#1 Best Overall: Screamer Dual Hook Sex Swing
- Best for: most couples, especially first-time buyers
- Skip it if: you only have one mounting point (see the Whipsmart) or can't mount to a ceiling at all (see the door swing)
- Mounting: 2 ceiling points
- Weight limit: 136 kg
- Price: Original price was: NZD $463.NZD $408Current price is: NZD $408.

Why it's our top pick
The Screamer is our #1 selling swing. The dual hook design spreads the seat wider than a single hook swing, so the straps support you instead of digging in. The 10 cm webbing is wider than most swings use, it adjusts to fit very different body sizes, and it works with every accessory we sell. Handles and a storage bag are included.
It's also the only swing on this list with 10 cm webbing, padded handles, and its own storage bag. (The Bondage Kit below is built on the same swing.) Those details are why it has been our best seller for years, and why it's where we tell most couples to start.
What we found in testing
The Screamer is the only swing here with a drawbar spring. It's there for safety: it adds a little give, which takes some of the jolt off your hardware. The trade-off is that a spring can squeak, and a few reviewers have mentioned it.
The fix is simple. Most people would reach for the WD-40. In our house the answer is always the same: get the lube. One drop of lube on the spring and the squeak is gone. (Yes, in our house lube really is for everything.)
“AMAZING! WAY WAY WAYYYYYYYY BETTER than that bargain one my wife got off Amazon. She would complain about straps digging in and hurting. She was cozy in this one and regularly requests it now.”
— Phillip Eddins, age 37, verified buyer
Pros:
- Dual hook design for maximum comfort
- 10 cm webbing
- Works with all accessories
- Highly adjustable
- Includes handles and a storage bag
- Drawbar safety spring
Cons:
- Requires 2 mounting points
- The safety spring can squeak (a drop of lube fixes it)

#2 Best Sling: Strict Leather Sling
- Best for: long sessions and anyone who loves leather
- Skip it if: you can't install 4 mounting points, or you want the widest range of positions
- Mounting: 4 ceiling points (free chain kit included)
- Weight limit: 159 kg
- Price: NZD $929
- Rating:
Why it's our pick
A sling supports your whole body instead of just your hips and back, which makes it the most comfortable option for long sessions. This one is made from beautiful leather that's easy to clean. The trade-off is installation: a sling hangs from 4 points, so it needs more space and more hardware than a swing.
What we found in testing
The leather holds up well over time, and cleanup is about as easy as it gets: wipe it down with a damp rag. Use a leather cleaner if you want to go the extra mile.
For comfort, nothing on this list beats it. This is the kind of sling you can just sit in and relax. Read a steamy romance novel in it and get in the mood before play even starts.
One thing to know: if play gets really rough, or the sling is overloaded, extra stress lands on the rivets. The way to avoid that is to hang the straps as straight as possible. Our sling installation guide shows you how.
“Fantastic service. Sling and stand came quickly, great product, very high quality. No complaints!”
— Verified buyer, age 40
Pros:
- Maximum comfort
- Real leather, wipes clean with a damp rag
- Very secure, stable support
- FREE chain kit & free shipping
Cons:
- Requires 4 mounting points
- Limited positions
- Very rough use puts stress on the rivets (hang the straps straight)

#3 Best Bondage Swing: Screamer Bondage Kit
- Best for: couples who want restraint play built in
- Skip it if: you're not interested in restraints. Get the Screamer on its own and add cuffs later if you want them.
- Mounting: 2 ceiling points
- Weight limit: 136 kg
- Price: Original price was: NZD $652.NZD $558Current price is: NZD $558.
- Rating:
Why it's our pick
This kit is our #1 swing, the Screamer Dual Hook, plus 4 leather cuffs and adjustable restraint straps. You get the same comfort and safety as our top pick, with everything you need to explore your kinky side in one box.
What we found in testing
Bondage in a swing isn't like rope bondage or being tied to a post. You still have freedom to move. Each cuff has a short adjustable strap that clips to different points on the swing, so you choose how much or how little you're held in place. Bondage is as much a mental thing as being tied tight, and the feeling of being held in position goes a long way.
Want more restraint? Pair the kit with the Screamer swing stand. The stand gives you extra tie points, so arms and legs can be held out and away from the swing.
As with any restraint: keep the cuffs snug but not tight, and never leave a restrained partner alone.
From a Screamer Dual Hook owner (the same swing that comes in this kit):
“We purchased our Screamer Dual Hook 2 years ago. BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT. We use it almost exclusively now.”
— John Tippett, age 54, Yakima
Pros:
- Dual hook swing for comfort and safety
- Adjustable restraint straps clip to different points on the swing
- Pairs with a stand for extra tie points
- FREE headrest & free shipping
Cons:
- Requires 2 mounting points

