THE OLYMPIC so-called “anti-sex” beds are actually strong enough for threesomes, according to their inventor.
The beds used in the Olympic Village are made from cardboard and it was claimed they were not suitable for sex.
But inventor Motokuni Takaoka, who founded the Airweave mattress company, says the beds provide a good night’s sleep and are strong enough for three people.
He said: “I was a marathon runner so I appreciate how important it is to have a good sleep before an event.
“They would take two or three people with no worries. They are very robust. The cardboard base is very tough. They will cope with anything the athletes want to do with themselves or their friends.”
Paris Olympics chiefs installed the beds in a bid to avoid a repeat of the orgies that took place at previous Games.
The single frames made from cardboard were believed to be less sturdy than regular beds.
But athletes including Tom Daley have proved that theory wrong by carrying out rigorous testing on the beds.
Daley, who won synchronised diving silver in Paris, posted a clip showing him bouncing on the bed and the Team GB flag bearer described his bed as “pretty sturdy”.
In addition to Daley’s test, Irish athlete Rhys McClenaghan made a short video testing out the durability of the beds.

And as a gymnast he was able to perform several different techniques to help him deliver an informed verdict.
McClenaghan jumped up and down on the bed and did his most to dismantle the cardboard beds, but to no avail.
