Team Great Britain diver Tom Daley has posted a video of the cardboard bed that's being used by athletes at the Paris Olympic village.
The 30-year-old, from Plymouth, won his fifth Olympic medal on Monday as he and partner Noah Williams collected silver in the men's synchronised 10m platform final.
Daley, who was persuaded to come out of retirement ahead of this summer's Games following a two-year break, produced six superb dives alongside Williams, 24.

But after finishing on a very respectable score of 463.44 points, the pair were beaten by unstoppable Chinese duo Lian Junjie and Hao Yang.
"It's just so special. To be here, in Paris, diving in front of my son [Robbie], who actually asked me to come back, it's just so special," Daley told the BBC.
"He's six years old now and I think he might remember some of this. It completes the set. I now have one of every colour."

Ahead of the 10m platform final, Daley provided fans with regular updates on his social media channels.
And last week – after the recycled cardboard beds became a hot topic of debate amongst competitors – the diver posted a 30-second review of the structure made by Japanese company Airweave.
"There is always a lot of talk about the beds in the Olympic Village, so here is what they look like!" he wrote, before sharing further details in the video.
As seen in the clip above, the French phrase "Revez vos exploits de demain," which translates to "Dream about your achievements of tomorrow", is displayed on the headboard.
The beds are also covered by a Paris 2024 Olympic duvet set, which Daley can be seen jumping up and down on."As you can see, they're pretty sturdy," he says.

It may surprise readers that the cardboard bed can support 250 kilograms of weight.
In fact, Irish gymnast Rhys McClenaghan executed a series of gymnastics routines on the structure without it collapsing, whilst Vincent Leygonie, a South African cyclist, performed BMX tricks on it.
According to organisers, athletes are allowed to choose the firmness of the mattress. They can also extend it based on their size.