#4 Best Spinning Swing: Whipsmart Pleasure Swing + Swivel
- Best for: spinning play, and rooms with only one mounting point
- Skip it if: she has wide hips. Even with the thick padding, the narrow bar can squeeze.
- Mounting: 1 ceiling point
- Weight limit: 91 kg
- Price: Original price was: NZD $409.NZD $372Current price is: NZD $372.
- Rating:
Why it's our pick
There is nothing better for spinning than the Whipsmart. The narrow 36 cm bar means nobody gets whacked in the head when it turns. To be honest, that narrow bar can put pressure on the hips, but it's very well padded to compensate. It hangs from a single mounting point, which also makes it the easiest ceiling swing on this list to install.
What we found in testing
The Whipsmart isn't a spinning swing on its own. We sell it as a kit with a swivel because of its bar. At 36 cm, it's much narrower than most swings, which run 48 to 53 cm, and nothing like the 81 cm bar on the Screamer Twist. When you spin someone, that narrow bar turns easily and stays clear of your head.
The thick padding helps make up for the narrow bar. But if she has wide hips, this swing will still feel narrow and squeeze. For a wider seat, look at the Screamer Dual Hook or the Wild Side. Both are wider and put less pressure on the hips, but you give up spinning.
“I mounted it in my pool equipment housing, close to the hot tub. On the path to the spa I stopped her and pointed to my granddaughter's pink swing in the tree. Then I pointed to the Whipsmart swing. I said ‘take your pick!' OMG she grinned so much!!”
— Brad Cutright, age 67
Pros:
- Narrow bar is great for spinning
- Thick, firm padding
- Single mounting point
- Removable straps
- FREE headrest & free shipping
Cons:
- Narrow seat can squeeze wider hips, even with the padding

#5 Best Budget Swing: Wild Side Sex Swing
- Best for: buyers on a budget who still want real comfort
- Skip it if: you're a heavier person, or you want handles and a storage bag. The Screamer's 10 cm webbing spreads the load better.
- Mounting: 2 ceiling points
- Weight limit: 125 kg
- Price: Original price was: NZD $240.NZD $221Current price is: NZD $221.
- Rating:
Why it's our pick
The Wild Side was built for people on a budget. It has much better padding than other swings at this price, and its wide dual hook design is comfortable on her hips. If a cheap swing from a marketplace is your other option, this is the one to get instead.
What we found in testing
The Wild Side is still a dual hook swing, so it's still a good choice for wider hips. The padding is about as thick as the Screamer's. The difference is what's underneath it. Like every swing we carry except the Screamer, the Wild Side is built on 5 cm webbing. Its 10 cm of foam sits on that narrower strap, so the foam can fold over the webbing, and you feel more pressure in your legs, especially if you're a heavier person. On the Screamer, the padding sits on 10 cm webbing, so it's fully supported.
You also give up the Screamer's handles and storage bag. But that's the whole point of a budget swing: you give up a few extras and keep a lot more money in your pocket. You still get a padded dual hook seat, and it comes in 5 colors. Right now it's the only swing we sell with color options. If price matters most, this is the best swing you'll find for the money.
“Don't waste your time with the garbage on Amazon. This is a very sturdy and very comfortable swing. Great price, even when you get all the attachments.”
— Verified buyer, The Bronx
Pros:
- Lower price
- Comes in 5 colors (our only swing with color options)
- Nicely padded
- Dual hook for comfort
- Removable straps
- FREE headrest & free shipping
Cons:
- More separate straps to hang and adjust than some swings
- Padding sits on 5 cm webbing, so the foam can fold over and press into your legs
- No handles or storage bag

