Edge of the Bed

One partner lies back at the edge of the bed while the other stands or kneels on the floor facing them. Using furniture for support makes this comfortable and stable.

How it feels

A little different from lying side by side, while still easy. Good for couples who want variety without a challenge.

Comfort tips

• Check that the bed height suits the standing partner; a kneeling cushion helps if it is low.
• The partner lying down can rest their feet on a chair or the bed frame.

Talk about it

Check that both of you feel stable before getting comfortable.

Take care

• Use a non-slip rug or mat if the floor is smooth.
