Sure, sex is nice. But have you ever gotten it on while 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. These pillows are firm, holding their shape through multiple uses, which is another important asset, as Good Vibrations staff expert Carol Queen, PhD, tells Glamour. (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.)

Most Supportive: The Liberator Wedge and Ramp Combo
You get the most bang for your buck with this sex pillow, literally. Since it's a two-piece set, you can use the wedge-ramp combo alone, or together for extra support, whether it's to take some pressure off your joints, alleviate back pain, or maybe make a more tricky position easier to achieve. “[These] are extremely good for those with mobility issues or wheelchair-bound,” Taylor Sparks, erotic educator and founder of Organic Loven, tells Glamour. “I have clients who do not have the use of the lower half of their bodies, preventing them from ‘pushing back’ against their lovers during sex or the ability to hold their hips up to receive. The use of the Liberator Sex Pillows gives them the angles and comfort to be able to enjoy deep penetrative sex or oral sex in a manner that is comfortable for them.” It's moisture-resistant (so don't worry if you sweat a lot), and it has a machine-washable cover.
What we like: While the big selling point here is that it’s two pieces, another aspect we love is how it feels. “Its fabric is so high-quality and the right amount of luxury so I feel like royalty when I use them,” says Chatel. “But with the positions it allows me to get into, it also makes me feel a bit freaky.”

Best Multipurpose Pillow: Dame Pillo
Dame's sex cushion, the Pillo, is so cute and Instagram-friendly, you might never guess that its main purpose is to hoist your body into more comfortable positions. It's recommended by just about every expert we talked to, and there's a reason the Pillo is so popular: Its shape and cushy memory-foam-like material make it useful for a wide variety of sex positions. “I routinely recommend the Dame Pillo to my patients as it is the right combination of soft and firm and the angle is supportive when they are getting creative in bed,” Jeffcoat tells Glamour. “The softer angles make it comfortable for modifying positions on your back, front, and side. As a bonus, it can blend nicely into other pillows in your decor.” Additionally, its washable cover is washer- and dryer-friendly, so you can always use it as a regular pillow, and it's especially great for leg and back support while you're just hanging out or sleeping.
What we like: “Personally, I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t love the Pillo, because it really is one of the best sex pillows you can buy,” says Chatel. With its fantastic price point and hundreds of five-star reviews, it’s simply a perfect product.

Best Inflatable Pillow: Adam & Eve Inflatable Sex Pillow
If you're looking for a simple, no-fuss pillow you can easily travel with, get yourself an inflatable position pillow. What people love most about this one (aside from the price) is that if you're trying doggy-style or anal sex, the inflatable wedge helps lift and position you at the perfect angle. “If you have a back-facing vulva or you are a person who enjoys anal penetration, this pillow is great to get those holes in the air!” Marla Renee Stewart, M.A., sexpert at sexual wellness brand & retailer Lovers, tells Glamour. “Not only is it comfortable, but it's cost-effective and it can deflate so that you can put it away in a discreet place. It even comes with handles if you need them.”
What we like: It’s inflatable! You never have to leave home without your sex pillow again! Just as the sex gods intended!

Best Pillow for Mounting & Self-Pleasure: The Liberator Pulse
The Liberator Pulse is uniquely designed to help people balance better as they mount their partner (you can also flip it over and use it to elevate your hips to settle into another position, or receive oral sex). “If you need practice with being on top while being penetrated, this is the perfect pillow to make that happen,” Stewart says. “The round shape allows you to find your rhythm during penetration to see how your body naturally moves or practice the ways that you want to move during your sexual experience.” It's also a great pillow for solo sex. Its ergonomic design is meant to contour and move with your body as you straddle it. Bonus: It has a pocket that's meant to hold a vibrator or dildo, so you can add extra intensity and stimulation when you masturbate. When you're done, toss it in the laundry (it's machine-washer-safe).
What we like: It doesn’t matter if you have a vulva or penis, mounting a partner can be tricky. “If I got a dollar for every time I accidentally took a header in my 20s when I was on top, I’d be a rich woman,” says Chatel. That’s why we like this foam pillow so much: you can straddle it comfortably without fearing a concussion is right around the corner. It also gets extra points for being masturbation-friendly.

