You know you're into bondage when....you have your bathrobe belt tied to one side of the headboard, and one of the dogs leashes tied to the other side.

You know you're into bondage when....you leave those things there for anyone who comes in your room to see, because you use them so often that it just isn't worth the time to keep taking them off and on.

Yes....that was us....before we finally got the Sportsheets Under the Bed Restraint System.

I just wish we had found this years ago, so our kids wouldn't have known what we were up to.

The Sportsheets Under the Bed Restraint System is now one of my favorite toys!

It consists of four 60-inch restraint straps sewn down to a 60-inch connector strap. Picture a capital H laying sideways across your box springs. At the end of each strap is a metal O-ring for the cuffs to clasp on to, and is secured by a plastic clip that you use for tightening or loosening the straps once your partner is cuffed. All it takes is a simple tug and you've got them right where you want them. Which is great for adjusting how secured down or spread out you want your partner to be. Or, if it needs to be adjusted because you want to finally have a turn at being on the receiving end.

This system is easy to assemble and even easier to use. All you have to do to get started is take the mattress off the bed, lay it down so that the connector strap is laying vertically down the middle of the bed,and each wrist/ankle strap is horizontal. Put the mattress back, grab your partner, throw them (gently) on the bed, and give it a test run. It's that simple. The four wrist and ankle straps are included and already attached. This should fit any sized bed. We have a queen and it fits perfectly, with room to spare.

The included wrist and ankle straps are extremely comfortable while still doing a great job of making sure that whoever is tied down is not going anywhere, any time soon. They are made of a 2 inch wide, soft velvety fabric with a nylon strap sewn on top of it and Velcro at each end of the nylon strap. These should fit anyone. I have extremely skinny wrists and they fit me great. They will even fit a wrist or ankle up to 12 inches in circumference. The cuffs have metal O-rings with a spring loaded metal clasp, similar to a keyring clasp, for attaching to the system. The only thing even slightly negative I could say is that I would have preferred that the metal clasps had been on the system straps instead of the cuff straps. That way it could be used with any cuffs you already own or plan to own in the future. But I do also like the fact that having the clasps on the cuffs means that you can connect them to each other as well. Either way, I've already decided that should we come across that little problem I will just go to the hardware store and buy some additional clasps. Problem solved!

Now for the really fun stuff. You can leave the system in the H shape for spread eagle. But you can also move the wrist and ankle straps to the top and bottom of the bed for a different position. Or, with the straps coming from the sides, you can choose to only restrain the wrists or just the ankles. Another thing we found we love is that we also used the Sportsheets thigh cuffs (not included) attached to the ankle straps and it worked great.

And the best part....when you're all done playing with this, you don't need to remove it and no one will be the wiser. Just tuck the straps, with the cuffs still attached, under the bed or mattress and you're good to go the next time you're in the mood to tie your lover down.

I really do still love this and I think my husband loves it even more than I do. Let me tell you it makes restraining someone very convenient, maybe too convenient. He has been having quite a bit of fun using these on me lately. And he has been using them a lot!

The whole system still works great and is showing no signs of wear and tear whatsoever.

One thing I did notice recently is that, during the heat of the moment I was able to lift both sides of the mattress with my arms a little bit. Now I'm a 120lb weakling so if you feel that this might be an issue you can put the straps under the box springs instead of the mattress. We probably won't worry about that. I think for us it was mostly a fluke, like an orgasmic super power that kicked in and disappeared again once it was over. hahaha!
