What is a sex pillow?
The clue is in the name: sex pillows (or a wedge, a cushion, or even a ramp) are basically bedroom accessories designed to create extra cushion for the pushin’!
Have you ever tried to sneak a pillow under your butt cheeks to elevate your hips and hit the sweet spots during sex? Or made use of sofa cushions to achieve acrobatic positions while you hump your honey at home? Sex pillows are designed with this in mind, so think of them as kinky comfort props that will power up the missionary position and make doggy style extra deep.
What are the benefits of sex pillows?
Adding a sex pillow into the mix comes with a number of sensual benefits...
- Extra sexual positions: A well-chosen sex pillow can make acrobatic bedroom fun more accessible and enable you to achieve exciting new positions that lead to greater sexual ecstasy.
- Deeper penetration: If your chosen bedfellow has a penis, using a sex pillow can take the pressure off their (and your) limbs, so you can expect deeper, harder, and more pleasurable penetration.
- Masturbation station: Flying solo? Some sex pillows work as vibrator mounts, so you can ride your favourite vibe hands-free! Leaving you to focus all of your energy on the main event: pleasure, pleasure, and more pleasure.
- BDSM: Fancying trying your hand at spanking, flogging, or shackling your lover in the basement? A sex pillow is ideal for exploring your kinky side without the risk of injury.
- Comfort: Sex pillows are about more than just kink. If you have mobility issues, chronic pain, you’re heavily pregnant and need a hand, or you’re just not super flexible, a cosy wedge will benefit you, too. In short, we all need to add a sex pillow to our bedroom arsenal, stat.

You2Toys Sex Position Cushion With Handcuffs, Tickler & Paddle
Pros
- Great bondage set for beginners
- Comes with repair patches and glue
- Easily wipes clean
Cons
- Not as supportive as other pillows
This inflatable cushion from You2Toys comes with handcuffs, a feather tickler, and a spanking paddle for accessible kinky play, making it a great choice for beginners.
While it might not be the most supportive choice in this list, it offers deeper penetration and enables you to experiment with angles. It can also be wiped down after play, making it really easy to clean. Then, when you’re done, simply let it deflate and store it away for next time.
Best for: BDSM play, experimenting with angles, and discreet storage
Pros
- 'Responsive core' for reliable support of 2 bodies in any position
- Two pillows in one – can be used separately or tighter
- Micro fiber covers are machine washable
Cons
- High price point
There’s nothing discreet about this sex ramp from US brand Liberator, the self-proclaimed ‘premier manufacturer of bedroom adventure gear’ lovingly crafted in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia.
But what it lacks in subtlety, it more than makes up for with clever ergonomic design, so you get a lot of boing for your buck. Every single base is covered including non-stick microfibre covers, moisture-resistant lining, and it even comes with a ‘responsive core’ designed to support two writhing bodies in any position you fancy.
Best for: Acrobatic sex positions, BDSM play, extra staying power, and unparalleled comfort.
Pros
- 'Responsive core' for reliable support of 2 bodies in any position
- Toy holder is suitable for dildos and vibrators
- Machine-washable micro velvet case
Cons
- Higher price point
On paper, sex pillows are great for supplementing steamy sex sessions with a partner, but there’s no reason why you can’t go it alone. This clever toy mount is ideal for solo masturbatory fun, as you can screw in your favourite dildo, jump on board, and ride it all night long.
And unlike real life lovers who need rest breaks, this one can really go the distance. But if you do fancy inviting a friend along for the ride, the high-density foam is firm enough to handle two bodies.
Best for: Solo play, sex toys, and deeper penetration.
Pros
- Discreet
- Washable outer shell and inner liner
Cons
- Some reviewers say it’s a little too tall
Another discreet little sex pillow that can be slipped under sore hips, bruised bums, and weary thighs to help you hit the high notes.
Thanks to the addition of memory foam, the Dame Pillo manages to straddle the gap perfectly between cushiony ride and firm support, so it provides just the right amount of leverage to take your sex sessions up a notch.
Best for: Extra support and deeper penetration.
Pros
- Super cute design
- Soft velvet finish
- Compact (so great for travelling)
Cons
- Less discreet than other sex pillows
This cute love heart cushion is, like BangOn’s green rocker, covered with super soft, durable, velvet-style fabric, which helps make you ultra comfortable during play. This cover is also water resistant, so there’s no need to panic if a little, shall we say, fluid gets on it.
It doesn’t just look good, it’s practical too, alleviating pressure on your hips, knees, and back. Plus, as it’s so compact, you can even fit it into your suitcase, making it a great travel companion.
Best for: Deeper penetration, better angles, and prolonged thrusting.
Pros
- Comes with repair kit and pump
- Easy to inflate
- Affordable
- Waterproof (you can throw the whole thing in the machine)
Cons
- Not the most luxurious material
- Not as sturdy as other pillows
If you’re concerned about the cost of living crisis and sex pillows are low on your essentials list right now, this cost-effective cushion is worth a punt.
