A coffin is a large piece of bondage equipment sometimes found in some of the better equipped clubs and dungeons.
They tend to be similar in shape to a traditional hexagonal coffin (as seen in films), are padded inside and have a hinged and lockable lid. Depending on the design they can be used so the the victim is either standing up or lying down. Most designs have a hinged flaps on the lid/door at head, breasts, and genital height to allow the top access to the sub without having to release them.
There is a very strong D/s element about the use of coffins, apart from the strong imagery associated with then, when locked inside the submissive has very little room for movement, their body heat will quickly raise the temperature of the inside of the coffin. Because coffins do not stress or put pressure on any part of the body, providing that there is adequate ventilation they can be used for long bondage scenes.See Also
