Vibrators or cuffs might be the first things that come to mind when you picture “sex toys,” but the best sex pillows are the unsung heroes of kinky accessories. They can make different positions way more pleasurable (or possible), allow for deeper penetration, and take pressure off of your joints and muscles, Javay-Frye Nekrasova, MEd, a certified sex educator at Lovehoney, tells SELF.
“Everyone should try a sex pillow because it gives you more support than a regular pillow, and it won’t flatten out as you use it” like a regular pillow might, Nekrasova says. “They also allow for more creativity when trying new positions.” For instance, lying on a wedge-shaped pillow during oral sex can help raise your (or your partner’s) body for easier access.
When shopping for a sex pillow, you’ll want to think about whether the materials, shape, and size are the best fit for your needs. Take foam pillows: They provide lots of support but are known to be bulky. So if you live in a New York City shoebox with no closets, an inflatable pillow might make more sense. Meanwhile, curved or bolster-shaped pillows are popular for masturbation, while a wedge can support you during partnered sex.
We spoke with experts to learn the best ways to use a sex pillow by yourself or with a partner. Then we researched options from top brands to find the most comfortable models on the market.

What should you consider when shopping for a sex pillow?
Our experts recommend keeping these factors in mind as you search for the right balance of cushion and support.
Material
Most sex pillows are either made from foam or have an inflatable design. “Foam pillows are going to be sturdier, last longer, and hold their shape,” Nekrasova says. “They’re also generally better at having more weight put on them.”
Inflatables may get squishy under pressure, and ideally, your pillow should be firm enough to hold you up without being rock-hard, Nekrasova says. “[Blow-up pillows] also run the risk of being more likely to get damaged.” Still, it’s worth considering an inflatable if you can’t store a larger pillow or don’t want to spend the time pumping one up (especially in the heat of the moment).
Shape
Some sex pillows are shaped to provide support in certain areas or make specific positions easier. As you shop, consider how (or with whom) you plan to use your pillow to narrow your choices.
Wedges are popular because they can add more support to positions you do with a partner. For example, the receiving partner can place it under their hips when on their back in missionary or lean their forearms on it during doggy style. But other curved shapes are great for solo play, whether you’re into humping and grinding or you want a slot for using a wand vibrator or dildo. Because who says no to hands-free masturbation?
Cover
When it comes to the pillow’s cover, look for one that’s removable and water-resistant, for easy cleanup. You want a cover that feels good too: “Most people want that fabric to be smooth and soft, or some people like faux leather,” Rosara Torrisi, PhD, an AASECT-certified sex therapist and the founding director at the Long Island Institute of Sex Therapy, tells SELF.
How should you clean and care for a sex pillow?
Most sex pillows have removable, machine-washable covers that you can pop in the laundry, Jenn Gunsaullus, PhD, sex coach and author of From Madness to Mindfulness: Reinvesting Sex For Women, tells SELF. This is more hygienic if you’re using a pillow with multiple partners and comes in handy if someone squirts, she says.
How we picked the best sex pillows
We asked experts to recommend soft-yet-sturdy pillows in a range of shapes and sizes that can cater to different body types and sex positions. We also sifted through online reviews to see what customers had to say about how intuitive and comfortable each pillow is to use. Only ones that our experts and reviewers approved made it to our final list.

Best Wedge Pillow: Liberator Wedge Pillow
Pros
- Machine-washable cover
- Moisture-resistant liner
- Versatile design
Cons
- On the bulkier side
Liberator makes some of the most popular sex pillows on the market, and this bestseller comes highly recommended by psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist Megan Fleming, PhD. The classic wedge can make missionary much comfier, she says: Slipping it under your hips to tilt your pelvis up “provides a better depth of penetration, depending on the angle, and it could also give more clitoral stimulation.”
The wedge is also 24 inches across, so it provides a wide, sturdy base, Nekrasova says. The moisture-resistant liner protects the foam inside, and you can pop the microfiber cover in the laundry for easy cleanup.
Product specs
Dimensions: 24 x 14 x 7 inches | Material: Microfiber, foam
Best Value: Liberator Sex Position Wedge Ramp Combo
Pros
- Can be used together or separately
- Machine-washable cover
- Moisture-resistant liner
Cons
- On the larger side
Two wedges are better than one—this combo from Liberator proves it. It includes a larger version of the above pillow (our best overall pick), plus a second, slightly smaller version.
“The combination of these wedges is ideal if you’re looking to expand your options for sexual positions, techniques, and approaches,” Jessica O’Reilly, PhD, a sex educator, host of the Sex With Dr. Jess podcast, and co-author of The Ultimate Guide to Seduction and Foreplay, tells SELF. “It has you covered, whether you want to play with deeper penetration or experiment with marathon sex sessions.” She adds that “clean-up is also a breeze, as the cover is removable and washable.” A true win-win.

