The 5 Best Sex Couches for Discreet Delight
Testing and Rating Sex Couch Products
There are many more options to choose from than just the sex couches we’ve listed below. However, the ones listed all have something in common: they fared well n the “Bedbible Rating” test! Regardless of what type of toy/product we’re testing, they’re all judged on the same criteria: design, ease of use, and quality. “Design” refers to the physical and functional design of the product. “Ease of use” refers to how well that design translates into real-world results, i.e. how easy it is to use! “Quality” encompasses the build quality of the product, including the materials used as well as the expected longevity of the product in question. If a toy scores well in all of these categories then you know it’s a good toy! When added & averaged, these individual criteria come together to provide a product with its “Bedbible Rating”.
What to Look for in a Good Sex Couch
If you’ve never shopped for sex furniture then you might not be 100% sure what you should look for. Not to worry: we’ve created a short list of the six main things you should consider before making a purchase!
- Materials – This is the first aspect that you should consider. Remember, the material used has a major influence on your experience using the sex couch. If the material is sticky, scratchy, or uncomfortable then your new sex couch won’t be much fun to use, even if everything else is perfect! You should also consider the material used for any attachments (such as integrated dildos) and check for any allergens.
- Shape – Some sex couches are designed for dual-person use, whereas others are more suited for solo sessions. The shape of your couch should match its intended purpose.
- Size – You’ll need to consider the measurements (mainly height) of you and your partner: is your new sex couch going to be large enough? Most sex couches can support a lot of weight, but if you are worried about the couch not supporting you and/or your partner properly, check the weight limit just to be sure!
- Discretion – Depending on the couch in question, your new piece of furniture might be able to simply blend into the background of your room! This is especially true if it looks like a beanie bag or could pass for an ottoman. However, you should consider any visible D-rings or branding, as these could be a dead giveaway to any guest with a sharp eye!
- Storage – If your sex couch is inflatable then storage shouldn’t be an issue, but if not, then you’ll need to find enough space to store it. Assuming you’re not trying to place it out in the open, we’d recommend looking at the measurements of the item and trying to find a place (such as a closet) to store your sex couch before purchasing it.
- Price – Inflatable sex couches tend to be more friendly to your wallet, but non-inflatable models are usually higher quality and have more longevity. You should compare the price tag of a sex couch to its expected longevity to see if you’d save money in the long-term, or if paying more upfront is a better option. Many times, financing options are available so these might be worth considering.
FAQ
What is a sex couch?
A sex couch is a piece of furniture specifically designed to relieve pressure and pain during sex positions that can be uncomfortable on the body. Many are equipped with restraint clips for bondage play or have built-in connectors for using your favorite toys. The best part is, sex couches are designed to be neutral and blend in with the rest of your furniture, so you won't have any uncomfortable explaining to do when guests come to visit! High-end sex couches can get pretty expensive, but for those on a tight budget, there are plenty of inflatable options available as well.

The 5 Best sex couches in Test
Liberator Equus Wave
From Liberator, the Equus Wave is a sex couch that offers five unique configurations. Two corresponding shapes fit seamlessly together to form a discreet bench perfect for straddling. Alternatively, you can separate the shapes, place them side-by-side, or perpendicularly. The micro-velvet cover is removable, machine washable, and waterproof, so you can clean up easily after some dirty fun!
| Length | 60 inches |
| Width | 20 inches |
| Height | 18 inches |
| Weight | 37 lbs |
| Maximum Weight | 600 lbs |
| Materials | Velvish, polyester, polyurethane |
The Equus Wave only loses design points for not having built-in restraint clips. If that’s what you’re after, you may want to think about another one of the couches on this list. Other than that, this sex couch is an innovatively designed piece of furniture that offers five configurations in one—which is some serious versatility. And, for a sex couch, it’s at a very good price. Overall, the Equus Wave is a quality-assured investment that’s sure to stand the test of time.
Fetish Fantasy Inflatable Ride on Cushion with Realistic Vibrating Dildo
This portable plush pillow from Fetish Fantasy is the answer to your sex couch storage needs. The Fetish Fantasy Inflatable Ride on Cushion is easy to store away when it’s not in use, and comes with an attached six-inch dildo for built-in pleasure. Attached to the side are handles for extra leverage and security as you ride, and a remote to control the vibrations of the dildo.

