Bondage Boutique Black Rose Under Mattress Restraint Kit Review
Rae Moss
- want a stay-in-place restraint kit
- want to dive into your BDSM sessions without having to set up restraints
- want four-point adjustable restraints
- want something really heavy-duty to fight against
- want a really good blindfold - this one is basic
- want locking cuffs - these ones don't lock
The restraint is made of webbing and has four restraint points which are designed to create an anchor point at each corner of your bed. This lays permanently under your mattress. It also incudes padded wrist and ankle cuffs which buckle closed and a basic blindfold. It seems designed to restrain someone on their back in the starfish position but there's no reason why you can't get creative and clip both hands to one corner. You could event tie rope to each anchor point (to extend the reach) and clip your wrists to the bottom corners of the bed and your ankles to the top corners.
Installation
Mattresses are heavy! That was my main learning point from the installation of the under-bed restraint. I was sweating and heavy-breathing and that was before we got to the kink! We all know that sex can be solo or multi-player but installing the under-mattress kit definitely needed two people. The kit was easy to adjust and would fit any size bed. The anchor points emerged from each corner and the weight of the mattress holds it all safely in place.The accessories
The cuffs are good quality and sturdy. They’re padded and adjustable and comfortable to wear. They buckle closed and then they’re secured to the restraint kit with small metal clips. They probably wouldn’t be strong enough to hold down an angry body-builder but they’re well-made and nice quality and can cope with a bit of struggling. The blindfold which comes with the kit is fairly basic. It’s nice to have it but it’s pretty tight and you wouldn’t want to wear it for long. If you want a blindfold for long sessions, buy a better one separately.Fun without prep
My favourite thing about these sex bed straps is that you can play restraint games with no prep. It’s all in place already and all you need to do is reach for the cuffs. It allowed spontaneous kink which was fun.A friendly safety note
Restraining someone is huge fun but never leave them alone, even for a minute. Read about positional asphyxia so you can avoid tying someone in a position that makes it tricky for them to breathe. Generally just bear in mind that someone who lets you restrain them is placing power in your hands and, to misquote Spider-man’s uncle, “With great BDSM comes great responsibility”.
This is a really nicely-made kit. The restraint is strong, adjustable and easy to use. The cuffs are good quality and comfortable. The blindfold is a bit basic so just put that to one side and enjoy the rest. It's well-designed and I'd recommend it.
The kit was simple to install (although lifting a mattress is a two-person job) and easy to adjust. The cuffs work really nicely and the whole thing was very simple. The cuffs close with buckles which could be tricky for someone with reduced manual dexterity, but there are other products in the same range where the cuffs close with velcro.
The under-bed restraint kit is good quality. I was particularly please with the cuffs because they were padded and nice to wear (even for long periods). It's sturdy and really simple to use. The cuffs feel luxurious to wear.
The kit is really good value and I'd definitely recommend it (let's not mention the super-tight blindfold!)
The restraint kit works really well and it's been lots of fun. It's great that it's ready-to-play-with all the time so we don't have to plan ahead if we want to restrain each other. It feels really nice quality and I think we'll get loads of use out of it.
The kit comes in a clear plastic bag. It'd be nice if the packaging was slightly higher end so you feel like you're opening something really special.
The restraint is made of webbing and the cuffs are lined. It could be tricky to clean if they got covered in large amounts of body fluid or lube.

This lightweight but well-made under-mattress restraint kit comes with wrist and ankle cuffs and a blindfold. Once it's in place under the mattress you can secure your partner to the bed at a moment's notice! It's well-made and very reasonably priced. I'd really recommend this kit!