Best Splurge: Liberator Scoop Rocker Position Ramp
Pros
- Four detachable cuffs included
- Machine-washable cover
- Versatile, rounded shape
Cons
- Large, so may be harder to store
If you’ve got some room in your budget, we think Liberator’s Scoop Rocker is well worth the extra investment. Most options on this list are meant to stay in one place, but this one’s curved shape allows it to rock and roll with you and your partner. “You can also rub, grind, ride, and play on it,” says Dr. O’Reilly. “This versatility gives you access to an unlimited number of positions, so you can adjust angles as needed.”
You can always flip it over when you want a more stable surface—although it’s worth noting that you won’t be able to use the four included cuffs that way.
Product specs
Dimensions: 40 x 24 x 11.5 inches | Material: Polyurethane
Most Versatile: Liberator Flip Ramp Sex Positioning Pillow
Pros
- Discreet
- Removable, machine-washable cover
- Moisture-resistant liner
Cons
- Not ideal for small spaces, as it’s almost the size of an ottoman
When it’s unfolded, this pillow acts as a ramp you can lie on during oral sex for easier eye contact and touch with your partner. Folded, the cubelike cushion comes in handy when you need more height and motion in standing positions. The moisture-resistant liner is a nice touch to make sure your pillow stays in good shape even if (when?) it gets wet.
Product specs
Dimensions: 18 x 18 x 15 inches | Material: Foam, nylon
Most Discreet: Liberator Heart Wedge Sex Pillow
Pros
- Travel-friendly size
- Machine-washable cover
Cons
- May be too small for some
The Heart Wedge might look unassuming on your couch or bed—but don’t be fooled. “Like other wedge pillows, it can help you add penetration depth or achieve good angles for G-spot stimulation,” says Carol Queen, PhD, a sociologist, a sex educator with Good Vibes and co-author of The Sex & Pleasure Book: Good Vibrations Guide to Great Sex for Everyone. She also notes that its smaller size is great for bringing with you on the go, although it won’t be supportive enough for everyone.

Dimensions: 18 x 14 x 7 inches | Material: Foam, polyester, micro-velvet
Best Sex Toy Mount: Liberator Pulse Toy Mount
Pros
- Removable cover for easy cleanup
- Two pockets for vibrators
- Great for masturbation
Cons
- On the bulkier side
- Toys not included
A curvy, contoured pillow can rock with every hip thrust to make your masturbation routine even hotter. This one from Liberator has two pockets to accommodate your favorite toy—a small slot you can tuck a bullet vibrator into and a larger opening that can fit a wand vibe or dildo.
You can also flip the pillow over so the rounded edge is face-up and hold it to stabilize yourself during partnered sex.
Product specs
Dimensions: 20 x 12 x 13 inches | Material: Microvelvet
Best for Grinding: Liberator Humphrey Toy Mount Sex Pillow
Pros
- Flat, discreet shape
- Multiple slots and pockets for sex toys
- Machine-washable cover
Cons
- Not angled like other options
- Sex toys not included
“If you’re more advanced and like to use toys on your own or with a partner, this is the perfect option,” Dr. O’Reilly says. “It’s designed for use with a range of toys, including vibrators, dildos, and wands, and it’s durable, so it can support your body as well as two bodies at play.” Its classic, rectangular shape conceals two side slots and a double pocket—perfect places to secure pieces from your nightstand collection.
Product specs
Dimensions: 34 x 20 x 3 inches | Material: Foam
Best Sex Pillow Case: Sportsheets Pivot Waterproof Pillow Protector
Pros
- Machine-washable
- Budget-friendly
- Secure hook-and-loop closure protects your pillow
Cons
- Only comes in black
This pick is for those who want to explore the perks of adding a sex pillow to their pleasure practice, but who don’t have storage space for a separate bolster or wedge.“It can turn any regular pillow into a sex pillow, protecting it from fluids so you can use it however you want,” Dr. Queen says. The best part is that, when you’re finished using it, you can toss the case into the wash, then fold it and stash it away until next time.

