Wedge

Pros

  • Available in 24 and 30 inch
  • High density foam actually supports your body
  • Machine washable case
  • Available in a wide range of color waves
  • 27 degree angle optimizes variety of positions

The sex pillow standing at top of the podium, demarcated as the most worthy to lay on your bed alongside you and your boo(s) is the Liberator Wedge. Heck, Play went as far as to say it should be a staple in every couple’s bedroom.

Made from a high-density foam, this wedge can actually hold your body up so that you remain in position all romp all. You could, for example, add it under the receiver’s hips during missionary sex—including missionary oral— to tilt their hips up, making their bits more accessible to their partner’s hand, hog, or hungry mouth. “It takes doggy style up one level,” says Sparks. With a 27 degree angle, putting this underneath your belly helps make G-spot stimulation, as well as deep-deep penetration, more easily achievable, she says.

The Liberator Wedge comes outfitted with a moisture-resistant, machine-washable liner, which is available in a handful of flashy and subtle colors. Just unzip the case when all is said and cum, and throw it in the washing machine. Easy clean-up following easy positioning for the win.

Dimensions 24″L x 14″W x 7″H

Pros

  • Removable and machine-washable case
  • Comfortable, despite being firm
  • Apartment-friendly size
  • Great for cunnilingus and analingus

Cons

  • Shorter and smaller than alternative options
  • Only available in two (boring) colors

The Dame Pillo may be our second-place finisher overall, however it is our top pick for apartment renters and tiny-home dwells. Just 18-inches wide and 15-inches long, this sex pillow is far smaller than other options on the list, which makes it ideal for space-conscious sex-havers.

The ultimate proof that small can be mighty, however, this pillow will still effectively support your body during all kinds of penetrative and non-penetrative play. Personally, I think it’s the best option for oral sex of all kinds from the missionary position. The rounded edges of the pillow feel co it comfortable on the receivers lower-back, meanwhile its slight angle and height means I can still see my partner while they go to town. As a person who loves to watch my partner suck and slurp, lick and flick, the fact that my view isn’t inhibited is huge.

This firm-but-cushiony pillow also comes with a waterproof liner that’s removable, so you can throw it in the washing machine if sex on it gets messy,” says Al Fine, CEO of Dame. “Sex is juicy! We might not want those juices on our pillows at night.” True!

Pros

  • Small-space friendly
  • Travel-friendly
  • Discreet
  • Available in a wide variety of fun colors

Cons

  • Probably too small for plus-sized folks

Made by the same company as the gold-medalist, the Liberator Jaz offers up all the same benefits of the Wedge accessible to those who have to be space-conscious. The compact pillow is made from comfortable-yet-sturdy foam that can lift your hips whether you’re on your belly or back.

Sparks also recommends it for people who are brand spanking new to the world of sex pillows, as “it is smaller than your bed pillow but wide enough for most people’s hips,” she says. It allows you to enjoy the experience of having something other than your own muscles keep you in position, without contorting you into unfamiliar positions, she explains.

“It also comes in a variety of colors to match your bedroom decor and you can just leave it on the bed,” adds Sparks. Oh, and the microfiber cover is moisture-resistant and machine-washable, so you never have to worry about saturating its innards with your squirt, piss, or jizz and clean-up is always a breeze.

Material High-density foam

Dimensions 14″H x 18″W x 6″D

Pros

  • Great for dual-stimulation and double-penetration
  • Enables hands-free penetration and vibration
  • Actually looks like a bed pillow
  • Ideal for face-down masturbation
  • Not one, but two, sex toy pockets

Cons

  • Sex toy not included
  • Not as sturdy as alternative option

To the naked eye, The Liberator Humphrey Toy Mount Sex Pillow looks like any ‘ole bed pillow. However, at the heart of the toy are two separate sex toy patches and pockets.

The larger pocket can hold a larger toy—think: a wand vibrator or a dildo—so you can get on your knees and ride or grind against them hands-free. Meanwhile, the smaller pouch is sized just-right for smaller vibrators, like bullet vibrators.

Together, the two pockets work-together to make the options endless during your solo or partnered play. You might mount an anal-safe dildo in this pillow, then have a partner add their penis or strap-on into the mix for a little two-person double-penetration. Or, you might lay on your belly on the pillow, with a vibrator positioned against your external genitals so you can get that feel-good pulse while your partner pounds you from behind. Hot!

Given its shape, even when you’re not using a sex toy, you can use this product like a regular sex pillow to prop up various body parts.

Pros

  • Can be inflated and deflated based on need
  • Subtle hole for sex toy
  • Supports up to 300 pounds
  • Less expensive option
  • Waterproof and can be washed directly
  • Pump included with purchase

Cons

  • May start to sag if being used by two or more people
  • Angle may be too steep for shorter bodies

The inflatable, half-moon option from MISSTU gives you access to a sex pillow when you want. But gives you the option of folding it up and putting it completely away when you don’t. (Deflation takes less than three minutes total, and inflation is easy thanks to the pump included with purchase).

Once the toy is inflated, you can bend over it to position your hips and butt in the air. This opens you right up, so your partner can get deep during doggy. This angle also spreads your cheeks enough that their tongue can get all up in there! The pillow also has a hole that you can insert a vibrator or dildo into, so you can straddle it like a Motorbunny sex machine. (FYI: Reviewers recommend inserting the toy before you blow it up.)

Beyond being small-space friendly, this option is budget-friendly, too. Ringing up at under $10, this cheaper alternative won’t put you out financially. Oh, and the external portion of the pillow is waterproof, and the entire pillow can be thrown in the wash after use.

