Liberator Esse Review for 2020
Picking the right sex chair is a difficult choice. You want something that makes you cum like crazy, but that is safe and sturdy and won’t break under some more serious action.
One of the first sex chairs was invented for the British King Edward VII in the 19th century – crazy, right? King Ed needed the device out of necessity.
He was severely overweight but wanted to have sex with more than one woman at once, so a bit of (an entire team’s worth) of expert engineering had to get him where (and in whom) he wanted to be.
The Benefits of Liberator Esse Chairs
- Loved by experts and kinksters alike, the Liberator Esse Chair is a versatile, trustworthy line of products for couples on various levels of hardcore.
- Liberator Chairs are elegant-looking and are easy to fold and inflate. They can make otherwise uncomfortable sex positions easy to hold while helping overcome differences in height.
- The cost of a Liberator Esse can range between $400 and $900, which can sound disheartening for less well-off couples.

Which Liberator Esse is best for you?
Thankfully, the sex chair game has advanced considerably since then, but even now, you have to be careful when picking a product.
While there are many sleek, modern masterpieces on the market, you could still come across those clunky, archaic constructions that are on the level of Edward’s pleasure throne.
To avoid this mistake, it’s best to rely on expert advice before making a purchase.
Difference between Esse I & Esse II
When you’re online it can be a little tricky to see the difference between the Esse and Esse II.
Here’s the low-down:
First you’re thinking, “price”.
-
Price: The Esse II is like an upgrade for the Esse I, so it’s more expensive at $900. The original Esse is $550. You pay for what you get.
--> If you’re a shorter, lighter couple, then the Esse I will suit you fine.
--> But if you’re tall and/or have vigorous sex, then the Esse II will suit you better.
- Height: The Esse I is lower (29”). The Esse II is 33”, so taller than the original model. It has gorgeous maple feet that elevate it from the ground.
- Weight: The Esse II is weighted with a birch base for additional stability. It’s heavier.
- Fabric: The Esse I comes with a choice of microvelvet or porto cover. The Esse II comes in plush faux leather.
You’ll have fun on either, but choose what sounds right for you.
Liberator Esse vs Black Label Esse
They’re two of the best sex loungers on the market. So how do they differ?
It comes down to that delicious thing we call kink. If you’re into it, buy the Black Label.
But here’s the thing, if you haven’t tried bondage or spanking, still get the Black Label. I’m obviously biased! (Wink-wink!)
Here are the differences:
- With the Esse you get a selection of colours. That’s great, right? You can match your interior decor. The Black Label Esse is only available in black. But we all know, black goes with everything!
- And most importantly? The Black Label model is endowed with 28 cuffing points. Yes, TWENTY-EIGHT points to restrain to. Oh yeah, baby. Get your handcuffs out!
I love being restrained so am all about Black Label.
I’d say it makes more sense to buy the Black Label Esse because it’s only an extra $35. That’s a small price to pay for all the extra pleasure!
But can you really put a price tag on your orgasms?
So without further ado, here are some of the more essential benefits for different models of the Liberator Esse Chairs (the name “tantra chair” is booked for The Tantra Chair brand but Liberator offers a good alternative & has similiar functions).
Esse
Esse is the ESSEntial (get it?) product of the line. This no-nonsense, stylish chair gives you 360 degrees of options to spice up your sex life.
Main Points:
- Esse comes with a wide foam frame that provides reliable support.
- The velvet cover can be washed by any washing machine, making this chair easy to clean even if you have made a mighty mess. The moisture-proof liner guarantees that any spots and stains stay on the washable outside layer.
- The high-density foam provides extra stability. My partner and I tend to shake any furniture we are on when we are getting at it, but we were glad to see that Esse withstood our impact pretty nicely.

Esse Chaise
Chaise is a sleeker, smaller variation of the original Esse chair. Its lower body allows you to make better use of the floor, and the sleekness makes it easier to straddle. It means that shorter couples will find this one more natural to use.
Main Points:
- Chaise is also a bit more versatile than Esse. Although it comes with a lower body, you can buy a Flip Stage that can lift the whole chair up and grant you 8 additional inches.
- It comes with all the properties of Esse that makes it easy to set up and clean, including the machine-washable outer layer.
- If you pick the Black Label variety of the product, you will get the extra cost’s worth with a couple of handy bondage cuffs that provide you with even more options when using this product.

Esse II
While Esse II might cost a lot more than the original, its extra values are undeniable. This is a premium sex chair with a wooden base, maple feet, and stylish faux lambskin cover.
Main Points:
- Esse II is also more stable and stands higher than the original, meaning that transitioning between positions that require standing is much more comfortable.
- The mini scoop accessory allows you to transform this chair into a bed perfectly fit for erotic massages.
- Although it requires more assembly than the original product, the instructions for putting it together are easy to follow.
- This chair is so chic and blends so seamlessly into your decor that it could also function as an everyday couch - I frequently use mine to read or watch TV.

Esse Chaise II
The Esse Chaise II combines the sleeker, more versatile pleasures of the original Chaise with the premium features present in the II products.
Main Points:
- The Chaise II also doubles as lounge furniture that can be converted into a stable, sturdy sex chair in virtually no time.
- The adjustable headrest and the narrow width provide for more options to enjoy in a premium setting.
- Due to the maple feet, the option to complement this product with a Flip Stage is missing. The height of the chair is also by default different than the Chaise I’s. So if you are hell-bent on getting a product with further adjustability, you might want to stick with the I model here.

If you're still undecided: Liberator Conversion Kits
After all that reading, you might still be confused over which Esse to choose. The great thing is that you can “upgrade” the original Esse lounger.
If you buy the Esse and end up wishing you’d got the Esse II, just order the Liberator Conversion kit to adapt your Esse into an Esse II.
The conversion kit includes:
- A new microfiber cover, available in your choice of color.
- A wooden base.
- Maple wooden feet.
You simply remove your current cover, place your current foam on top of the conversion base and add the new cover on top. Then you add the feet.
Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy!
Conclusion: Is it worth the price?
Liberator Esse chairs are among the most premium, trustworthy, best sex chairs on the market. It gives you and your partner enough comfort to try out stuff that otherwise would have been riskier on a regular bed. The various different buying options also let you choose the type of experience you are looking for.
With the ease in handling, cleaning, and guaranteed longevity, I cannot recommend enough the Liberator Esse line. I would suggest that if you can afford it, you buy one of the II products. I personally have used both the Esse I and Esse II, and the difference between them is certainly worth the extra cost.
If you want to make your sex life more comfortable while also making it more exciting, these chairs are just right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get an Esse Black Label?
As mentioned above, Black Label versions of these chairs are premium products for those feeling a bit kinkier, as it comes with a set of bondage cuffs. However, if you have your own set of handcuffs, you should not put up the extra money for this version.
What are the weight capacities of the chairs?
The weight capacities of chairs vary. The basic models range between 40 and 50 lbs, while the better reinforced II and Black Label models can go up to 80 pounds.