Dimensions: 20 x 26 inches | Material: Nylon, polyester, TPU

Liberator Wing Sex Toy Mount
Pros
- Two pockets for sex toys
- Machine-washable cover
Cons
- On the bulkier side
- Some reviewers note the holes are too big for small vibes
This dense foam bolster from Liberator is another great pick for masturbation. It has two sewn-in slits—one on the top and one on the side—where you can add your dildo or vibrator for a hands-free solo sesh.
Compared to the Pulse, the Wing’s flatter shape is better for grinding. Dr. Queen adds that the design is popular for folks who want to “put on a show” for their partner and also allows people with vulvas to hit their G-spot with a toy.
Product specs
Dimensions: 24 x 15 x 9 inches | Material: Microvelvet
Keon Multifunctional Pillow and Strap
Pros
- Designed to hold an automatic masturbator for hands-free play
- Pillow can also be used alone
- Firm enough for partnered play
Cons
- Assembly required
- Keon stroker not included
While most sex toy mounts are meant to hold dildos and wand vibrators, this pick is designed to work with the Keon, a motorized penis stroker. Simply strap in the masturbator, find your angle, and enjoy a hands-free sesh. Without the attachment, “it can also be used as a standalone positioning assist, like almost any sex pillow,” says Dr. Queen. When adding this pick for penis owners to your shopping cart, just keep in mind that the stroker and its various inserts are all sold separately, she notes.
Product specs
Dimensions: 15.24 x 6.25 x 5.25 inches | Material: Foam, cotton
Pivot Convertible Toy Mount
Pros
- Can be used as a toy mount or standalone pillow
- Great for solo or partnered play
- Machine-washable cover and water-resistant liner
Cons
- Sex toys not included
- Might be tricky to set up
If you don’t want to settle, get a sex pillow that’s just as easy to use with toys as it is without. “Its ingenious design lets you position a toy between the two foam halves and then use the hook-and-loop closures to keep it in position during play,” Dr. Queen says. "Then you can mount it or approach the toy in whichever way suits you best."
She adds that the two halves can also be used separately from each other to lift your (or your partner’s) hips or make other positions more comfortable.

Dimensions: 17.25 x 6.25 x 6.25 inches | Material: Foam
Dame Pillo
Pros
- Small, discreet shape
- Water-resistant liner
- Machine-washable cover
Cons
- May be too small for some
- Some shoppers say the fabric is prone to tearing
Sometimes, size does matter. The Dame Pillo is only 15 inches in length, compared to the Liberator Wedge, which is 24, making it easy to tuck away when it’s not in use. “The Pillo’s design is also discreet enough that no one would ever know [it’s not a lumbar pillow] I use for back pain,” one former SELF editor says.
It has both a removable cover and a water-resistant nylon inner liner—a real plus if you squirt, she adds.

Lovehoney Ultimate Sex Position Enhancer Set

Pros
- Non-slip, machine-washable cover
- Effectively supports multiple bodies
Cons
- Difficult to store
- Pricey
This model from Lovehoney consists of two wedge-shaped supports that can be arranged into a few different positions: Move the two ramps into a V shape so that you and your partner can each have back support while facing each other. Or you can also stack one on top of the other for some extra height; they’re covered in a velvet, nonslip material that keeps them from sliding.
Multiple Lovehoney shoppers say this set has been a game-changer for navigating a height difference during sex: “It’s proven to be a great addition to our sex life,” one wrote, while another added, “we can also sustain positions for much longer, which makes things more fun.” Noted.

Dimensions: 24.01 x 34.01 x 12 inches and 24.01 x 14.01 x 7 inches | Material: Foam
ForPro Professional Collection Full Round Bolster Pillow
Pros
- Oil- and stain-resistant cover
- Loop on one end makes it easier to carry
Cons
- Cover isn’t removable (but can be spot-cleaned)
A long, cylindrical bolster like this one is helpful for extra support while lying down—“perhaps on your side with one leg bent, knee up toward the chest,” Dr. Torrisi says. Or place it under your hips for some lift, and it’ll roll as you move with a partner.
“These pillows can also be used for grinding on,” Dr. Torrisi notes, giving you even more options for getting off. The cover isn’t removable, but it is oil- and stain-resistant, so you can give it a quick spot-clean if you get a little heavy-handed with lube. And since it looks like a rolled-up yoga mat, you don’t have to worry about finding a hiding spot for this pick when it’s not in use.
Product specs
Dimensions: 24.01 x 34.01 x 12 inches and 24.01 x 14.01 x 7 inches | Material: Foam
Whipsmart Try-Angle Perfect Position Cushion
Pros
- Machine-washable cover
- Comes with bondage accessories
Cons
- Not as easy to store
- Cuffs may not fit all wrists and ankles
The velvet cover on this wedge feels soft against skin and stops the pillow from sliding around even when you’re hitting a groove. It comes with wrist constraints that can clip onto loops on each side of the pillow in seconds, so you and your partner can take turns tying each other up.
“I was hesitant to spend this much on a cushion because I’d just stack bed pillows before, but after finally pulling the trigger, it was well worth the investment,” one shopper wrote.

Dimensions: 32 x 22 x 10.5 inches | Material: Polyester, foam