Machine Washable Cover? No
Material PVC
Weight 8.4 oz
Dimensions 8.35″L x 7.48″W x 2.2″H

Pros

  • Blindfold and cuffs
  • Same 27-degree angle as Liberator Wedge
  • Machine-washable cover

Cons

  • Position of cuff clips can be awkward in certain positions
  • May be too wide for people with short arms or legs

The Wedge with Cuffs puts a kinky twist on the first-place finisher, the Liberator Wedge original. This highly-rated sex pillow comes with a blindfold, and plush cuffs that can be clipped to the wedge within seconds.

The blindfold allows you to dampen your sense of sight (duh), which amplifies the sensation of everything else, Emily Morse, sexologist and host of the Sex With Emily podcast, previously told Men’s Health. “All of a sudden, unexpected touches and kisses create waves of pleasure that can turbo-charge arousal. And the anticipation of what’s coming next can be enough to drive you over the edge,” she says.

Meanwhile, the cuffs can be used to restrain arm or leg movement, depending on whether you clip them to your wrists or ankles. Plusher than other handcuffs on the market, the cuffs included with this sex pillow will restrain you without risk of rubbing your skin raw. Popping your ankles in them, then spreading your knees wide while the pillow supports your back, for example, will give your partner a seriously good look at your its and bits.

As is the case with any kink play, just be sure to talk about desires and limits ahead of time and come up with a safe word. K?

Pros

  • Foam constructive is supportive enough for small to medium bodies
  • Great for solo and side sex
  • Affordable
  • Multi-tasking wedge doubles as pregnancy wedge or lap desk

Cons

  • Only available in boring white that will get dirty easily
  • Does not include a machine-washable cover

On the lookout for an affordable, no frills wedge pillow? Time to add the Small Wedge Sex Pillow to your shopping cart. This option has a 15-inch ramp that effectively angles your goods for super deep penetration, and its foam construction provides firm-but-still comfortable support.

The pillow is just 7 inches thick, which makes it a better aid for side positions like spooning. The person in front can prop the wedge between their knees, which will keep their thighs spread so that their genitals can more-easily be found and filled. Someone who enjoys masturbating on their side might slide the pillow right to the apex of their parts, then rub themselves against the pillow’s edge.

The main downside of this pillow is that it does not come with a cover, which makes it harder to clean as is. Worse, the wedge is white which means you’ll be able to see as it gets dirty. For what it’s worth, however, I’ve found this pillow really easy to hand wash with a small amount of detergent in the sink.

Material Foam
Weight 12.48 oz
Dimensions 15”L x 5.5”W x 7”H

Pros

  • Blind fold, handcuffs, and ankle-cuffs come included
  • Wedge and ramp can be used together or separately
  • Incredibly versatile
  • Covers are removable and machine-washable
  • Available in faux leather, too
  • Great for bigger bodies

Cons

  • Takes up a lot of space, even when stacked
  • Big investment

The ultimate two-for-one special, the Liberator Black Wedge/ Ramp Combo comes with our top overall sex pillow pick *and* and the Liberator Ramp, which is essentially a sexified gymnastics triangle.

In addition to being able to use the two top-selling pillows separately, “the two can be fit or stacked together to adjust to all body types and sex positions,” says Sparks. The high-density foam that makes up both pillows may be sturdy, but it’s softer on your knees than most mattresses. As such, rider-on-top positions aren’t just feasible, but fun.

This combo option also “comes with a blindfold, handcuffs, and ankle cuffs that easily attach to the pillows,” says Sparks. “It’s a fun entry into some light kink and sensory deprivation.”

Both pieces are covered in a synthetic, water-resistant case that protects the pillow’s innards from moisture and stains. The liners are also machine washable, which makes clean-up as easy as unzipping the cases and pressing a few buttons on the washer.

Pros

  • Discreet size and shape
  • Available in a wide variety of colors
  • Great option for oral

Cons

  • Not optimal for people who really need lower-back support

Oh, cute! It’s a heart! Well, yes, but it’s also strategically shaped to make for easier access to certain key areas. The foam interior will hold its shape when you drape yourself over its curves, face-down ass-up style. Get in this position, it won’t just be the pillow that’s heart-shaped—your partner’s eyes will be, too.

You could also have one partner lie on their back so that their booty is aligned with the curves of the pillow. The little outlet between the heart’s humps makes room for their head and checks, so they can perform oral surgery without straining their neck. Because the pillow has both curved sides and an edged one, it can also be humped in a variety of ways.

People who need more pinpointed pressure should position the squared edge as close to their hot-spots as possible, while those who enjoy more broad pressure and surface area can use the curved sides. When you’re done making sweet, sweet love to yourself or to your partner(s), just take the micro-velvet case off and throw it in the hamper. Yep, it’s machine-washable.

The Difference Between A Regular Pillow And A Sex Pillow

What makes a sex pillow so special? The main difference between a sex pillow and a standard pillow is the height and angle. Regular pillows are soft and allow your head to sink in, whereas sex pillows are more firm and designed to keep you propped up and in one place to hit that *perfect* spot and hopefully result in an orgasm (or multiple). Sex pillows are also angled to make sex more comfortable and pleasurable by providing support for different parts of the body so all you have to focus on is embracing the full spectrum of sexual pleasure.

How Do Sex Pillows Make Sex Better?

“Sex pillows are great for reducing pain, and increasing pleasure,” says Al Fine, founder and CEO of Dame. “They help adjust the angels in genital and body interaction, and provide support. It’s like how being in a supported bridge in yoga is very different from being in an active bridge: same idea!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a sex wedge pillow do?

Put simply, they reduce pain while increasing pleasure, says Fine. “They provide support and help adjust the angles during genital and body interaction, and provide support,” they explain. Basically, sex pillows are yoga blocks for, well, another kind of acrobatics.
