Why I Chose It
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love these bed restraints. Ever since I got them, they’ve been a permanent fixture on my bed, ready to go anytime the moment strikes!
I really appreciate the plain black design as I much prefer something simple and unobtrusive. It’s also great that they simply tuck under the mattress when not in use.
I’ve worn these for extended sessions and been extremely comfortable in them. I’ve found them mostly secure, although the attachment straps can move around slightly if you squirm a lot.
For regular restraints, I tend to prefer buckles over velcro, but in this case, I actually really like it because it’s so quick to get the cuffs on. I also love the moment my partner tightens the straps… that’s when the real fun begins!

- 4 velcro cuffs
- Tie straps to attach to bed-frame
- Velvety eye mask
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Unintimidating and beginner-friendly
- ✅ Comfortable to wear
- ✅ Straps can be used on bed or other furniture
Cons
- ❌ Not the strongest restraints
- ❌ Restraints need to be tied to restraint points
- ❌ Blindfold feels cheap
Why I Chose It
At under $30, these have to be some of the cheapest bed restraints they are! While I wouldn’t say they are the strongest, they certainly get the job done!
Although our reviewer, Moe, and his partner hadn’t really explored bondage before, they found it “a lot of fun trying new things.” He also commented that “It didn’t take very long for [him] to be comfortable with being lightly bound.”
He liked that the “soft cuffs are functional, comfortable, and close with simple hook-and-loop.” I would say this is makes this a very beginner-friendly set. Although he said the blindfold felt a little cheap, he was surprised by how the “inability to anticipate where she was going next made each touch sizzle.”
The main difference between these sex straps and the others in the review is that you need to tie them to restraint points, like a bed frame. While I like that this makes them more versatile (you can tie them to anything you like), it does mean they take a little more time to set up each time.

- Four velcro cuffs
- X-shape under mattress
- Blindfold
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Easy to install and adjust
- ✅ Will fit most mattresses
- ✅ Comes with a storage bad
- ✅ Detachable cuffs can be used separately
Cons
- ❌ Not the most secure restraints
- ❌ Might not fit beds larger than queen size
- ❌ Silver design won't suit all tastes
Why I Chose It
I think the silver design and velcro cuffs of the Fifty Shades of Grey Hard Limits Bed Restraints make them a great, un-intimidating beginner bed restraints set!
Our tester Rachel, who describes herself as a bondage beginner also agrees! She tested them out with her partner and found them to be “a fantastic introduction to the world of full-body restraint.”
She loved that the set is “relatively easy to install” and “strapping someone into the restraints is also very easy.” However, she also noted that on their slightly bigger than queen size bed, the straps “were extended almost to their longest point” but still worked comfortably. This is worth keeping in mind if your bed is bigger than queen size.
While she enjoyed using the set, Rachel “would have preferred plain black” restraints, and I have to say I agree. The silver design isn’t for me, but that really is a matter of preference!

- Buckle fastening leather wrist and ankle cuffs
- Two adjustable

Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Made for more advanced bondage
- ✅ Stronger straps and cuffs
- ✅ Seatbelt-style clasp is easy to undo
Cons
- ❌ Takes a bit of time to insert
- ❌ Mount straps have a bit of a learning curve
- ❌ Only fits double size beds
Why I Chose It
I chose to include the DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Under Mattress Restraints as it’s high quality restraint set that’s more suitable to advanced or heavy duty bondage. The leather buckling cuffs are more secure and require a higher level of trust and vulnerability that’s more suited to those with some bondage experience.
Britnee, tested them out for us and “absolutely loved adding this to play time,” commenting that they will “will definitely use it again!”
She loved that the bed restraints were “easy to assemble, versatile, and portable” and that the “soft leather of the cuffs were comfortable.”
This set also stands out to me as being more versatile, and Britnee enjoyed that the multiple “rings and carabiners allow for many different positions.”
The real consideration with these bed straps is that according to the Lovehoney website. it’s only designed to fit up to a double bed, which is limiting.

Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Will fits up to king size bed
- ✅ Relatively strong
- ✅ Comes with a storage bag
Cons
- ❌ Glossy design deteriorates with use
- ❌ Will need to make more holes for smaller wrists/ankles
- ❌ One of the more expensive bed restraints
Why I Chose It
I think these are a great intermediate level set of bed restraints. They are still intimidating in design but the buckle fastenings give them a bit more security.
Our tester, Cassie, “absolutely adore[d] the reversible feature in the cuff design” and really liked “the that the buckle fastenings on the cuffs make for a more advanced BDSM experience” compared to velcro. She was also impressed by “how easy it is to install, and how lightweight, portable, and versatile it is.”
She was also impressed by the size inclusivity of the cuffs, commenting that she “really appreciate[d) the multiple levels of adjustability in the cuffs and the strap”
The versatility of these sex straps also stood out as big pro as it has “four optional fastening points, two additional connecting chains” that give you more bondage opportunities than other sets.
While Cassie was overall very happy with this bed restraint kit, she commented that the higher price felt a bit like “paying for the brand moreso than the value of the product.”

How to Choose the Right Bed Restraints For You
Sex bed straps can all look pretty similar, so I’ve put together a few considerations to help you find the best ones for you!
Experience Level
- Beginner — I always recommend starting with velcro cuffs as a beginner as they are less intimidating, easier to use, and you can get out of them yourself. The Sportsheets Under the Bed Restraint System, and Fifty Shades of Grey Hard Limits both have velcro fastenings.
- Intermediate — If you want something a little more secure I recommend the Fifty Shades of Grey Sweet Anticipation Set, which has buckle fastenings on the cuffs.
- Advanced — If you are looking for more advanced, high security bed restraints that can with stand a bit of tugging, I would definitely go for the DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Under Mattress Restraints.
Bed Size
While most bed restraints are designed to fit most standard bed sizes, there are some that have size restrictions.
- The DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Under Mattress Restraints are only designed to fit beds up to a double-size bed. Based on our reviewers experience.
- The Fifty Shades of Grey Hard Limits Bed Restraint Kit, might not work well on beds above Queen size.
A Bondage Kit with Bed Restraints
If you are looking broaden your bondage horizons or try full-body bondage for the first time, a kit that comes with a few different items can be a good idea, as provides a little more structure to the experience. I personally think this takes some of the pressure of and makes it easier to explore with your partner.
Lovehoney Bind Date Bondage Kit
This cute bondage kit comes with everything you need for a kinky night exploring bondage and a little sensation play! I love that once you’ve got your partner tied up using the sex straps, you’ve got the tools to tease them too!
Here’s what you get in the Bind Date Bondage Kit:
- Four silk restraints
- Under bed sex straps
- Bullet vibrator
- Feather tickler
- Silky blindfold
- Sexy dice
- Kama Sutra playing cards
Types of Fastening Mechanisms on Sexual Restraints
The choice of fastening mechanism can drastically impact your BDSM experience.
Again, some mechanisms are much ore suitable for beginners, while advanced users crave extreme solutions. Let’s compare the most common ones!
Velcro
- Pros: Ideal for beginners. Velcro restraints are easy to adjust and remove. Comfortable to wear.
- Cons: May not provide a strong sense of restraint, less durable.
Buckles
- Pros: Buckles offer a higher level of security and stronger sense of restraint. Authentic BDSM aesthetic.
- Cons: Can be difficult to adjust and remove in the moment, higher level of restraint can lead to potential discomfort.
Lock and Key
- Pros: Provides a very strong sense of restraint, can add a psychological element of control.
- Cons: Potential for accidental lock-ins, can be difficult to remove quickly.
Under Mattress vs Over Mattress Restraints
When looking for some light bondag options that involve tying your partner down to the mattress, you have the option to retrain them above or below the mattress.
Under-mattress systems are great since they can be used on any type of bed (even those without bedposts), whereas over mattress setups require bedposts or a bedframe to tie your BDSM restraints to.
If you’re using ropes to tie up your partner, the process will be significantly more time-consuming than using under-the-mattress sex bed straps. However, some people enjoy learning and executing new types of knots!
Also, by tying the restraints yourself, you will have more options to work with than you would from using a pre-made set of sex straps.
Ultimately, which option you should choose depends on your bed & the level of time you’re willing to spend restraining your partner.
