Liberator Esse II Sex Chaise – Faux Leather Iron Grey (Non-Retail Box)

In iron grey faux leather, the Liberator Esse II Sex Chaise is the version that disappears most easily into a living space. It's a sex sofa in chaise form, a long sculpted lounger whose curves give support and angles a bed can't, and the soft grey tone sits beside wood floors, light walls and fabric sofas the way an accent chair would. You get the same Esse II shape and size as the black and blue versions; the colour is the choice.

Reading the shape of this sex sofa

Picture a gentle wave. One end rises into a high curve, the middle dips and the foot lifts again. Each part has a job. The high curve raises the hips of whoever lies back over it. The dip cradles a seated or straddling partner so you can face each other at a similar height. The foot gives a resting point for knees or calves. Liberator ships illustrations of positions to try, and working through them is the quickest way to learn what the chaise does.

First positions on a sex chaise

• Reclined over the high end: receiving partner on their back, hips at the crest; the other kneels or stands at the side.
• Forward over the curve: chest down, hips on the crest, knees on the floor or the seat. Liberator singles out doggy as one of its strengths.
• Face to face in the dip: one partner sits, the other straddles. Close, slow and easy on the knees.

Iron grey or black?

Grey suits lighter rooms and Scandinavian or industrial styling, where black can look heavy. It also shows less lint and dust than black. In return, a dark spill may be more visible on grey than on black, so keep a throw handy for lube-heavy sessions. The black faux leather Esse II and the sterling blue version are the alternatives.

Comfort, cover and care

The plush foam is shaped with ergonomic curves, so bodies are supported along their length rather than at a few pressure points. An inner moisture liner sits under the faux leather to protect the foam, and Liberator lists the cover as machine washable. For everyday upkeep, wipe the surface with a lightly damp cloth and dry it.

Fitting it into a room

It measures 63 in long, 24 in wide and 26.5 in high, or 32 in to the top of the headrest. Along a bedroom wall or under a window it looks like a reading lounger. For play, pull it out so there's access on one long side.

Is it the right buy for you?

Choose the Esse II if you want one piece that handles many positions and also earns its place as seating. Skip it if floor space is tight or if you mainly want restraint, where a dedicated bondage piece makes more sense. It's a good fit when partners differ a lot in height, because the crest and dip let you adjust who sits higher simply by shifting along the chaise. People who tire quickly on a soft mattress often find the firm, shaped support the biggest change.
