The Sun: 'FAKE NEWS' Why are athletes sleeping on ‘anti-sex’ cardboard beds at 2024 Summer Games?

The 2024 Paris Summer Games have reintroduced the cardboard beds first seen at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Games, often called "anti-sex" beds. Initially designed to prevent COVID-19 spread, these beds were rumored to discourage intimacy due to their cardboard frames. However, these beds are not flimsy—they can support up to 600 pounds.

Airweave, the Japanese company behind these beds, focuses on sustainability and comfort. Their beds are made from recyclable cardboard and food-grade plastic that keeps the mattress cool and allows easy movement. Airweave has been providing beds for the Summer Games since 2008, and for Paris 2024, they will supply 16,000 beds. These beds are customizable with varying firmness levels to suit each athlete's preference.

President and CEO Motokuni Takaoka stated, "Airweave is proud to join the Paris 2024 partners’ family. We promise to contribute to the Paris 2024 sustainability goals through our social good bedding."

Athletes like Irish gymnast Rhys McClenaghan and British diver Tom Daley have tested and confirmed the beds' sturdiness. After the games, the beds will be recycled or donated, contributing to the sustainability goals of Paris 2024.
