Sportsheets
Sportsheets is a woman-owned and woman-operated adult toy and bondage brand founded in 1993 in Huntington Beach, California. The company grew from a single product — the original Sportsheet, a Velcro-covered bed sheet that enables restraint play without permanent ties, specifically designed so the restrained partner can get free at any time. From that founding product, Sportsheets has expanded into over 300 specialty items covering bondage restraints, harnesses, strap-ons, collars, nipple clamps, blindfolds, floggers, ticklers, sex swings, and more. The brand has been twice named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies and is recognised globally for making bondage and restraint play accessible, consent-centred, and comfortable for couples.

About Sportsheets
Sportsheets was born from a specific insight: most restraint systems at the time required being tied up with ropes or cuffs in a way that made it difficult or impossible for the restrained person to get free on their own. The original Sportsheet solved this by using Velcro — the restrained partner could pull free at any moment without needing to be released by their partner. This design philosophy, of making bondage play feel safe and consensual by ensuring the restrained person retains a degree of agency, has remained central to Sportsheets products and brand values for over 30 years.
CEO Julie Stewart, who took over operations from her brother Tom (the brand's founder) in 1999, has led Sportsheets with an explicit focus on women's sexual exploration and the desires of underserved markets. The brand has consistently positioned bondage and restraint play as something approachable, mutually enjoyable, and grounded in communication and consent rather than as a niche or intimidating category.
Sportsheets has been twice named to the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies, reflecting the brand's commercial success and the growing mainstream acceptance of bondage-adjacent sexual exploration products.
Sportsheets Product Range
The original Sportsheet and Sportsheet system remain the brand's signature products. The Sportsheet is a bed-sized sheet covered in soft Velcro loops that pairs with Velcro-padded wrist and ankle cuffs included in the set. The cuffs attach to the sheet surface at any position, allowing infinite adjustment of restraint position on the bed. Because the cuffs are held by Velcro rather than locked or tied, the restrained person can pull free at any time without needing to be released. This is the core safety design of the original product that made it particularly popular with people who wanted to explore restraint play but were concerned about feeling genuinely trapped. Browse the full BDSM gear collection for the complete Sportsheets range.
Bondage restraints are Sportsheets' most extensive category beyond the original Sportsheet. The range covers under-bed restraint systems, wrist and ankle cuffs, door-frame restraints, hogtie connectors, and bondage kits that provide a complete first-time bondage setup in a single purchase. These restraints are designed to be secure enough to feel genuinely restraining while including release mechanisms that allow safe removal without needing scissors or tools.
Strap-on harnesses and compatible dildos are a significant part of the Sportsheets range, with harnesses in different styles including jockstrap, brief, and thigh formats, and a compatible dildo range in various sizes. Browse the full strap-ons collection for Sportsheets strap-on products alongside other options.
BDSM accessories from Sportsheets cover bondage collars and leashes, nipple clamps, ball gags, blindfolds, floggers, ticklers, paddles, whips, crops, and Wartenberg wheels. The range is one of the most comprehensive in the accessible BDSM accessories market and covers everything from very gentle sensory play accessories to more intense BDSM implements.
Sex swings and sex furniture positioning aids are also part of the Sportsheets range, designed for couples who want to explore positions and sexual play that standard positioning does not allow.
Who Buys Sportsheets Products
Couples exploring bondage and restraint play for the first time frequently choose Sportsheets because the brand's approachable design philosophy and the specific safety-release mechanism of the Sportsheet system address the most common concern beginners have about restraint play — that the restrained person won't be able to get free if they want to. Sportsheets products make this concern part of the product design rather than something to manage separately.
Women who want to explore being restrained but on their own terms buy Sportsheets products specifically because the brand was designed from the beginning with the restrained person's comfort and agency in mind. The brand's woman-led history and consistent focus on women's pleasure is a meaningful differentiator for buyers who care about brand values alongside product quality.
Couples buying their first strap-on harness buy Sportsheets because the brand's harness range is well-reviewed, broad, and comes with the same approachable, quality-focused positioning as the rest of the range.
Experienced BDSM practitioners buy Sportsheets for specific accessories in the comprehensive bondage gear range, particularly for the quality of their restraint systems, collars, and sensation play accessories.
Choosing Sportsheets Products
The Sportsheet system is the best starting point for first-time bondage couples. The Velcro-based system is the easiest and safest introduction to restraint play available. The restrained person's ability to pull free at any time removes the need to negotiate release mechanisms during play, and the infinite positioning flexibility of the Velcro system means the couple can experiment with different positions on the bed without resetting the restraint. For couples who want to try restraint play but are nervous about full restraint, the Sportsheet is the most accessible entry point.