| Insertable length | 6 inches |

| Length | Of log: 32 inches |
| Height | Of log: 12 inches |
| Vibration speeds | Multiple speeds |
| Rechargeable | No, battery powered |
| Materials | Of dildo: PVC |
In theory, this is a solidly designed couch. Unfortunately, the irremovable PVC dildo embedded in the toy is not body-safe, and should only be used with a condom to protect from bacterial infections. This plastic material is extremely rigid and can be uncomfortable to penetrate, and the inability to remove the included dildo limits your options significantly. That being said, the couch is budget-friendly and easy to store discreetly, so if you’re a fan of rigid dildos and okay with using a condom, this could be a good option for you.
Zeppelin Cocoon | Special Edition Faux Fur
This uniquely designed sex couch from Liberator is more than just a beanbag. The Zeppelin Cocoon from Liberator is a faux-fur lined, foam-filled couch that adjusts to your needs. Lay it flat for use as a pleasure pad, or turn it on its side and curl up on it as an upright seat for some Netflix and chill! Best of all, the Cocoon can double as a guest bed (or your own bed!), and as a comfortable seat for everyday use.
| Diameter | In flat position: 72 inches, In chair position: 58 inches |
| Height | In flat position: 12 inches, In chair position: 40 inches |
| Width | In chair position: 48 inches |
| Materials | Faux fur, nylon, foam |
The Zeppelin Cocoon by Liberator is an interesting one. It doesn’t get much more luxurious than a $500 faux-fur lined beanbag! The beanbag itself is extremely soft and comfortable, easily machine-washable, and reasonably versatile. It could be great for a luxurious solo session, or some lazy morning sex, but in terms of actual position adjustment, it doesn’t particularly bring anything to the table that a regular beanbag wouldn’t. That being said, it does look comfortable.
Liberator Esse
The Esse Tantric Sex Chair from Liberator is an ergonomically-designed sex couch for anyone looking to enhance their play. Whether you struggle with joint pain, mobility, or just want to try some new positions, the Esse is here for you. The couch itself is made of a dense, solid foam that has some natural give for increased mobility, and is lined with a moisture-proof material and your choice of fabric.
| Length | 64 inches |
| Width | 24 inches |
| Height | 24 inches |
| Materials | Velvet, polyester, polyurethane foam |
The Esse is a staple of sex furniture everywhere. So much so, that Liberator has since come out with over eight variations on the original model (this one), so if you’re interested in the design, but would like to attach restraints, you might want to think about the black label Esse, or any from their premium range of bondage sex couches. That being said, the original Esse is an excellent addition to your sex furniture collection, that doubles as a chaise lounge when not in use. The foam base is ideal for sex, as it is strong and secure, but has some give to contour to your body.
Liberator Black Label Esse Chaise Sex Lounger
The Esse Chaise from Liberator’s Black Label collection is a faux-leather dream for any kinksters looking to invest in a quality sex couch. The chaise lounge comes with a narrower body and lower height than the original Esse for easier straddling, a non-slip base, and a moisture-resistant inner liner.

| Length | 68 inches |
| Width | 22 inches |
| Height | 22 inches |
| Materials | Faux leather, polyurethane foam |
The Esse Black Label collection is uniquely designed specifically for BDSM, and it is well worth the money. The main benefit of a sex couch is that it relieves pressure on the joints and takes stress off of your body, which is evident in the design of the Black Label Esse Chaise. If you’re taller, however, you may want to think about purchasing one of Liberators Flip Platforms (currently unavailable), which will give you easier access and overall increase your comfort and pleasure. It blends in well with your existing furniture, thanks to the wide range of colors and materials.

Doggy style just got a lot more comfortable. Sex couches allow the receiver to fully extend their legs and grind against the couch for added pleasure. The giver can stand fully upright, which relieves pressure on the knees.

Pretzel Dip
Time for a fun one! The pretzel dip involves the partner being penetrated lying on their right side as the penetrator straddles the right leg.

How to clean a sex couch
It's as important to clean your sex couch as it is to clean the rest of your toys! With all the action they'll be seeing (hopefully!), you'll want to keep them in top condition. It's best to clean immediately after use so that bacteria doesn't linger, stains don't set in, and it's ready to go the next time you're in the mood. Sex couches come in a variety of materials and styles, so make sure you check the instruction manual or manufacturer's guidelines to ensure the best quality clean. Removable covers can usually be washed and dried like any piece of clothing, but you'll want to make sure they're tumble dryer safe, and keep them on a gentle cycle. For extra protection, you can put your cover in a laundry-safe bag to ensure it doesn't fade or get damaged. Sex couches without removable covers can be carefully wiped down with soap and water, or body-safe antibacterial cleaning product.
materials
Soft plastic, hard plastic, jelly, rubber, Cyberskin are all porous materials, meaning that small particles and bacteria can penetrate the surface. This makes it impossible to completely clean these types of materials.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use a condom with these types of toys, especially if you are sharing them. Clean these toys with mild soapy water and dry gently with a towel. These materials are more easily damaged, so be sure to be gentle and make sure your toys are completely dry before storing.
materials
Silicone, glass, stainless steel and some hard plastics can all be washed using a mild soap (like you would use on your body) and warm water. Just be careful if your toy contains electrical parts.
Silicone and stainless steel toys without any electrical parts can also be boiled for sterilisation.
components
If your toys contain electrical components, be extra careful when cleaning them and always check the instructions provided with the toy. You can use a gentle cloth and soap to wipe or sex toy cleaner or cleaning wipe to down your toy, making sure that no water comes into contact with the electrical parts.
