Furniture is a necessity in any home, but it holds a special place in love life as well. You don’t want to break your back balancing against the kitchen table, or your behind to get stuck on the marble kitchen island. Sure, having sex pretty much anywhere in the house is great, but specially designed sex furniture is just the thing you need to spice up your life. Especially when it’s DIY!
If you’re someone who loves homemade projects but also has a whole different wild side, then here’s a complete DIY sex furniture guide for you. But first, let’s start with the basics.
What Is DIY Sex Furniture?
This is a piece of self-made furniture that helps improve the quality of sex. There are two main groups of sex furniture, depending on their specific purpose. These include positioning and bondage sex furniture.
Positioning furniture comprises sex benches, sex couches/sofas, sex stools, sex swings, and slings, designed to save energy during sex and improve your posture while in different sex positions. Positioning sex furniture allows your partner to reach just the right spots without the risk of physical injury.
Bondage furniture, on the other hand, includes a sex frame, sex cross, and bondage bed. You can use this type of furniture to restrain your partner during sex.
Both types of furniture help improve the sexual experience and maximize comfort during sex. They let you explore various sex positions depending on your needs and desires. Also, sex furniture can be beneficial for people with physical aches, such as back and knee pain.
Does regular sex get a bit boring for you? Well, homemade sex furniture adds much more flavor to your sexual experiences. Making a piece of furniture by yourself is a great idea, especially if factors such as size, weight, and sexual position preferences are quite specific and personal.
Also, if the price of your ideal furniture is too high for you at the moment, it may be time to get creative by building your own homemade version.
Why Use Sex (BDSM) Furniture?
The primary reasons for using sex furniture are improving the quality of sex, and getting out of routine sex positions. This furniture lets you explore your desired sexual adventures with ease and immense pleasure. To achieve all your desired sexual fantasies, though, you need to make the right choice of furniture.
Sex and BDSM furniture saves your hands and back from the work and energy needed to position and support yourself during sex. The doggy style position, for example, could exhaust you as you try to support your back and entire lower body. Remember, your body is experiencing extreme pleasure at that particular moment, consequently relaxing your nerves and making your muscles weaker during intercourse.
As a result, your attention unintentionally shifts from fully experiencing sexual pleasure to trying to support yourself to avoid disappointing your partner. This posture eventually becomes physically tiring and frustrating.
Yet, homemade furniture perfectly holds your weight, accommodates your body size while improving pleasure, and it’s specifically tailored according to your needs!
Physical pain, especially in your back and knees, could prevent you from having an orgasm just when you are almost there. To avoid such adverse interruptions, you may design the kind of furniture that aligns with your sexual and physical needs.
Sex Furniture Pros
Homemade furniture for sex comes with lots of advantages. Your partner or yourself may prefer some sex positions over others, for example. Some of these, as discussed earlier, can be difficult to sustain for prolonged periods, depending on your physical ability, body size, etc. With homemade furniture, you’ll enjoy sex without the strain which sets the perfect atmosphere for reaching glorious orgasms and having a better sex life in general. Nothing sexy about going to the ER with a sex-related injury, is there?
The ideal furniture supports your weight and that of your partner. It allows you to choose custom-made materials to accommodate your physical needs first, followed by your sexual fantasies. Also, making this furniture at home gives you much-needed privacy. Plus, it’s much gentler on your wallet than buying ready-made ones! This kind of furniture does not seem very different from traditional or design furniture, and there is no shame in owning one. Just be careful when your in-laws are visiting!
Sex Furniture Cons
The only major disadvantage of DIY furniture is that it may take quite a long time to plan and build. This, of course, depends on your skills and the availability of required materials, too. It may prove to be quite difficult to build these if you are not very crafty with your hands. Not to worry, though – there are tons of YouTube videos that can help you build more basic things like sex chairs, fuck benches, and much more!
The Seven Types of Sex Furniture
There are several types of furniture for sex; a few examples include sex gliders, chairs, loungers, and cages. Some kinds of furniture derive from items you probably have at home, thus, you can transform these easily.

1) Spanking Bench
A spanking bench, sometimes called a fuck bench, is a piece of sex furniture used for positioning a spankee during sex. The spankee may either be restrained or left free during BDSM sex. Doggy style is the most popular position used for spanking, and this bench is ideal for it.

- Take another 35-inch piece of wood and join the two A-shaped structures on the lower adjoining 16-inch wood piece using wood glue and nails.
- Repeat step 6 above on the other side of the A-shaped structure. Your final structure should look like sex wedges at this point.
- Reinforce the bottom parts of the A-shaped structures using the 32-inch pieces of wood.
- Drill any necessary joints and use a bolt and nut to make the structure stronger. You may reinforce the spanking bench further using a larger triangular offcut on both A-shaped sides.
- On all the 35-inch wood parts, apply wood glue all around and stick the memory foam on top, using upholstery pins to cover the wooden area.
- Cover the memory foam with your preferred fabric (such as marine-grade vinyl) for a beautiful finish.

What To Consider Before Making A DIY Sex Furniture
Availability of materials: Some sex furniture needs specific materials that may not be readily available at home. For instance, to build a sex swing and sling, you need a steel-frame bed. For that reason, it is always advisable to research the types of materials you need prior to getting started with building sex furniture. Also, make sure you only use high-quality materials to prevent the sex toys from breaking down as you enjoy yourself.
Type of materials: Most DIY furniture for sex consists of wood, which comes in different sizes. Furniture such as a bondage cross, bondage frame, or spanking bench supports the full weight of your partner, so it’s advisable to look for something that’s strong and stable enough, preferably hardwood.
User’s weight: Take your partner’s weight into consideration before making your DIY furniture. If you choose the wrong materials, your furniture may collapse, break, or even injure you or your partner.
User’s height: Customization is among the many benefits of do-it-yourself sex furniture. Whether your partner is excessively tall or short, this furniture should be specially designed to meet their specific needs in terms of height.
Sex position: The intended sex position determines the type of furniture needed. Every piece of sex furniture helps improve a specific set of sex positions or makes these easier and more enjoyable. For instance, the spanking bench improves the doggy style, and the bondage table improves the flatiron sex position.
Stability: Sex furniture, such as a bondage cross and frame, should be thoroughly checked for stability. You may add an extra wood, if needed, to the back of the cross for increased stability.
Comfort: Most furniture for sex is designed for comfort. Therefore, it is advisable to use skin-friendly materials, such as memory foam, velvet, and pillows where necessary, to improve the levels of comfort when the action begins.
Durability: Shaking, trembling, or stiffening of the muscles are some of the many characteristics of orgasmic sex. In such moments, weak furniture may break and lead to injury, which is an instant turn-off. Reinforcing the furniture is, therefore, essential for the safety of both partners.
You now have a better understanding of seven different types of do-it-yourself sex furniture. With the help of this guide, you’ll be able to choose the right ones for you and prepare the furniture so that it is safe and comfortable to use. The good thing about DIY sex furniture is that there are no limits; you are allowed to be as creative as you can to come up with something that best suits your sexual needs. Get crafty, and the mind-blowing orgasms will follow!
