If you’ve ever abandoned a perfectly good sex position because your knees hurt, your arms were tired, or your body simply said absolutely not, allow me to introduce you to the extremely practical world of sex pillows. Unlike the regular pillows currently being crushed into submission on your bed, sex pillows and wedges are specifically designed to support your body and help you get into—and actually stay in—different positions more comfortably.

True to their name, sex pillows are “firm foam cushions, usually covered in a wipeable, body-safe material, designed to prop you up at an angle during sex,” explains Alicia Sinclair, sex educator and founder and CEO of Le Wand. “Think of them as furniture for your sex life. They hold a position for you so you don't have to burn a hundred calories just staying propped up on your elbows.”

And that support can do a lot more than save your upper-body strength. Depending on the shape and where you put it, a sex pillow can help change the angle of penetration, make certain areas easier to reach during oral sex, or take pressure off your knees, hips, back, arms, and wrists. Sinclair says they can be especially useful for people with limited mobility or back, hip, or knee pain, as well as during pregnancy, but you certainly don’t need a specific reason to appreciate a position that suddenly requires approximately 75 percent less effort.

The best sex pillow for you ultimately depends on what you want to do with it. Some wedges are small enough to slide under your hips, while larger ramps can support more of your body, and stackable sets give you options for switching things up. Below, we rounded up the best sex pillows and wedges for different positions, bodies, budgets, and bedroom setups. (Your knees can thank us later.)

Liberator Wedge

Pros

  • Supportive and plus-size friendly

Cons

  • Some reviewers found the angle too severe

Liberator is one of the best-known brands in the world of sex pillows, and the Wedge is a bestseller for a reason: It really delivers. In addition to having a moisture-wicking, machine-washable outer cover, it has a 27-degree angle that can change the angle of penetration for a whole bunch of positions.

THE REVIEW: According to one reviewer, “I must say that I wish I would have purchased this product sooner. It’s very easy to use, great for multiple positions, and the cover is removable so you can wash it. The best part is that it maintains its shape and is very supportive. My wife and I love this and we use it all the time.”

THE REVIEW: “This is probably one of the best purchases I’ve ever had off Amazon," reads one review. "We already have an amazing sex life, but this pillow brings it to a whole new level.

Once you’re done, you can remove the micro velvet cover and toss it in the wash.

THE REVIEW: “This thing is great!” writes one shopper. “Very firm foam so you don’t sink into it but feel supported. The cover is washable and it has a nylon inner cover to keep the foam clean. A fun and good-looking addition to our bedroom!”

best firm sex pillow

Dame Pillo

Pros

  • Incredibly versatile yet discreet

Cons

  • Can be a little too firm

Sure, this seems like a cute, cozy throw pillow, but thanks to its shape and cushy, memory-foam-like material, Dame’s Pillo can actually be used for a wide variety of sex positions. You’ll love that it features grabbable handles and a machine-washable outer cover, as well as the fact that it’s discreet enough to keep out at all times.

THE REVIEW: "Hands down one of the best 'toys' we’ve invested in," one tester raves. "Helps to support in some fun new positions and allows for different angles in some of your more basic ones. I love the fact that you can leave it out and it looks like a pillow instead of what it really is: an amazing product that can take your fun to another level."

Pros

  • Amazingly effective for the price

Cons

  • Can develop holes pretty easily

This inflatable wedge has earned hundreds of five-star reviews for its comfort, sturdiness, and reasonable price—and as a bonus, it's super easy to inflate, even in the heat of the moment.

THE REVIEW: “My S.O. inflated it for me earlier this evening with about 4 or 5 big breaths,” writes one reviewer. “It gets really firm and holds air. It doesn’t stretch out under my weight either. It definitely improves the ‘angle’ for the act so he hits just the right spot.”

Pros

  • Perfect for anyone who needs plenty of support

Cons

  • A bit on the bulky side

Another pick from Liberator, and for good reason. This contoured sex ramp features high and low curves designed to support your head, back, and knees during a variety of sex positions, especially if the positions you enjoy tend to put too much pressure on your joints. “For doggy style, a ramp under the hips takes the strain off your arms and wrists,” Sinclair says.

THE REVIEW: According to one tester, “Love this. We have had a lot of fun with this. My husband has had five back surgeries and this changed our lives. Works really good and created lots of laughs. It even makes some of the positions not painful like they use to be. Highly recommended!”

THE REVIEW: "It's pretty comfortable and def allows for deeper penetration," writes one reviewer. "It does form some sweat puddles in the seat where your butt goes, so I recommend putting a towel over it. It's absolutely worth the money."

Pros

  • Inflates for easy storage and travel
  • A mount for hands-free fun with sex toys

Cons

  • Not the best for sleeping

You don’t move around very much in it, and it has the lovely Yogibo cover."

best sex pillow for sitting upright

Fresh Frenzy Luxury Wedge Pillow

Pros

  • Has a side phone pocket

Cons

  • Cushion is on the firmer side

Okay, this is a winner anytime you want to sit upright in bed and need some extra back support. It can also help ease strain on your neck during certain positions, and it works as a headboard cushion or even a headboard alternative. Finally, something actually soft to rest your head against while in bed!

THE REVIEW: As one shopper writes, "Amazingly thick and comfortable wedge cushion! Very well made and looks just as the picture. It is high enough to cover roughly half of my headboard, so makes for a very supportive back rest."

How to choose the best sex pillow

Sex pillows can make all kinds of positions more comfortable, whether you’re having partnered sex or enjoying some solo time. But the right one for you depends on your body, how you plan to use it, and where you plan to use it. Here’s what to keep in mind while shopping.

Consider the size and shape

Sex pillows come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, so you’ll want to choose one that’s best suited to your needs. Want something compact that you can take on trips or easily stow in your closet? A small wedge should do the trick. Looking for more full-body support or multiple angles? A larger ramp or stackable set may be worth the investment. Sinclair also recommends considering your height and the height of your bed or preferred surface, since “the angle that works on the floor might not work on a tall mattress.”

Check the firmness

Firmness matters—a lot. “Too soft and it'll compress under weight and stop doing its job,” Sinclair says. Look for a sex pillow made with dense, supportive foam that can hold its shape while still feeling comfortable against your body.

Look for an easy-to-clean material

Because, well, sex can get messy. Sinclair recommends looking for a removable, machine-washable cover or, at minimum, a wipeable, waterproof material like faux leather or vinyl. That way, cleanup doesn't become an entire post-sex project.

Look for bonus features

Some sex pillows stick to contoured support, while others come with extras like holes for holding sex toys in place, handles, or adapters for attaching cuffs. You certainly don't need any of those features, but they can be worth considering depending on how you plan to use your pillow.
