The 7 Best Spanking Benches for BDSM Connoisseurs

At a little over $800 out the door, it’s not particularly accurate to call this piece “affordable sex furniture”. Still, we think you get a lot of bang for your buck, which is why we definitely recommend this spanking bench! Its high weight limit of 400 lbs. means it can support nearly any size of sexual partner, which is an issue you might run into with lower-quality furniture. The design (which fully supports your partner’s face, forearms, mid-section, and lower legs) of this bench allows you to perfectly adjust your partner’s position to your liking, opening up a world of options in terms of sexual intercourse as well as BDSM encounters. The bench also includes a wide variety of straps, which will prevent your partner from moving (and keep them safe during “fun time”!).

Unlike the rest of the items on this list, the Zeppelin Cocoon actually isn’t a bench at all, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use it for some spanking fun! Both a blessing and a curse, the bean bag design allows your partner to assume any position that’s convenient, and the bean bag can even be draped over other furniture if you want to flog them against a specific object (such as the kitchen counter!). Obviously, ingenuity and creativity aren’t for everyone: some people just want something that they can set up and start using right away! If that sounds like then the Zeppelin Cocoon probably isn’t for you. However, if you don’t mind trading restraints and straps for easy storage & the ability to use your new furniture anywhere then the Zeppelin Cocoon might have a positive influence on your sex life!

Our main issue with this bench is the price: at nearly $2,500, it’s way more than many people will be willing to spend. Still, you get what you pay for, and for that price, you get a made-to-order sex bench with over twenty different attachment points for restraining your partner, a sturdy steel frame, and padded vinyl surfaces for added comfort. If you want to only purchase one sex bench for the rest of your days then this bench would be a good option, since it opens up many different ways to ensnare, restrain, and punish your sub using only a single piece of equipment. That said, we’d probably only recommend it to someone who already has a dungeon (or at least a dungeon in progress) since the bench doesn’t come with any cuffs, rope, chains, or other restraints: you’ll need to provide these yourself. Considering the price, we think they should at least include one set of restraints to get you started.

Although it’s not the biggest bench around, this model is still far from being a portable spanking bench, which means that where you initially place it is probably where it will end up staying. Fortunately, the design & styling of this bench will make it inconspicuous amongst the other furniture in your bedroom. It would be nice if there were size options besides “king”, but we think it would look close enough at the foot of a queen bed. Like many other benches, you won’t receive any restraints with your purchase, but—contrary to its appearance—this model is equipped with 12 restraint clips to help you get a bit kinky in the bedroom. The height of the bench also makes it good for penetrative sex, either sitting or kneeling doggy style.

We love the design of this item! The reins and stirrups add a lot to the realism, making it perfect for pony play. According to the manufacturer, the item is designed to help you groom, paddle, or flog your pony, which makes us think that trying to ride your “pony” on this prop isn’t a good idea (you also wouldn’t be able to use all the restraints if you attempted to do so). Despite this, we still think this piece is worth a second glance if you already have an established play space, love pony play, but want to add a “finishing touch”. Like any of the “made-to-order” pieces, you’ll have to wait a while for this piece to arrive in the mail & the shipping costs are entirely up to you. Also, since returns aren’t accepted and the item is pretty expensive, we’d recommend making sure you’ll actually use this horse before purchase.

Normally, we would fault the product for not including any type of restraints. However, since the Esse does come with some accessories, we don’t think that’s really a bad point of this bench. Included with your bench is a headrest for added neck support and the mini-scoop for back support. This—combined with the curved design—makes the Black Esse perfect for trying out new sex positions without needing to support your body entirely. If you prefer to go beyond intercourse into bondage, the Black Esse can also assist you there thanks to its 24 different connector points you can attach restraints to! Maintenance-wise, this item is pretty easy to keep clean because of its removable cover. Overall, we’d recommend the Black Esse to pretty much anyone who wants to spice up their sex lives without breaking the bank.

Our main issue with this barrel horse is the price. For such a simple design, the nearly $2,500 price tag seems unnecessary. To be fair, it is a made-to-order piece, but still. Moving on from that issue, the horse is a great addition to any sex dungeon, but will also feel at home in your bedroom (although you’ll need a lot of closet space to store it away!). The simplistic design makes it easy for even complete beginners to use, but more advanced users will have 22 attachment points to take full advantage of for more adventurous escapades using this barrel horse. Nonetheless, we can’t 100% recommend this item because of the price tag, but if you do decide to add it to your collection, we recommend using a credit card or PayPal credit to do so.
