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'''. | A '''vacuum bed''', commonly called a '''vac bed''' or '''vac rack''', 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.

The risk of damage to the ears can be reduced by using ear plugs and/or an airtight hood, such as a latex hood, inside the vac bed. Instructing the sub to use the [[wikipedia:Valsalva_maneuver|Valsalva]] or the [[wikipedia:Frenzel_maneuver|Frenzel]] method to equalize pressure inside the ear may be useful. | The risk of damage to the ears can be reduced by using wax or silicone ear plugs and/or an airtight hood, such as a latex hood, inside the vac bed.

* 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>. | * 2012 - Matt (also known as Mad_Scientist) died in a vac bed self-play scene.
