We’ve reached the penultimate day! This year’s Lovehoney advent calendar day-by-day unboxing is almost over. In case you’re new here, I’ve been reviewing the 24-day adult advent calendar from Lovehoney and Womanizer, which retails for £149 at Lovehoney UK and $199 at Lovehoney US and contains £457/$530 worth of products.

Day 23? Let’s do it.

Lovehoney Advent Calendar 2024 Day #23: Under-Mattress Restraints

Today’s item is a set of under-mattress restraints with clips to attach cuffs at each corner. These four-way restraints are designed to fit under your mattress, which then anchors them in place. Use in conjunction with the wrist cuffs from Day 8 and the ankle cuffs from Day 18 for a full set of restraints.

This set is similar to the Bondage Boutique Bound to Please Under-Mattress Restraints, which retail for £49.99 for a set including cuffs.

Pros

• Adjustable to use with all bed sizes, including my fabulous super-king
• Great way to try bedroom bondage if you want to tie someone to the bed but don’t have a metal bed frame or other suitable hard points.
• Easy to tuck them out of sight quickly if you need to without dismantling the whole set-up
• Strong and sturdy material
• Safe and easy introduction to bondage
• Pairs with the cuffs in this set or, if you prefer, you can upgrade to better cuffs and continue using the restraint kit

Cons

• I feel like the under-mattress restraints and pairs of cuffs should have been ONE item in the advent calendar, not three. Otherwise, no complaints.

Verdict

Overall, this is a great addition for the second-last day of the advent kit. I’m also pleasantly surprised to learn they will work with my giant bad, having assumed they wouldn’t. For people who are brand new to playing with bondage and restraint, they’re a safe and accessible place to start.
