Bed Restraints

Bed restraints attach to mattresses, bed frames, or headboards for bedroom bondage without drilling walls or installing permanent fixtures. Systems include under-mattress straps extending at bed corners, bedpost attachments using existing furniture, and headboard systems with multiple anchor points. These allow spread-eagle, partial restraint, or custom positions using standard beds.

About Bed Restraints

Bed restraint systems transform standard beds into bondage furniture without modifications. Under-bed straps slide beneath mattresses with clips extending at corners for wrist and ankle attachment. Bedpost systems use adjustable straps or cuffs wrapping around existing bed frame posts. Headboard attachments provide upper body anchor points while foot-of-bed systems handle legs. The advantage is portability and discretion—install before play, remove after, with no permanent changes to furniture.

These systems suit all experience levels. Simple two-point systems restrain wrists or ankles only. Four-point systems enable spread-eagle positioning with wrists and ankles extended. Advanced configurations include multiple attachment points per corner allowing varied arm and leg positions without reconfiguring entire systems.

Under-Bed Strap Systems

Flat straps (5–7 cm wide) slide under mattresses, anchoring through mattress weight. Straps extend from under each corner with adjustable-length tethers ending in clips or cuffs. Quality systems use heavy-duty nylon webbing supporting significant pulling force without sliding. The mattress must be lifted to install straps initially, then they remain in place indefinitely or remove easily when needed. Most systems adjust for twin through king-sized beds using extension straps or adjustable webbing.

Installation takes 5–10 minutes. Position straps perpendicular to bed edges, ensuring even spacing. Test by pulling hard on attachment points—straps should not slide from under mattress. Adjust tether lengths so restraint attachment occurs at comfortable positions when limbs extend naturally toward corners.

Bedpost Attachment Systems

These use adjustable straps wrapping around bed frame posts with D-rings or clips for restraint attachment. They suit beds with accessible corner posts—four-poster beds, metal frames with corner posts, or platform beds with raised corners. Velcro or buckle closures allow quick installation and removal. Bedpost systems provide more vertical anchor points than under-bed straps, enabling overhead wrist positioning or varied attachment heights for different body positions.

Headboard and Footboard Systems

Specialized straps attach to headboards using adjustable wraps or over-door-style hooks for upper body restraint. These work with solid headboards, slatted designs, or metal frames. Footboard systems similarly anchor ankle restraints. Some designs include multiple attachment points across headboard width, allowing varied arm positioning—wide spread, narrow, or angled. Door-jam-style systems adapted for beds provide similar versatility for headboards without permanent installation.

Compatibility Considerations

Platform beds without posts work with under-mattress systems but not bedpost attachments. Adjustable beds present challenges—mattress movement can shift under-bed straps. Memory foam mattresses are heavier, providing better anchor weight but harder to lift during installation. Storage beds with drawers underneath require checking that under-bed straps do not interfere with drawer operation. Measure bed dimensions before purchasing—some systems do not extend to king or California king sizes without additional extension straps.

Position Options

Spread-eagle extends all four limbs toward corners, creating maximum exposure and vulnerability. Partial restraint uses two points—wrists only, ankles only, or diagonal (one wrist, opposite ankle). Adjustable tether lengths allow comfortable extension without excessive pulling. Shorter tethers increase restriction; longer allow movement within bounds. Four-point systems with adjustable tethers offer most versatility, accommodating different body sizes and flexibility levels in the same system.

Safety and Monitoring

Check circulation every 10–15 minutes for spread-eagle positions stressing multiple joints. Test furniture stability before play—pull hard on all attachment points. Weak bed frames may not withstand bondage forces. Keep safety shears accessible to cut through restraints or straps. Ensure the bound person can reach a safe word signal (bell, squeezable toy) if verbal communication becomes difficult in face-down positions.

Comparison Table

Rigid Lower Body Options

While bed systems use flexible tethers, rigid restraints create different restriction dynamics. The Leg Irons collection provides metal ankle and thigh restraints attaching to bed system tethers, combining rigid lower body immobilization with flexible bed anchor positioning.

Fine Hand Restriction

Beyond wrist restraints in bed systems, preventing finger dexterity increases helplessness. The Thumb Cuffs range provides tiny restraints securing thumbs together, eliminating hand function even when wrists attach to bed corners at comfortable distances allowing some arm movement.

Doorway Alternatives

Bedroom bondage extends beyond beds themselves. The Door Restraints collection includes over-door systems and door-jam attachments creating standing bondage positions. These work with bed restraints by providing varied position options within the same room without requiring multiple furniture modifications.

Complete Restraint Systems

Bed systems provide attachment infrastructure but require compatible restraints. The Wrist and Ankle Shackles collection includes matched sets with clips and D-rings attaching directly to bed system tethers, ensuring hardware compatibility without adapter purchases.

Broader Bondage Context

Bed restraints represent furniture-integrated bondage within diverse equipment options. The Restraints collection includes portable cuffs, furniture systems, and specialized equipment. Understanding bed system benefits—no drilling, discretion, portability—versus limitations helps determine whether furniture-based bondage suits your space and privacy needs.

Bed restraints attach to mattresses, frames, and headboards creating bondage anchor points without permanent furniture modifications. Systems range from simple under-mattress straps to elaborate multi-point configurations enabling varied positions.
