Quick answer
What is Reverse Deckchair?
This is rear-entry with her folded and relaxed — like the deckchair, but flipped. She lies on her back with her knees drawn toward her chest, and he enters from above, facing her feet rather than her face. The angle is deep and direct, the view is different, and she gets to rest while he controls the depth. She lies on her back with knees bent and drawn in; he kneels over her, facing her feet. (This guide uses Him and Her so the steps are easy to picture. Swap who does which role if that fits your bodies better.) One golden rule: her hips stay supported by the bed or a pillow — never let her lower back arch unsupported.
Try saying…
"Fold in more, or relax?"
When is Reverse Deckchair best — and when is it not?
Best for
- Couples who want deep rear-entry angles without leaving the bed
- Partners who enjoy a different view while keeping her comfortable and supported
- Nights when she wants to relax completely while he takes the lead
- Medium energy sessions — he does the positioning, she receives
- Easy depth control — he adjusts with hip movement and hand placement
- Her hands free to touch herself, grip the bed, or rest at her sides
- Building on classic rear-entry or the G-Whiz when you want a new angle
Not ideal when
- Skip or adjust if she has tight hamstrings, hip stiffness, or lower back sensitivity
- Not for couples who need face-to-face contact — this is rear-entry, not eye-to-eye
- Avoid if either of you has knee pain that makes kneeling uncomfortable
- Less ideal for beginners who haven't explored rear-entry positions first
- Not the position for quick, spontaneous sessions — setup and comfort checks matter
- Skip if she feels any pulling or strain in her lower back when knees are drawn in
- Avoid on very soft mattresses where her hips sink and the angle collapses
What do you need to set up for Reverse Deckchair?
- Surface: a bed with a medium-firm mattress, or a padded floor surface
- Pillows: one firm pillow under her hips (recommended); optional under her head; optional under her lower back
- Props: water-based lube within reach; a small towel nearby
- Clothes: start in what feels comfortable — undress together or keep a top on
- Lube: apply a small amount before you begin; the folded angle means more friction
- Roles: she lies on her back with knees drawn toward chest; he kneels over her, facing her feet. (Swap who does which role if that fits your bodies better.)
- 10-second consent check: "Folded back tonight, or face-to-face?" — either answer is fine
How do you do Reverse Deckchair step by step?
Step 1 — Get comfortable with her hips supported
- 1She lies on her back near the middle of the bed, head on a pillow.
- 2He slides a firm pillow or wedge under her hips so her pelvis tilts gently upward.
- 3She relaxes into the support; the lift should feel easy, not strained.
Step 2 — Fold her legs in slowly
- 4She draws both knees toward her chest, only as far as feels comfortable.
- 5Her feet can rest on the bed, in the air, or against his chest — whatever feels natural.
- 6He checks that she looks comfortable; the fold should feel like a rest, not a strain.
Step 3 — He positions himself
- 7He kneels over her, straddling her hips, facing her feet rather than her face.
- 8He adjusts his knees so he's aligned with her hips, not too far forward or back.
- 9Take a few slow breaths together before anything changes.
Step 4 — Line up before you rush
- 10He guides himself to her entrance, adjusting his hip angle to match her tilt.
- 11She tells him if the angle feels right, too steep, or needs a slight shift.
- 12Slide the pillow higher or lower if the alignment isn't comfortable yet.
Step 5 — Start slow and read the rear angle
- 13Begin shallow and unhurried; the folded position makes each movement feel direct.
- 14She says what feels good; he follows the pace she sets.
- 15Either of you can slow down, ease off, or lower her legs anytime.
Step 6 — Find the rhythm that fits tonight
- 16She can relax her legs further or draw them closer as the moment builds.
- 17He can adjust depth with small hip shifts; she controls the intensity with leg position and feedback.
- 18Pause anytime to breathe, adjust the pillow, or lower her legs to rest.
Step 7 — Finish or transition together
- 19Slow down together when you're ready; lower her legs gently before withdrawing.
- 20Remove the pillow slowly so she doesn't drop suddenly.
- 21Cuddle, talk, or transition to a more relaxed position while you're still connected.

How do you vary rhythm and pleasure in Reverse Deckchair?
Try these paces
- Slow and folded: long, unhurried movements with her legs relaxed; feel the angle do the work
- Medium and steady: a consistent rhythm that builds without rushing; good for exploring the rear angle
- Short and deep: brief deeper movements with pauses; she controls the depth by adjusting leg fold
- Still and held: he holds deep, grinds gently; she grips the bed or her own legs
Upgrades
- Firmer pillow or wedge: a foam wedge holds its shape better than a soft pillow and keeps the folded angle stable
- Her hands on her own thighs: she guides the fold angle, controlling how open or closed she is
- His hands on her hips or thighs: he holds her steady, controlling the depth with his grip
- Grind instead of thrust: small circular movements from him while kneeling; she feels every shift
- Add a small external toy: her free hand can bring a vibrator into play while he controls the rhythm
- Vary the leg fold: she can draw knees closer for more intensity, or relax them for a break
How do you stay comfortable and avoid mistakes?
Tight hamstrings or hips (her): don't draw knees fully in — a gentle bend is enough. The pillow under her hips does the angle work. Sore knees (him): place a folded towel or small pillow under his knees. Don't kneel on bare floor or thin padding. Height gap: a firm pillow or wedge under her hips lines you up without either of you straining. Bigger bodies: a wedge under her hips plus a wider knee stance for him gives comfort and depth without pressure. Low flexibility: keep legs low and relaxed with a gentle bend; skip the full fold. Even a slight knee bend changes the rear angle significantly. Lower back sensitivity (her): use a wedge instead of a pillow; it supports the whole lower back, not just the hips. Stop if any sharpness appears. Reminder: these are comfort tips, not medical advice.
Common mistakes
- Forcing her legs in too far or too fast → start with a gentle bend; draw in more only when it feels easy. Her comfort controls the depth.
- He forgets the pillow and relies on her flexibility alone → the pillow or wedge is essential; it creates the angle so her legs don't have to do all the work.
- Working on a too-soft mattress (hips sink, angle collapses) → move to a firmer surface or use a thicker wedge.
- Silent guessing on whether the fold is too much → one quick check: "More fold, or less?" — adjust the pillow or leg position in seconds.
- He kneels too far forward or back → align his hips with hers before entering. Too far forward and he misses the angle; too far back and he strains.
- Ignoring lower back strain → her lower back will complain first if unsupported. A wedge under her hips is non-negotiable.

Reverse Deckchair: frequently asked questions
Essentially yes — and that changes the dynamic completely. She gets to relax, he gets control, and the angle is deep without the physical demands of doggy style. It's rear-entry, made comfortable.
It shouldn't. Her legs fold only as far as comfortable, and the pillow supports her hips. If anything feels sharp, too tight, or uncomfortable, lower her legs or remove the pillow. Pain means stop and adjust.
Start with Soft Reverse Deckchair — feet flat on the bed is enough. The pillow does the angle work; her legs don't need to fold fully. Flexibility is not required.
Start with Soft Reverse Deckchair or Pillow Reverse Deckchair. Explore some rear-entry positions first, then add the gentle fold. Build up to deeper angles as comfort allows.
A firm pillow or wedge under her hips usually fixes height gaps. If he's still straining, she can keep her feet lower, which reduces the fold while keeping some angle.
Yes — any couple can use the folded rear-entry angle. The mechanics adapt to any combination of bodies. Swap who lies back and who kneels over.
She tells you. Communication is essential. A quick "more fold or less?" keeps you both in sync. Her breathing and sounds tell you plenty too.
