Types Of Sex Furniture: From Ordinary To Extraordinary

Where to start

From sexy blankets and pillows to full-on sex cages and f*cking machines, sex furniture runs the gambit.

So how do you figure out what’s right for you? Ask yourself;

• Is the primary function of the toy to add spice to our sex life or comfort/safety?
• How much am I actually able and willing to spend?
• What’s the square footage I’m working with?
• Do I want something that I can use when I masturbate? Or something to use with my partner(s)?

She adds: “Before you purchase anything you want to use with your partner, you should probably also talk to them about what they want.

What is sex furniture?

Sex furniture is an amazing way to spice up your life and they come in all shapes, sizes for whether you live in a studio apartment or a mansion.

Sex furniture, also known as erotic or intimate furniture, is used to enhance your experience, support a sexual fantasy, or even assist in making some positions or moves possible that were difficult to do before due to flexibility, endurance, or a physical handicap.

If there is a certain sex position, fantasy, or movement that has been difficult to achieve, you can find the perfect erotic furniture design to make your experience splendid. A great piece of furniture can be the difference between making an experience just all right to absolutely wild.

Think this stuff will be too expensive or won’t fit inside your compact home? Think again. There is a piece of furniture for everything you can think of, at every price point…and even collapsible, hidden, and discrete furniture for those who want to hide their secret fantasies the next time their mother-in-law makes a surprise visit. From studio apartments to mansions, we’ve found the perfect piece for any setup and desire!

 

Love Pillow / The Wedge

When people think of furniture, one of the first things they may think of is the pillow. While you can use your usual pillow to prop your hips up to hit just the right spot, there are love cushions available that are angled specifically to prop yourself (or your partner) up to create your dream sex position.

If you want to be discrete, you can use the same pillow that’s sometimes sold for neck kinks, sleep apnea, or acid reflux, so anyone who comes into your bedroom will be none the wiser.

If you want something a bit more specific for sexy times, 

Some pillows are designed with sex toy mounts so you can place your favourite vibrator at the base for more positions to play.

Linens, pads, and throws

These aren’t about making your space snuggly-wuggly. They’re about easy cleanup.

Recommended for anyone who:

• squirts
• loves water sports
• enjoys period sex (or any blood play, for that matter)
• has multiple partners

“They allow you to have sex on the bed without having to change the sheets, or on the carpet, couch, counter, or anywhere else without worrying about stains.

 

Massage Oil Candles

While it’s not furniture, per se, candles do fall under the home category… and now also sex accessories.  There are clever candles made of massage oil, so when you light them up, you can drip the warmed oil on your partner! This wax doesn’t get very hot, and some of these candles are designed with spouts so you can control the release of the wax.

Shower toys

Whether your priority is safety or spice, there’s a shower sex aid for you. Mats, grip bars, and shower seats. Mats, grip bars, and shower seats are all about making showering in general and shower sex safer. After all, nobody wants to slip, no matter what they’re doing in the shower.

The shower upgrades that will work best depend on the size, flooring, and material of your shower.

You might consider:

• no-slip shower mats, like a Patented Bath Mat
• shower seats, like an adjustable Shower Chair and Seat or a Shower Bench
• grip bars
• shower and bath nozzles

Sex Swings

In a nutshell, sex swings suspend one partner in the air, while the other can move around them. They’re fun for folks who want to try suspended positions without having to literally hold their partner’s bodyweight. Many swings also come with restraints and attachments.

If you’re using the swings that go into the ceiling, ensure you read the instructions. There are also door swing varieties that are less permanent, travel-friendly, and far easier to assemble. You could also opt to buy a yoga swing, which is intended for acrobatics and aerial yoga poses, but easily moonlights as a sex sling.