#6 Best Door Swing: Deluxe Door Swing Sex Swing
- Best for: renters, travel, and anyone who can't mount to a ceiling
- Skip it if: you want lots of positions. A ceiling swing or a stand gives you far more range.
- Mounting: over a standard door, no drilling
- Weight limit: 136 kg for the swing. Your door and door frame are the real limit, so check them first.
- Price: NZD $125
- Rating:
Why it's our pick
To be honest, door swings are our least favorite type of swing. If you can use a ceiling mount or a stand, do. But if a door is your only option, this is the one we'd pick. It's portable, affordable, and quick to install. It goes up and comes down in a standard door with no drilling, so it's a good fit for renters or for taking on a trip. The trade-off is range. A door swing can't match the positions you get from a ceiling swing or a stand.
What we found in testing
Setup takes about 10 seconds, which makes it great for hotels. Just be careful with cheap hollow-core doors.
It has fewer positions than a ceiling swing, but it has one trick a ceiling swing doesn't. In a normal swing, the person in it is just hanging, left to gravity and the swing's motion. With a door swing, some positions let you face the door and put your feet up on the door or the wall. That gives you leverage to push off.
Angela's tip: use a solid door. “A hollow door will not be very sturdy. I got a little too excited once and put my foot right through it.”
Pros:
- About 10-second setup, great for hotels
- Use the door or wall for leverage in some positions
- Portable
- Free shipping
Cons:
- Limited positions
- Small 20 cm seat, less comfortable than a ceiling swing
- Set the height before you get in. A step stool helps.

How we ranked them
Every swing on this list has been physically handled and tested.

SexSwing.com carries every major brand in the category, including brands it owns. Where a competitor product is the stronger choice for a specific use case, this guide says so.
Ranking factors in order of weight: seat comfort under real use conditions, hardware quality and long-term durability, installation flexibility, position range, and value relative to tier. Weight ratings are not a ranking factor. They are a safety floor, not a feature.
Sex swing FAQ
Which sex swing is best for beginners?
For most first-time buyers, the Screamer Dual Hook. It's comfortable, highly adjustable, and works with every accessory, so it grows with you. If you can't mount to a ceiling, start with the door swing or a sex swing stand. For a full walkthrough, see how to choose a sex swing.
Do I have to drill into my ceiling?
No. A door swing hangs over a standard door, and a free-standing sex swing stand needs no ceiling at all. Ceiling swings need 1 to 4 mounting points depending on the model: the Whipsmart uses 1, the Screamer uses 2, and the Strict Leather Sling uses 4. See 7 ways to mount your sex swing.
What's the weight limit of each swing?
- Strict Leather Sling: 159 kg
- Screamer Dual Hook and Screamer Bondage Kit: 136 kg
- Wild Side: 125 kg
- Whipsmart Pleasure Swing: 91 kg
- Deluxe Door Swing: 136 kg, on a solid door with a sturdy frame
You'll see swings online rated for 270 or even 450 kg. Our ratings are deliberately more conservative, because the swing is rarely the weak point. The real risks are the installation (the hook, the joist, the door, the frame) and rough use. A swing is only as strong as what it hangs from. We treat weight ratings as a safety floor, not a feature. For larger bodies, see our guide to plus size sex swings and our installation guide.
What's the difference between a single hook and a dual hook swing?
A dual hook swing hangs from two points, which spreads the seat wider and keeps the straps from squeezing together on the hips. That's a big part of why the Screamer and the Wild Side are so comfortable. A single hook swing is easier to install and can spin. More detail in single hook vs dual hook sex swings.
Can a sex swing spin?
Yes, if it hangs from a single point with a swivel. The Whipsmart + Swivel is our pick for spinning. See spinning sex swings for more.
Why not just buy a cheap swing online?
Many of our customers tried a cheap swing first. The most common complaint is straps that dig in and hurt, which is exactly what better padding and a dual hook seat fix. If price is the main concern, the Wild Side was built for that.
“We tried a cheaper swing to see if we would like it. It wasn't comfortable but we did see the appeal. I purchased the Screamer Sling as a Christmas present for my wife. All I can say is BEST Christmas ever.”
— Ben Sage, age 44
Do the swings come with instructions?
Yes. Every swing has setup and installation instructions online, with videos for most models. Start with our sex swing installation guide.
