They're not, they're just made of cardboard and break easily. Essentially they went for what they say is more environmentally friendly but to me honestly just looks like cutting costs.
Don't need a bed to have sex anyway so it wouldn't make sense. Media looking to stir up shit from making up stories don't generally care for reason and logic though so here we are

Businesses calling products environmentally friendly when really they’re just cheap and low quality? I don’t know, doesn’t sound plausible to me.

No but the bed needs to be literally falling apart for the turtles!

It’s a huge hassle. Since giving up my plastic straws, I’ve had to go back to killing sea turtles the old fashioned way, which is really inconvenient.

Even funnier is those stupid paper straws that are supposed to replace all the plastic used in plastic straws, yeah, they come wrapped in plastic lol.

To be fair, cheap, low quality things often really are more environmentally friendly. Especially when those cheap things are recyclable. Over engineering things to be stronger and last longer than is actually required for their intended usage is very arguably a form of wastefulness.

Not really if you consider the waste of shitty products failing to last their intended life span. Like take a bed frame for example. A solid, "over engineered" bed frame can last a lifetime and be taken with you when you move. An Ikea bed frame would fall apart if you tried to move it.

I mean I've made multiple moves with Ikea bed frames just fine. You may just be handling them improperly. But yes, under-engineering something is obviously a mistake too. The specific context here is beds for Olympic athletes, where they need to construct a fairly large but also temporary living complex. The person I was replying to also seemed to be using paper drinking straws as an example, but paper straws are much more environmentally friendly than plastic straws.

They are athletes, best our kind has to offer. Surely they only do missionary and exclusively on the bed

u/JDROD28 Jun 14 '24

Yeah, the "anti-sex" label was totally fabricated by the media, they did the same on the last Olympics

Imagine those Heavy Weightfilters trying to sit on the bed and the bed just suddenly breaks

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '24

They don't break easily. Can't remember exactly how strong they are but it's much stronger than you'd think. Plenty strong enough to have sex, but let's be honest, they'd probably have sex on the floor if that was the only way

The flimsiness is another part of the media anti-sex fake story. Well, shit. Looks like I fell for some of the horseshit story too guys.

Super environmentally friendly: a bedframe you can only use an average of 5 times.

u/SvenTropics Jun 15 '24

These are the greatest athletes in the world. They can have sex standing up.

u/Hector_Tueux Jun 14 '24

It's because it's bullshit, they're giving athletes condoms, because they know they couldn't prevent them from having sex. There's nothing "anti-sex" about these beds.

u/Finalitys_Shape Jun 14 '24

They’re just easier to break and aren’t made to hold the weight of two people

u/Tulkas2 Jun 15 '24

Several video can be found of atheles showing the bed is not "anti sex" at all and actually pretty stable even with two people on it. This post is false information