 

 

Sex Chaises, Chairs, and Couches

Sex chairs, chaises, and functional couches allow you to try new sex positions in a comfortable and sexy way. When looking for these kinds of pieces, make sure the fabric or material is easy to clean. Leather is a no-no, but faux leather works just fine. You’ll also want to find smooth lines and curves, which not only looks sexy, but is also ergonomic. If you put it in your living room or bedroom, nobody would know what it’s used for, because it just looks pretty.”

If you’re interested in a sex position enhancer chair and a sex swing but don’t have the square footage, a swinging chair is a delight for oral sex and doggy style.

Queening stools and thrones

Also known as sex stools, queening stools are basically chairs with a hole in the bottom where a face, penis, dildo, or hand can go. Think of it as a step stool with a toilet seat-esque top.

Some, like the Queening Chair and Slave Toilet, are designed just for face sitting.Others can be used for face sitting, 69-ing, rider-on-top, reverse rider, and more. A stool with elastic straps is a great option for folks who don’t have the strength to hold their bodies up while on top. The straps do the bouncing for you.

 

Sex benches and horses

You might think these are just, like, a place you sit on and bone. But in reality, sex benches and horses are best for kinky folks.

Sex benches

Typically, sex benches allow you to strap someone down or bend someone over for a good spanking. How kinky they appear varies.

Sex horses

Ever seen an old-school gymnastics horse? Bondage horses are like that… but more versatile.

The Bondage Horse can be used to:

• restrain someone
• bend someone over
• make rider and reverse-rider more comfortable
• open up someone’s bum for anal

Sex machines

You can probs use your imagination to make a pretty educated guess on what these babes are. But we’ll tell you — plus, explain the difference between the two main types.

Rideable sex machines

Often shaped like an ottoman, these are machines that you mount and ride as you might, say, a horse. Their primary function is to vibrate — not thrust.

By far the most popular in this category are:

• The Cowgirl
• The Sybian
• The Motorbunny

F*cking machines

F*cking machines feature a dildo or retractable arm that’s designed to thrust in and out of you. Unlike rideable sex machines that could pass as an odd-looking foot stool, f*cking machines look like sex machines.

 

 

Bondage platforms 

Bondage tables, boards, and crosses are all designed to restrain someone. Which one you choose will come down to aesthetic preference and space.

Bondage tables

A bondage table is any type of table that can be used to tie someone down. Sometimes these look like freaky dining or living room tables with built-in straps and cuffs that lock someone down while you whip, tease, cane, spank, and spit on them. Other times they look more like massage tables or hospital bed restraints.

The ones that look like massage tables are great for milking (Milking = massaging a penis owner’s testicles and prostate.)

Bondage boards

Boards are just bondage tables without the feet.

Boards are the better option if your square footage is restricted. They can really turn any surface of a preexisting piece of furniture into a bondage table.

Bondage crosses

A bondage cross is a bondage board shaped like a large, person-sized X. Typically, it has rings at the top and bottom for restraining wrists and ankles.

BDSM beds

Yes, you might call a four-poster bed that’s been decked out with an under-the-bed restraint system a BDSM bed. But a BDSM bed is typically a bed designed with BDSM play in mind. 

For very experienced BDSM practitioners, there’s also something called a latex bed. Designed with two pieces of latex and just a mouth hole, these “beds” allow someone to feel what it’s like to be tightly encased from head to toe.

Cages

Cages are great for animal play and for displaying, and even sharing, a partner. Some, like the Kennel Adjustable Puppy Cage, look like medieval pet cages.Others, like the Hanging Leather Strap Bondage Cage, are designed to engulf someone like a human-sized finger trap toy.

Stockades

Some stockades feature a board with a hole for a head and two for wrists, others are freestanding.

Regardless, they can be used to (consensually!):

• force a submissive to accept your touch
• force a partner to watch you bang someone else
• deprive a submissive of movement or self-pleasure
• engage in medieval role play or animal play

 

 

The bottom line

Sex furniture can be a pleasurable addition to any pleasure seeker’s home, so long as they invest in the type that makes the most sense for their sexual tastes.
