We have the Esse which has a more pronounced curve & is a little taller than the Esse Chaise. We haven't gotten really creative using it but love it with me on top (female). He's comfortable and the shape puts him in a nice position for me and I bear my weight on my legs instead of my knees. Awesome leverage for me - Very nice!

Bonus - with a pillow for my head I find it comfortable to settle down and read on it.

As I've mentioned in previous threads, signing up for the Liberator emails is worth it. They often run sales of xx% off but if you wait you can get the best deal when they run a xx% off sale with free shipping. We got the Esse on sale plus 10-15% off with free shipping. Free shipping alone is a huge savings.
