The Ultimate Guide to Lovers' Sex Pillow Positions

Let's be real when it comes to certain positions, gravity is just not on our side. That's where sex pillows come in, offering better support, deeper penetration, and more angles for a more comfortable and pleasurable experience. If you're looking to increase intimacy, reduce body strain, or reach new positions with ease, the right sex position pillow can be the ultimate game-changer that you’ve been looking for!

If you haven't tried using one yet, buckle up and get ready to have your world (and hips) opened up! We're breaking down the best wedge-shaped pillow models, what they're for, and how to use them to their fullest orgasmic capacity…

What Is a Sex Pillow?

A sex pillow is exactly what it sounds like, except better than some run-of-the-mill pillow you borrow from the couch or your bed in the heat of the moment. Sex pillows are durable, ergonomic, and designed specifically for body support, which means no sinking into the bed or struggling with adjustments mid-play. Plus, they’re beginner-friendly, making them a great addition for anyone looking to enhance their experience without a steep learning curve. Whether you place it under your hips for deeper penetration, use it as a ramp for better angles, or even snag a bondage-ready pillow for a little spicy fun with restraints and toys, a sex pillow will take your pleasure (and stamina) to new levels!

And the best part? Most of them come with removable, machine-washable covers so cleanup is effortless—because the only thing you should be worrying about is when you can use it again. In short, it's the positioning upgrade your sex life didn't know it needed.

Why You’ll Love a Sex Pillow

If you’re looking for more comfort, better angles, and an all-around more satisfying sexual experience, a sex pillow will open so many new avenues of pleasure, both solo and partnered. Not only does it provide you with more depth and rhythm control, but it also alleviates muscle and joint strain so you can experience pure pleasure with less pain and less fuss!

Sex pillows aren’t just about convenience — they’re about making every sensual encounter a better, more fulfilling experience. The improved positioning means you can enjoy longer-lasting sessions in greater comfort, making it a must-have accessory for all body types and skill levels! Whether you’re incorporating one for extra support or exploring new, exciting positions, you’ll never look at a regular pillow the same way again… 😉

The Top 5 Sex Pillow Styles

Not all sex pillows are created equal, so let's break down which one is best suited for you:

1. The Classic Wedge Pillow

A wedge-shaped pillow is an ideal starting point, providing the perfect support for your hips during missionary, doggy, and oral. Designed to elevate and align your body effortlessly, it ensures better positioning while reducing strain, letting both partners focus on pleasure instead of constant readjustments. It’s a must-have for anyone looking to get started on enhancing comfort and stamina in the bedroom.

2. The Ramp Pillow

If you like standing sex or deep penetration, a ramp pillow gives you that little extra height and support. It also makes straddling positions feel so much easier (and so much less like a leg workout).

3. The Inflatable Pillow

Giving you freedom of movement in more ways than one, inflatable sex pillows offer the same benefit as a wedge but deflate and roll or fold up neatly so you can bring your adventures on the road with you, or store your pillow away without the bulk once the fun is done.

4. The Bondage-Ready Pillow

For those who like a little restraint with their pleasure, these pillows often come with built-in cuffs and straps, or at the very least, attachment points for your own cuffs and restraints, making them a perfect choice for light bondage and control play.

5. The Toy-Holding Pillow

Some pillows are designed with holsters for vibrators, letting you DIY a light sex machine experience and enjoy yourself hands-free.

5 Creative Ways to Use a Sex Pillow

In addition to simply placing it under the receiving partner’s back, there are more ways to use a sex pillow, so let’s get creative!

1. The Deep Impact

Put a wedge pillow underneath the hips for high-angle missionary. This tilts the pelvis up for deeper penetration and more intense G-spot or prostate stimulation.

2. The Oral Throne

A ramp pillow underneath the upper back and head brings your partner’s neck to just the right height for straddling or ‘facesitting’ oral sex without straining their neck—because no one should be in pain while pleasuring their partner.

3. The Reverse Ride

One of the best things about reverse cowgirl is the incredible view the penetrating partner gets to enjoy, but elbows and necks can get tired trying to prop them up to actually see the view. Try placing a sex pillow behind their back so they can sit up and feel supported as they watch the receiver’s buns bounce!

4. The Doggy Lift

A belly pillow in doggy style takes pressure off the lower back and knees and helps with deeper, smoother strokes in doggy-style. Even the penetrating partner can cushion their knees on it if the pillow is wide enough.

5. The Power Straddle

In the cowgirl position, you can use a firm sex pillow under the bottom, penetrating partner’s hips to add height and a more forward-leaning angle to help the top partner move back and forth or up and down with more power thanks to the extra gravity!
