A '''vac bed''' is a [[bondage]] device designed to immobilize a user by using negative pressure to create a constriction between two layers of material, typically [[latex]] or plastic. While the name refers to the most common design of a large horizontal surface, other construction methods also exist, such as '''vac cubes''' and '''vac towers'''. | |||

As a bondage device, a vac bed has the usual risks of immobilization further detailed in the article [[bondage]]. In addition: | |||
* Negative pressure may cause damage to the ears, causing a rupture of the ear drum. | |||
* Using loud machinery to generate negative pressure may make it difficult to notice signals of distress. | |||
* Many vac bed designs incorporate a small opening for breathing, which may become obstructed. | |||
* Consumer-grade vacuum cleaners are usually designed to cool themselves with airflow. Using them to operate a vac bed may cause overheating and malfunctions. | |||

* 2012 - Matt (also known as Mad_Scientist) died in a vac bed self-play scene. The cause of death was a vasovagal response caused by the pressure exerted by the neck seal of the vac bed on his neck<ref>{{Cite web |title=RIP, Matt |url=https://kinkengineering.tumblr.com/post/24006986572/rip-matt}}</ref>. | |||
