10 Best Sex Pillows to Help You Hit All the Right Angles

Best Toy Mount: 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.

• Pros: Removable cover for easy cleanup; pockets for vibrators; great for masturbation
• Cons: On the bulkier side; not discreet

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.

• Pros: Small; water-resistant inner liner; machine-washable outer cover
• Cons: Some shoppers say the fabric is prone to tearing

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,” Rosara Torrisi, PhD, an AASECT-certified sex therapist and the founding director at the Long Island Institute of Sex Therapy, tells SELF. 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.

• Pros: Versatile design; oil- and stain-resistant cover; loop on one end makes it easier to carry
• Cons: Cover isn’t removable (but can be spot-cleaned)

Bending over this inflatable pillow will lift your hips and butt up so you or your partner can hit all the right spots during doggy style or while going down on you. You can also pop your wand vibe into the center hole and straddle it, or put the pillow between your knees to keep your legs open in a spooning position. Another bonus? It comes with an electric pump, so you can skip the boring setup process.

• Pros: Easy to store; includes a pump for easy setup; waterproof exterior
• Cons: Some reviewers say it’s too tall

This dense foam bolster is another great pick for masturbation because it has two sewn-in slits where you can add your dildo or vibrator for a hands-free solo sesh. According to Carol Queen, PhD, staff expert at Good Vibes, the design is popular for folks who want to “put on a show” for a partner and also allows people with vulvas to hit their G-spot with a toy.

• 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

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.

• Pros: Removable, machine-washable cover; includes bondage accessories
• Cons: Not as easy to store

Most sex pillows are one piece, but 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.

• Pros: Versatile; removable and machine-washable cover
• Cons: Difficult to store; pricey

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 cube-like 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.

• Pros: Discreet, removable machine-washable cover, moisture-resistant inner liner
• Cons: Not ideal for small spaces as it’s almost the size of an ottoman
