The Obedience Extreme bench is beloved by celebs (Ashley Benson and Cara Delevigne, to be specific) and comes souped up with restraints too. Not sold on its less-than-subtle “sex furniture” look? Consider buying an actual massage table, which is a fraction of the price and features a headrest, sturdy legs, and easy-to-clean padding.

Sex Machines
These are exactly as they sound: Machines that mimic sex. “They allow for hands-free stimulation, usually via penetration and/or vibration,” Nekrasova says. “[They] are a great choice if you enjoy toys with more power and want to enjoy thrusting penetration without a partner,” she explains.
Most popular models—like The Cowgirl, MotorBunny, and Sybian—look like saddles and are designed to be straddled. They can be outfitted with different attachments that deliver high-intensity vibrations for grinding or similar stimulation, Nekrasova says. Other options are more suited for people who love penetration, like Lovehoney’s Love Motion Machine, she adds.

Mattresses
All hail the humble mattress, the first piece of sex furniture (fine, maybe not the original—that was probably a patch of grass or something, but still).
When buying a mattress specifically for sex (who needs sleep?), you’ll want something firm, with lots of edge support. While some bouncing is normal—and even helpful—both the top and bottom partner should feel supported, Rachel Wright, LMFT, a New York–based licensed psychotherapist and host of The Wright Conversations, tells SELF. “If the mattress gives too much under the receiver’s back, or the giver’s knees or legs, staying comfortable and finding a rhythm is going to be tough,” she says. That goes for spooning and other sideways positions too.
You might also look for a temperature-regulating mattress or one with a cooling gel topper, since things could get sweaty. Below, see the top two mattresses for sex, according to the Sleep Foundation.

What should you look for when shopping for sex furniture?
Whether you’re interested in a wedge pillow or a waterproof blanket, here are a few factors experts recommend keeping in mind as you browse.
Material
“You don’t have to stress as much about materials for sex furniture as much as you would for sex toys because the furniture is not going inside of any body parts,” Engle explains. The exception: Sex machines and thrusters, which are designed for direct genital stimulation or penetration, Nekrasova says. Look for models that come with nonpourous attachments made from medical-grade silicone, which is safe for internal and external use, Jennifer Litner, PhD, AASECT-certified sex therapist and founder of Embrace Sexual Wellness, previously told SELF.
But you still need to consider how easy your furniture is to clean post-play, Engle says. Not only does this mean you won’t have to worry about leaving behind any body fluids while you’re going at it, but it can also help lower your risk of getting an STI, especially if you have sex with multiple people on the same device. When it comes to couches and chairs, look for PVC, vinyl, or polyester, Berkheimer says. “Leather is [another] great choice because it’s easy to wipe clean,” Engle adds. Make sure items like pillows, wedges, and ramps have a washable (and ideally water-resistant) cover that you can throw in the laundry immediately following play, she says—cotton, microfiber, and nylon are all solid options.
Footprint
Whether you have a dedicated sex room or you’re tight on space, take a peek at a product’s dimensions before adding it to your cart, Berkheimer says. Your next move: Get out your measuring tape and make sure it isn’t too big or too small. Once you’re positive you have plenty of room to safely house (and use) the piece, you’re in the clear.
Durability
Above all else, make sure whatever you buy is high-quality. Pillows, chairs, and couches should have a dual-density foam insert, which will last longer and feel more supportive, Nekrasova notes.
