My misspent youth benefits me for the first time ever!
I never knew that was a thing... Thanks!
It's a weird one if you are used to just the wooden slats, but I think it's kind of more comfy. Problem is, got to keep the ropes tightened up proper or else you could wind up sinking in the middle. Think like a really big hammock.

And you need a proper mattress or you wake up with a nice pattern on your back (or elsewhere). And too energetic activities by heavy people... should be avoided.
And how to know what too energetic and too heavy is.. you will know right afterwards.
That kind of bed was actually not uncommon in German youth hospitals way until the 70s.

Probably TTL as well. Chain smoker and fairly heavy social drinker who died of heart disease OTL. Liked rich creamy food as well. Not a poster child for the healthy lifestyle
I mean, there's a couple of bondage jokes here to be made, but my hands are tied on this
I'm an "energetic" sleeper. I move a lot. The fact the thing never snapped under me when I slept on it is only because I was a hell of a lot lighter back then.
Irish religious retreat in the mid 00's myself.
It's a great way to make a bed. The one I had growing up was built like that.
Wow...never knew that. When I was a kid my bed was on an old wrought-iron frame then I went onto slats so...
It sounds comfy if done right alright

Good one.Now that has me imagining in a future update Louis calling looking for Kiki, Ben answering the phone and going ‘Ahhhh...no, All-Highest, Kiki can’t come to the phone she’s really busy...yeah, she’s really tied up with a few things...’
One place I rented, the slats on the old bed broke a couple of months in. Whoever was there before had broken them then propped them up with something so they didn’t have to lose their deposit...

It can be. The important thing is making sure the ropes work proper.

More likely the ropes snap underneath the pair of them honestly. Then again, if P-M decides he wants to joke with us, that's up to him. Though I'm pretty sure Ben answering any phonecall from Louis while staying with Kiki would be full of enough awkward humour to entertain us.
Then again, I seriously doubt Rommel's rustic hideaway (and by that I don't mean the main house) has a phone. Truth be told, I'm basically picturing a high-quality army billet as the building as opposed to a civilian building, basically what Kat stayed in back when she was going through Commando school, but with a couple more comforts to fit a General. Also nice that there is a big open field there, makes for a nice place for a helicopter to land when the inevitable crises kicks off and someone decides to secure Kiki's location, either with the Para's or local mountain boys being sent in.
If they feck up her security one more time, Antarctica will be getting a whole plane full of former royal bodyguards as new staff.
My current much abused (not in that way you pervs) bedframe has broken slats at the moment. The solution for me was to take about half an old door and nail it in as new slats, coupled with a good thick Ikea mattress.
...I really need a new bed at some stage. Thank God I have a job these days.
I have also slept on that type of bed.
I'll take rope and wood slats any day of the week.
Same here. At a camp that got nearly everything from military surplus.
I have one of those on standby in the basement in case one of the kids seems to be enjoying life a little too much.
Haven't seen something like that since my last time at the Hans Herr House. (From the first frontier Amish land grant, a living history museum).
That's why I added the qualifier "largely". And I tend to use recruit-proof similar to "waterproof" watches. It is proof up to a certain point, after which shenanigans happen.
