Fakir's board (3,2,5)

I believe the answer is:

bed of nails

(Other definitions for bed of nails that I've seen before include "Situation that's difficult for some" , "Snob failed (anag) - extremely difficult situation" , "Uncomfortable situation" , "Fakir's resting place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
