5 cuddle positions every couple needs to try at least once
1. The Spoon
This is classic. If there’s such a thing as the vanilla ice cream of cuddling, spooning is it.
It has many benefits, like allowing for full-body contact, easily accommodating different partner shapes and sizes, and not forcing you to stare into the other person’s eyes the whole time.
2. Cuddle Hug
Lie on your sides facing each other, hug and…just keep hugging. Super intimate and a great way to connect with some eye contact and kisses.
3. Half Spoon
In the underrated Half Spoon, lay your head on your partner’s chest while they lie on their back with their arm around you, or vice versa. You can listen to their heartbeat or fall asleep.
4. Intertwining Legs
This is the best position if you want a little connection but aren’t that into cuddling! Lie side by side on your backs and intertwine your legs freestyle “like they’re headphone cables
5. Lounge Chair Cuddle
This position can allow the receiving partner (the one leaning back) to feel supported, cared for, and desired, Tumbling says. Simultaneously, it may allow the giving partner to feel confident in being able to provide support. This is another position that may increase feelings of connection and vulnerability—and on multiple levels.
