Sometimes you need a good spanking—or, if not you, maybe it’s your plus one. Getting into trouble is fun, but being punished is better yet. And there’s nothing like a sturdy spanking bench to help you give your mate a firm hand. So, let’s talk about who needs to immediately add Liberator Obeir to their shopping list!
I tested Obeir for over a month and absolutely loved it! It’s comfortable, has practical restraints, is easy to clean, and the shelf keeps your knees comfortable throughout the spanking session. Plus, it doubles as a positioning pillow, making doggy style especially comfortable. Overall, it works much better than bending your partner over the bed or in your lap. Highly recommended!
Who Should Try It? Obeir is perfect for beginners since it doesn’t scream pain dungeon. It looks more like a cozy pillow. But I think even spanking aficionados will enjoy it since it will improve the experience for both you (better access to the partner’s bum) and your partner (better comfort).
Who Can Skip It? If you’re into hardcore dungeon BDSM, you may get turned off by its cuddly vibe. You’re probably better off buying something like Stockroom’s Metalbound instead.
You Can Buy It on the official Liberator website for $190.

What Is the Liberator Obeir?
The Liberator Obeir is a spanking bench with built-in D-ring attachments for fun, kinky playtime. It’s made from high-density foam, giving the sub support and comfort. In addition, it has a shelf that keeps the elbows or knees in a comfortable position while providing the dominant access to the subs’ butt region.
Design and Features
Liberator Obeir features at a glance:
- Material: High-density foam and a reinforced microfiber cover
- Size: 24.5″ L x 24″ W x 18″ H
- Color: Black
- Mechanism: Sturdy cushion for BDSM play
- Weight: 10 lbs
How To Use Liberator Obeir?
There are several ways to use this seat.
- One is to have the person kneel on the lowest platform, resting their elbows on the higher edge or cuffing them to the bottom. In the image below, I demonstrate this position.
- Next, you could have them kneel on the floor and bend them over the higher surface, but since they will be against the hard floor, this won’t work well for those with knee issues.
- Lastly, you could have the spanker sit across the highest ledge and drape you over their lap.
I don’t want to choose favorites, but the last position is the best if you’re really into discipline. There’s no reason to already be in place for intercourse while you’re getting punished—you don’t want to rush the process! Being across someone’s lap also is better psychologically. There’s a humiliation factor that you don’t get with the other positions.
Pro Tip: You can spice things up further by using BDSM paddles or flogging toys.
My Personal Experience
I have wanted to review a spanking bench since day one as a sex toy reviewer, so I was beyond ecstatic when the Obeir showed up at my door. Liberator takes building sex amenities seriously, so I knew this would be a top-of-the-line, luxury place to put someone over your knee.
First off, the Obeir works much better than bending your significant other over the bed. Beds don’t typically have great places to restrain your playmate, and they’re at a weird height for long-term postures. You’ll get sore if you stay there too long, and no one wants to rush during kink! It’s a time to create a hot scene with your mate, not quit in the middle because your back is aching. The Obeir solves this problem.
Design
All Liberator products are designed with quality and long-term use in mind, and the Obeir is no different. It’s very well-made, and the well-placed D-ring attachments (image below) show that they have kink lovers on their design team.
Further, the look is approachable for people who are newer to bondage. It doesn’t scream “pain dungeon.” Instead, it looks like a furnishing that would cozy up any space. The Obeir will blend seamlessly into any room, unlike many other benches on the market. If you’re aesthetic is already on the whips-and-chains side, however, this may not match your vibe.
Comfort
One of the questions I wanted to answer during my research is how easily this cushion supports two people’s weights since it has to for the lap position to work. The truth is that the Obeir is a miracle of engineering since the founder and co-founder (I’m just guessing—I’m not sure who invented this phenomenon) were able to make it both soft and sturdy. It can easily accept the weight of you and your plus one without the form budging.
When we got into position and I knelt on the lower shelf, my butt was too high for my partner’s penetration. Which angle works best will depend entirely on your and your partner’s thigh lengths.
Build Quality
You can expect the high quality that comes standard with all Liberator products.
Ease of Use
The Obeir is relatively easy to use. After you unwrap it, all you need to do is wash the cover, grab your favorite pair of hand/ankle cuffs, and dream up a list of your partner’s wrongdoings or do something that you know will get yourself into trouble.
