Bedroom heels we love
Pick your country and every button takes you to the right Amazon store. Prices and sizes change, so check before you buy.
Pleaser LIP-101-8 marabou slipper
Fluffy marabou trim with a clear heel and platform. About a 5.25in heel with a 1in platform. Search for LIP-101-8 if you shop elsewhere.
Richealnana feather heeled slipper
Clear platform heels with faux feathers and a slim transparent heel. Reviews say they run small, so the seller suggests going up a size.

Sharon bought these for a special night and loved them: comfortable, they look amazing and they’re affordable.
Pleaser Delight-608 clear platform
A clear platform sandal with an ankle strap, so it won’t fly off mid-moment. A good first platform.
Pleaser Seduce-3000 boots
Stretch thigh-high boots on a classic stiletto. Great with lingerie or stockings.
Red patent stiletto pumps
A classic shiny red or black pump. Look for an ankle strap if you plan to keep them on.
Bedroom heel style board
Need some inspiration? Here are the bedroom heel styles we love, from soft marabou slippers to thigh-high boots. Tap a style to see what’s available.
Fluffy, flirty and easy to walk in. The classic bedroom heel.
Closed toe, pointed and timeless.
The pole-dancer look, with a 6 inch heel or more.
Patent or stretch, for maximum drama.
Low, comfortable and still a little bit sexy.
For when you want to sparkle.
Closed toe with a hidden platform, so they feel lower than they look.
Corset lacing and a chunky platform.
Are there closed-toe bedroom heels?
Yes. Classic pumps and platform pumps are closed-toe bedroom heels, and they’re a good choice if you prefer your toes covered. A plain stiletto pump like the Pleaser Sexy-20 has a 5 inch heel and a pointed toe. A platform pump like the Pleaser Delight-685 has a 6 inch heel on a 1¾ inch platform.
Pleaser Sexy-20 pump
A 5 inch stiletto with a pointed toe and no platform. Simple, classic and sexy.
Pleaser Delight-685 pump
A 6 inch heel on a 1¾ inch platform, so it feels lower than it looks.
What are the best small or low bedroom heels?
Heeled marabou slippers and kitten heels are the best low bedroom heels, with heels of around 3 inches. The Amour-03 marabou slipper, for example, has a 3 inch heel. They’re easy to walk in and still look the part.
Amour-03 marabou slipper
A slide-on satin mule with fluffy marabou trim and a 3 inch heel.
Kitten heel feather mules
Short heels with feather or fur trim. Comfy for longer wear.
What are the most comfortable bedroom heels?
The most comfortable bedroom heels have a platform, an ankle strap and a gentler slope on your foot. A platform raises the front of your foot as well as the heel, so the angle is gentler. Here’s the surprise: a 7 inch Pleaser Adore with a 2¾ inch platform has a real lift of 4¼ inches, which is gentler than a 5 inch stiletto pump with no platform.
- Choose a platform: it takes the slope off your foot. See our guide to heel heights.
- Go lower: 3 inch slippers and kitten heels are the comfiest for longer wear.
- Look for straps: ankle straps stop your foot sliding forward.
- Get the size right: see our Pleaser size guide.
- Add a gel cushion: ball-of-foot pads help if your feet slide.
What are bedroom heels?
Bedroom heels are simply heels you wear for fun behind closed doors. Search for them and you’ll find everything from fluffy heeled slippers to sky-high platforms and thigh-high boots. It’s a bit like Marmite: you either love the idea or you don’t.
How to wear heels in the bedroom
There are no rules, so it’s really up to your imagination. Pair them with lingerie, pyjamas or nothing at all. After a night out, you could take off everything except your shoes. Bare legs, stockings or hold-ups work better than tights.
Top tip: if you plan to keep them on, choose a pair with an ankle strap or a boot, so they don’t fly off.
Styles to choose from
- Heeled slippers: fluffy, marabou or feather-trimmed mules. Cute and comfortable, if a bit retro.
- Platform heels: for a bolder look. New to platforms? Start with 6-inch heels before going up to 7 or 8 inches. We love light-up platforms, glitter and clear platforms.
- Gun heels: for a James Bond theme. See our gun heel shoes.
- Boots: ankle, knee or thigh-high boots.
- Classic pumps: shiny red or black stilettos for the secretary look.
Do men like heels in the bedroom?
Some do, some don’t, and some love it as a one-off. When Sharon asked her husband, his honest answer was “no, they’d be impractical”. If you both like it, go for it. Black is the safe colour choice, with red or nude close behind.
The best bedroom heel brands
Pleaser and Ellie are the go-to brands for platforms, boots and fluffy mules. Cheaper brands on Amazon can be perfect for the bedroom too, especially if you’re not sure you’ll wear them often.
