Hello,
If you are now sleeping on a regular bed with the steel frame rails, here is something inexpensive and quick yet effective. You can take these off quickly and hide them away.
Take two twelve foot lengths of 3/8 rope and tie two butterfly knots about five feet apart, depending on your width of your bed, leaving tails several feet long off of each knot. The butterfly (link below) creates a loop in the middle of a rope. These knots will not slip in any direction including the loop. You can position the loops at the edges of the bed either on the top or to the sides of the mattress.

Tie the tail ends of one rope to the legs of the bed at the foot and the other to the frame at the head, stretching the rope very tight. If you take them on and off frequently, use a bowline on one end and a taut-line on the other. Tie the taut-line on the end with the longer tail. (If a bowline is too hard to tie use two half hitchs instead, but they are harder to untie once they have been pulled hard.)

Also called a Midshipman's knot, you can slide the taut-line to adjust the tension of the rope. Slide it tight while sitting on the bed and the mattress will be compressed so the rope will not move around, neither will your captive! You can tighten it at any time by sliding the whole knot while you pull the loop tighter with your other hand. This works like a pulley to double your pulling force while you slide the knot so you can make the rope so tight it will feel like a solid anchor point.
To hide, just loosen the tautline and untie, flip it under the bed and out of sight. Bowlines don't jam either so you can take them completely off just a easily.
Using a padlock on each loop, you can attach cuffs quickly. You can use a chain dog collar to add some slack length and to get that wonderful chain look and sound. You could just as easily tie rope or scarves or straps to the butterfly loops. If you travel, you could carry only rope and still be able to immobilize your partner on the bed yet have quick release.
If you have a wooden headboard already, there are some flush folding loops that screw to wood, you could use these out of sight and just add chain or rope when needed. Boat stores often sell ones that are nice looking and very strong, but most hardware stores have something like this. Some even mount flush if you have a router for insetting them.
Hope this helps until you can find a really great bed!
