15 Best Sex Pillows & Wedges to Take Your Orgasms to the Next Level
Sure, sex is nice. But have you ever gotten it on using sex pillows? As in, a pillow ergonomically designed for either intercourse or solo play, making tricky or awkward angles and new sex positions much more smooth sailing (and comfortable). If you’ve taken yoga classes, you’ve probably experienced something similar: In order to achieve certain poses, the instructor may give you tools, like blocks or blankets. That’s what sex pillows aim to do: make sex more accessible, pleasurable, and fun.
And it turns out that finding the right sex position or angle for masturbation is a common issue. Sex toy company Dame surveyed 1,600 of its Dame Labs community members, asking which nonvibrating product “would most improve [their] sex life.” Per Dame, “81% responded they wished they could find a better angle when with their partner and/or that they regularly used a spare pillow or cushion to achieve one.”
Sex position pillows can be a great addition to the bedroom (or wherever, you do you) especially if, according to Heather Jeffcoat, DPT, pelvic health physician therapist and author of Sex Without Pain: A Self-Treatment Guide to the Sex Life You Deserve, you have mobility issues. “Pillows are great for modifying positions if you have neck, back, hip, or knee issues,” Jeffcoat tells Glamour. Unlike your typical bed pillow, sex pillows help take some of that pressure off our bodies so sex can be enjoyable, not painful. (Some even serve as a mount for vibrating dildos, wand vibrators, and sex toys for couples so you can have a hands-free experience too.)
Basically, it can’t hurt to introduce a sex pillow into your love life. In fact, it’ll probably do the opposite and help you reach all kinds of orgasmic new levels, which is why we rounded up the ones worth trying—all of which have been vetted and cosigned by experts, reviewers, and Glamour's own sexual wellness writers.
