After all, they are designed to sit under your mattress. They should also be stored there. It takes a lot of effort to lift your mattress to set these up. You would not want to go through that every time you wanted to play with these. I just tuck the restraints under the edge of the mattress, and let the sheets cover up any evidence of them. That way when you are ready or some more torture, I mean action; all you have to do is pull them out from under the sheets and attach them to your victim.

These are great. They have been in place under my bed from the day I opened the package. No one has noticed or said anything about them being there. And most importantly, they are ready for play time with very little notice or preparation needed.

And like I said in my review, with the addition of the tethers they fit my King size bed perfectly. I have not noticed any wear on the material. And no broken parts. These have turned out to be a good purchase.