Further, cleaning the Obeir is a cinch. The microfiber cover is machine washable, so always use the bench with the cover; everything will stay squeaky clean. You could also throw a barrier on top if you prefer extra protection.
Versatility
The Obeir is reasonably versatile, unlike many similar products. It makes any from-behind sex positions more comfortable and is excellent for people who want to try anal. However, it’s not as easy for vaginally penetrative positions.
Further, the attachment points are rather versatile as well. The Obeir comes with D-ring attachments, but you can also use the quick-release buckles if you buy the corresponding attachments. It’s compatible with all Liberator black label attachments, so you can’t go wrong whether you use restraints you previously owned or decide to buy from the company.
However, if you live in a big city and storage space is at a premium, you’ll want to note that this cushion doesn’t squish down smaller to better fit in your closet. And since it doesn’t double as a chair, you may want to choose a different Liberator item that you can use in multiple scenarios.
Lastly, since the Obeir is lightweight, on the smaller side (as far as spanking benches go), and portable, the element of realism may suffer slightly. Your sub isn’t attached to something heavy, like a bedpost, so they technically could lift the cushion and walk away free at any point.
If this will ruin the scene for you, you may want to get something more significant, but you will likely sacrifice the portability and ease of storage. On the other hand, you can always use an eyehook to attach the Obeir to something that will sabotage their getaway. Turn it perpendicular so you can be behind your playmate if you plan to spank them from that angle.
Cleaning and Storage
The Liberator Obeir spanking bench doesn’t require much maintenance at all. Wash the cover before each use so you’re using a clean surface. You should also keep the cushion inside the cover so that the inside material isn’t affected by environmental factors like humidity.
Warranty and Support
You can return Liberator products within 30 days for a refund. Unopened items may be returned, and Liberator will cover the cost of shipping and handling for whatever you exchange them for.

Who Can Skip It
If you don’t like spanking or from-behind sex positions, other pieces will better suit your appetite.
Alternatives to the Liberator Obeir
Liberator Esse Lounger II Black Label
The Liberator Esse Lounger II is shaped somewhat like a chaise longue, with curves and contours that make sex positions endlessly comfortable. There are restraint attachments for keeping your significant other perfectly in place, but otherwise, this looks like a sexy place to relax.
Though it’s made for much more than spanking, you can easily bend your sub over either of the two ends and keep them there. The Liberator Esse Lounger II Black Label has a base price of around $864, costing more if you add the cuff kit.
Prelude Queen Black Label
The Prelude is a much bigger piece than the Obeir; they’re equally tall, but the Prelude is five feet long and weighs 35 lbs. It will feel a bit sturdier than the Obeir, but it’s also something that won’t be easy to stash away.
The faux leather wipes clean easily and look rather attractive but won’t attract undue notice—just like any other bench you might have in your home. However, it has hidden restraint clips and is pricier than the Obeir.
Metalbound Padded Bench
The Metalbound isn’t for those who are just dabbling—it’s for the devotees. Try as your sub might, they won’t be able to free themselves from the confines of the Metalbound. It’s not technically a bench but a bondage horse, which looks like a pommel horse with a place for your knees.
Keep in mind that the Metalbound is not discreet. No matter where you put this in your space, it will look like something you use for adult purposes. It has twenty attachment points, is custom-made, and costs $1,875.50.
Master Series Obedience Extreme
The Master Series Obedience Extreme is next on the list, and it’s a furnishing with a face cradle that’s ideal for penetration of all sorts. Not only is the price higher than the Obeir, but it is large and must remain set up, meaning you can’t just fold it up when your parents visit.
It looks a bit like a combination of a massage table and a dentist’s chair, perfect for those times when you get into serious trouble with your dentist. This spanking stool costs around $455.
Fetish Fantasy Bondage Swing
The Fetish Fantasy Swing is an excellent addition for anyone who loves restraining their mate. No, this swing is not explicitly made for discipline enthusiasts, but you can certainly use it for punishment purposes.
This sex swing allows you to put your partner into all sorts of positions comfortably and then restrain them with the hand and ankle cuffs. However, it only works for people under 200 lbs, and it’s not as easy to clean as the Obeir.
The Fetish Fantasy Bondage Swing costs $169, but you’ll need a place to set it up (which might require additional purchases).
