Hotel rooms with a tantra chair

A tantra chair is a long, padded chaise with a double curve, like a stretched-out S. It looks like a piece of designer furniture, and that is part of its charm: it fits in a love room without turning it into a dungeon. Its shape does the work. The curves raise and support the hips, the back and the legs at angles a mattress cannot give, so positions that are tiring on a bed become easy and can last.

It is the most common piece of furniture in the stays on Kinkstay, and often the first one couples try. In the rooms on this page it stands next to the bed or the spa, sometimes in front of a mirror, in leather, velvet or faux leather.

Size and covering

Tantra chairs come in different lengths and heights. Leather and faux leather are easy to wipe and cool to the touch; velvet is softer but warmer. The photos usually show which one a room has.

Where it stands

A chair placed in front of a mirror or near the spa makes the most of the room. Check that there is space to move around it.

What else is in the room

A tantra chair is often paired with a sex swing, a St. Andrew's cross or a private hot tub. Use the filters above the list to combine it with another piece.

Start simply: one partner lies along the curve, the other kneels or stands, then try the other curve and the other way round. The higher curve lifts the hips, the lower one supports the back; most of the positions come from changing who lies on which side. Take a towel, as most hosts ask, and wipe the chair down afterwards.
