SUSPENSION EQUIPMENT

Suspension can literally take your bondage scene to unprecedented heights — but it has its risks too, which means that there’s no room to skimp on your gear. Fortunately, The Stockroom has decades of experience providing Doms and subs with safe, high-quality suspension bondage gear that poses little danger to your bank account. 

Grab one of our sturdy metal suspension bars, some lengths of rope or chain, and you’re ready to lift your BDSM to a new level.  

WHAT IS SUSPENSION BONDAGE?

Suspension bondage is a form of restraint where some or all of a person’s weight is supported off the ground using engineered equipment. In BDSM suspension, the body is lifted, angled, or partially elevated to restrict movement, intensify sensation, and heighten psychological vulnerability. Unlike ground-based restraint, suspension introduces gravity as an active force within the scene.

CORE TYPES OF SUSPENSION EQUIPMENT

This collection focuses on equipment designed to safely support weight, manage load distribution, and integrate with rope, cuffs, or harness systems. Each category serves a specific function within suspension bondage setups.

Suspension Bars

Suspension bars create fixed anchor points above the body, allowing weight to be distributed evenly. Commonly used in partial or full suspension scenes, they control spacing, posture, and balance while maintaining predictable load paths.

Rope, Chains, And Load-Bearing Lines

Rope and chain are foundational elements of suspension bondage. Rope allows for precision tying and gradual tension control, while chains offer minimal stretch and a more rigid, industrial feel. Both require careful planning and experience.

Rings, Swivels, And Anchors

Hardware such as suspension rings and swivels reduce friction and twisting under load. These components are critical for maintaining smooth movement and preventing stress buildup on connection points.

Suspension Cuffs And Attachment Gear

Designed specifically for vertical or partial lift, suspension cuffs distribute pressure and provide reinforced attachment points. They differ from standard cuffs by prioritizing support, padding, and stability.

SUSPENSION AS ADVANCED BDSM GEAR

Suspension equipment occupies the advanced end of BDSM gear. It demands technical knowledge, physical awareness, and active supervision. Scenes often emphasize trust, surrender, and endurance, with the equipment doing much of the work in holding position and maintaining control.
