Before we get into the fact that 99% of the movie occurred in her mind, we have to point out that she barely tried to escape. It was laughable! She pulled on the cuffs right away at the beginning, but then barely tried again. "Reinforced" wood or not, those bed posts were NOT thick and sturdy. They were skinny and very very breakable.
Also, why not roll her feet/legs up over her head and kick at the bed posts? Why not try to grasp the bed post with a leg and yank? Why not try violent up-and-down bouncing to hopefully loosen something up?
I mean, why to try escape when you can just imagine people talking to you instead?
