LOL, yes, that's why I was asking. It's odd the issues that come up when writing something a smutty as this. I want things to go well, the words right so they don't distract the reader from the fun. I choose to go with "thin mattress" with the idea that while "pallet" might work, it would throw too many people who didn't know the usage of the word.
Aww, first one to mention the puns. They were one of my favourite parts of this. I loved the Quidditch jokes.
Yeah, not going to be having needles there myself. I actually included the link because I knew someone would challenge the possibility of it if I didn't. Weird reality often inspires my fiction.
Glad you enjoyed it! I love this series and have at least one more in mind.
