Should the cutouts for the captive have some sort of padding? I was considering that for mine as I would actually like to be held in the middle rather than against the back side. Doing that may only be feasible with padding of some sort.
If the box is going to be laid down, the body weight of the captive is going to be borne by the edges. So the thickness of the edges needs considered. And yes, either there needs to be padding or there need to be enough points of support that the skin pressure's either not unbearable/damaging or is comfortable 😇 Me, I'm a big fan of comfortable bondage, personally. Or there need to be supporting pads behind the captive, a 'mattress'.
And the number of boards impacts the pressure. If you are going some encasement scene with 20 boards completely locking the captive in place, each board only holds up 5% or so of body weight - like the yogi sleeping on bed of nails trick.
Interesting part of having the boards be separate from the box is that they're interchangeable. So you could have padded boards for one scene, a set to hold the captive in the center of the box, a set to hold them in the back, a different board to hold hands up next to the head, etc.
When we talk about padding, it's important to think about the padding material. Pads are springs - the skin against the pad is pushed on over a large area with uniform pressure, because if a spot is sticking out, the padding deforms and moves away. But when the pad is fully compressed, then the resistance "bottoms out" and it's like there's no padding. Think of the difference between the cheap yellow foam rubber mattress and the stuff used to wrap hot water pipes.
I'd say for this application, the water pipe wrap is best.
Expanding upon the trestle idea, I wonder if building the box such that it can rotate via pivot points on each side would be useful or interesting in any way. If it were built with an attached stand in mind, imagine the top being able to lay you flat or turn you on your head with ease.
That's pretty much what this box does, with the proviso that it doesn't let you tilt the box beyond vertical. Maybe a tilt could be added to the trestle to do that.
Going to post this and then render a video of it in action.