Under-bed restraint systems are the next step beyond the Sportsheet. For couples who want restraint without the full bed sheet, under-bed restraint systems slide under the mattress with straps that emerge at the sides to attach wrist and ankle cuffs. These provide secure four-point restraint that works on any bed without requiring any permanent installation and stores flat under the mattress between uses.
Check harness style before purchasing for strap-on use. Sportsheets produces harnesses in jockstrap, brief, and thigh styles. Each works for different bodies, positions, and preferences. Read the style descriptions before purchasing to confirm which type suits the way you intend to use it.
BDSM accessories range from sensory play to more intense implements. The Sportsheets BDSM accessory range spans a very wide intensity range. Ticklers and blindfolds are gentle sensory play tools suited to beginners. Floggers, paddles, and crops deliver more intense physical sensation. Understand where on the intensity spectrum the specific product you are considering falls before purchasing, and start toward the gentler end of any new category before exploring more intense options.
Looking After Sportsheets Products
Clean Sportsheets fabric restraints and the Sportsheet material by hand washing with mild detergent and allowing to air dry. Velcro surfaces should be checked after washing for any lint or debris caught in the loops, which can be removed with a soft brush. Do not tumble dry Velcro-covered products as heat can damage the Velcro adhesion.
Clean synthetic leather and faux leather cuffs, collars, and accessories with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge these in water. Allow to dry fully before storage. Check all hardware including D-rings, buckles, and snap closures periodically for any signs of wear, bending, or loosening, and retire any hardware that shows structural weakness.
Store Sportsheets products in a dry location away from sunlight. Velcro-padded cuffs should be stored with the cuff padded side facing away from the Velcro sheet to prevent the cuffs from self-attaching and being difficult to separate during use.
Goes Well With
A good quality blindfold pairs naturally with the Sportsheet restraint system, removing visual input for the restrained partner and intensifying the sensation of every touch during the session. Sportsheets produces blindfolds as part of the accessory range that complement the Sportsheet system directly.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Sportsheet and how does it work?
The Sportsheet is the founding product of Sportsheets International. It is a bed-sized sheet covered in soft Velcro loops that pairs with Velcro-padded wrist and ankle cuffs. The cuffs attach to the Velcro surface of the sheet at any position on the bed, allowing the restrained partner to be positioned with their wrists and ankles secured anywhere on the sheet surface. Because the cuffs are held by Velcro rather than locked or tied, the restrained person can pull free at any time without needing to be released by their partner. This safety-release mechanism was the key innovation that made the Sportsheet particularly popular, especially with women who wanted to explore restraint play while retaining the ability to get free on their own terms.
Is Sportsheets a good brand for people new to bondage?
Yes. Sportsheets was founded specifically to make bondage and restraint play accessible, comfortable, and safe for couples who are new to it. The original Sportsheet's Velcro release system addresses the most common concern beginners have about restraint by ensuring the restrained person can always pull free. The brand's broader product range maintains this approachable philosophy, with bondage kits designed as complete first-time setups and accessories that cover a wide intensity range from very gentle sensory play through to more intense implements. The brand's woman-led history and consistent focus on women's pleasure and underserved markets also resonates with buyers who want a brand whose values match their own.
What types of bondage products does Sportsheets make?
Sportsheets makes over 300 specialty bondage and adult products including the original Sportsheet Velcro bed restraint system, under-bed restraint systems, wrist and ankle cuffs, door-frame restraints, hogtie connectors, complete bondage kits, strap-on harnesses and compatible dildos, bondage collars and leashes, nipple clamps, blindfolds, ball gags, floggers, ticklers, paddles, whips, crops, Wartenberg wheels, and sex swings. The range covers everything from first-time sensory play accessories through to comprehensive bondage setups for more experienced practitioners.
How does the Sportsheets under-bed restraint system work?
The under-bed restraint system consists of two long straps that slide under the mattress with connectors that emerge at the sides of the bed. Wrist and ankle cuffs attach to these connectors via adjustable straps, creating a four-point restraint setup on the bed surface. The straps hold the restrained person's wrists and ankles at the corners or sides of the bed depending on how the straps are positioned. The system requires no permanent installation, stores flat under the mattress between uses, and works on any standard bed. It provides a more contained and secure restraint than the Sportsheet system while being more discreet and easier to store.
Is Sportsheets woman-owned?
Yes. Sportsheets International is woman-owned and woman-operated under CEO Julie Stewart, who joined the company in 1999 and has led it ever since. Julie's leadership has been explicitly focused on women's sexual exploration and wellness, and the brand's product range and values reflect this orientation. Under her leadership Sportsheets has been twice named to the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies and has grown from a small garage operation into a globally recognised brand with over 300 specialty products.
