What Is a Rimming Chair / Queening Chair?
A rimming chair — also known as a queening chair, facesitting throne, face-sitting stool, smotherbox seat, or queening stool — is a piece of sex furniture with an opening in the seat. One partner kneels, sits, or crouches over the opening; the other lies below for analingus (rimming), oral sex, facesitting, queening, or smothering play.
The furniture handles the structural work — holding both people comfortably without neck strain, back strain, or balance effort — so both partners can focus entirely on what's happening. A good rimming chair is stable, height-adjustable, weight-rated, and comfortable to use for extended sessions. A bad one wobbles, doesn't fit most bodies, and falls apart within six months.
This page compares every major brand making this type of furniture, with honest assessments of what each does well and where they fall short.

What is the difference between a rimming chair, queening chair, and facesitting throne?
These terms describe the same type of furniture — a seat with an opening for facesitting, analingus (rimming), or queening. 'Rimming chair' emphasizes analingus/oral use. 'Queening chair' emphasizes the dominant partner sitting on the submissive's face. 'Facesitting throne' is a more formal/femdom framing. All refer to the same functional design.
How much do rimming chairs cost?
Rimming chairs typically range from ~$100* to $300*+ depending on features and brand. The ASSTRONAUT is sold direct at approximately $150*. Fort Troff prices vary by model — check current retailer listings. Always verify current pricing before purchasing.
What weight capacity should a rimming chair have?
A minimum of 200 lbs is the baseline, but 300+ lbs gives more safety margin. The ASSTRONAUT is rated to 352 lbs; the Master Series Face Rider to 440 lbs. If you're close to the rated limit, choose a chair with more headroom.
Can a rimming chair be used for purposes other than rimming?
Yes — rimming chairs are also used for facesitting, queening, oral sex in general, and smothering play. The ASSTRONAUT specifically supports facesitting, reverse facesitting (for rimming and analingus), and queening positions.
