The Sportsheets Under the Bed Restraint System turns any bed into a bondage bed in a few minutes, with no hooks, screws or headboard needed. One center connector strap slides under the mattress, the weight of the mattress holds it in place, and four adjustable cuffs attach to the ends for wrists, ankles or both.
Sportsheets invented the original Under the Bed Restraint System, and it’s still one of the simplest ways for couples to try restraint play. Set it up for a spread-eagle position, tie just the wrists, or use the sides and foot of the bed. When you’re done, tuck the strap under the mattress or pack it for a trip.

HOW THE UNDER THE BED RESTRAINT SYSTEM WORKS
Most bed restraints need posts, a headboard or rails to tie onto. This one uses the bed itself. The strap runs across the frame or box spring under the mattress, so the mattress weight pins it down, and the strap ends come out wherever you want the cuffs.
That means the Under the Bed Restraint System works on platform beds, divans and beds with no headboard at all. Pull the ends out at the corners for a four-point spread, or bring them out along the sides and foot of the bed for different positions.
HOW TO SET IT UP
- Lift the mattress on one side and lay the center strap across the frame or box spring.
- Lower the mattress back down so it sits on top of the strap.
- Pull the ends out at the corners or sides where you want the cuffs.
- Attach the cuffs and adjust the strap length so there’s a little slack, not a stretch.
- Fasten the cuffs snugly with the hook and loop, leaving room for one or two fingers underneath.
PLAY SAFELY
- Agree on a safe word or signal before you start, and check in often.
- Never leave a restrained partner alone, not even for a minute.
- Watch for numbness, tingling or cold hands and feet, and loosen the cuffs right away if they appear.
- Keep the cuffs on wrists and ankles only, never around the neck.
- Keep a pair of safety scissors nearby, just in case.

CLEANING AND CARE

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do you install an under the bed restraint system?
Lift one side of the mattress, lay the center strap across the bed frame or box spring, and let the mattress back down on top of it. Pull the strap ends out at the sides or corners where you want the cuffs, adjust the length, then attach the cuffs. It takes a few minutes and needs no tools.
Will the Under the Bed Restraint System fit my bed?
Sportsheets says the strap slides under any size mattress, from a twin up to a king. Because the strap is adjustable, you can take up the slack on a smaller bed.
What size wrists and ankles do the cuffs fit?
Sportsheets lists the cuffs as fitting wrists and ankles from 4 to 12 inches around. They close with hook-and-loop, so you can set them snug or loose.
Does it need hooks or a bed frame?
No. The weight of the mattress holds the strap in place, so there’s nothing to screw in, no headboard needed and no marks left on your bed.
What is a 4-point restraint bed?
It’s a setup that holds both wrists and both ankles, usually spread toward the four corners of the bed. The Sportsheets Under the Bed Restraint System gives you that with any bed, and you can also use just two cuffs for wrists only.
Is the Under the Bed Restraint System good for beginners?
Yes. It’s one of the easiest ways to try bondage as a couple: the cuffs are soft and adjustable, the hook-and-loop closures come off quickly, and there are no knots to learn.
How tight should the cuffs be?
Snug enough that a hand or foot can’t slip out, but loose enough to fit one or two fingers under the cuff. If your partner feels numbness, tingling or cold fingers or toes, loosen or remove the cuffs right away.
Can I take it with me when I travel?
Yes. Sportsheets designed it to be portable. The strap and cuffs fold up small enough to pack for a weekend away.
What is it made of?
Sportsheets lists 74% polypropylene, 10% polyester, 8% nickel-free metal, 5% hook and loop and 3% ABS plastic.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. The Under the Bed Restraint System is backed by Sportsheets’ Limited Lifetime Warranty.
