Athletes in 2021 dubbed the beds “anti-sex,” enjoying on a long-standing rumor that the Olympic Village is a hotbed for hookups amongst rivals. However Olympic organizers say that the beds’ true focus is sustainability on the notoriously environmentally harsh occasion.

“These sustainable beds are 100% made in France and will be fully recycled in France after the Games,” in response to a video posted to the Olympics’ official YouTube channel.

The cardboard base’s size may be adjusted to account for every athlete’s peak, and the “mattress” consists of three modules that may be flipped to alter firmness in response to every particular person’s choice.

On social media, Olympians arriving in Paris examined out the beds and left numerous evaluations about their high quality.

Australian water poloist Matilda Kearns wrote on TikTok that she “already had a massage to undo the damage” of the mattress, which she stated was “rock solid” even on the softest setting.

Kearns stated her supervisor rushed to get the workforce mattress toppers to enhance workforce members’ sleep.

British diver Tom Daley recorded himself leaping up and down on the mattress, confirming the durability of the construction.