Best Pillow for Doggy-Style: Liberator Flip Ramp
While this pillow is designed for versatility, it's especially perfect for having sex with a taller partner or having doggy-style sex (which can be uncomfortable for some without support). You may already be using a throw pillow to prop yourself up to avoid feeling like you're about to do some push-ups while getting penetrated; this cushion is firmer and actually created to support the weight and the movement thanks to the high-density foam it's made with. “This is the perfect pillow for doing it doggy style comfortably,” Stewart says. “You can open the ramp for maximum comfort or you can close it for two purposes: (1) if you have a taller lover and (2) as a place to sit! Either way, you can get plenty of use from it.” The microfiber cover is velvety soft and durable, so you can throw it in the washer.
What we like: As much as doggy style feels amazing—hello, super intense G-spot stimulation—being on your hands and knees for too long can get uncomfortable. Then it’s no longer about enjoying penetration, but shifting your body’s weight to avoid aches and pains. However, we don’t have to worry about that with this pillow. It also, as Queen points out, turns into a really fabulous-looking cube. So, you can go from doggy to propping your feet up on your new fav ottoman.

Most Discreet Pillow: The Liberator Heart Wedge Pillow
It's so adorable! If you live with roommates (or if your roommates are your children) and you'd like to keep your sex life on the extra down low, the Liberator Heart Wedge Pillow is a great option. This sex wedge is versatile, but it really shines when you use it for poses like missionary, reverse cowgirl, or doggy-style, thanks to its 27-degree angle. Dainis Graveris, certified sex educator and relationship expert at SexualAlpha, tells Glamour that this cushion “is an excellent first-time purchase for couples who want to spice up their sex lives using sex furniture pieces. Its heart shape is discreet, which makes for a perfect romantic gift.” The cover is easy to remove and wash.
What we like: It’s just a little bundle of heart-filled joy! Because of its design, it’s great for beginners who might feel nervous about owning a sex pillow. “It also doubles as a pillow for my laptop when I want to work in bed,” says Chatel. “Not that anyone asked, but it’s true. It's the best size for it.”

The Best Pillow for Modifying Positions: Sex Position Master
Although amazing sex doesn’t have to include a whole series of positions, if you have the stamina for it and the right pillow, why not do all the things? The gentle curves and design provide all the extra support that your head, back, and knees might need during missionary, just as much as it lets you comfortably slump over it during doggy style or anal sex. It’s also the right height for prolonged oral without getting a kink in your neck.
What we like: It’s just wide enough to comfortably pull off everyone’s favorite lazy sex position: spooning. It’s also inflatable, making storage and traveling easy-peasy.

Best Half-Moon Pillow: Liberator BonBon Toy Mount
Half-moon pillows are the one thing that can take doggy-style or anal sex and make it even better. Thanks to its shape, it supports the stomach of the receiver, while angling their hips more comfortably during penetration. With BonBon, you don’t have to worry about you and your partner applying too much weight against it, because its responsive core easily supports two bodies in any position. It also includes a slot for a dildo or vibrator. Did I hear someone say DP?
What we like: “It feels really sturdy and firm,” says Chatel. “I’d definitely trust it far more than some pillows during rough sex.” Also, being able to add a toy to the mix is extra cool with us.

Best Travel Pillow: Lovehoney Move Sex Position Enhancer
If you want to be able to travel with your sex pillow, but you prefer foam to air, this teardrop-shaped wedge pillow is the one you want in your arsenal.

Perfectly designed to rock with your body (if you’re solo) or with you and your partner, this pillow doesn’t just feel good, but looks good too—check out that lovely muted gray color! Its cover can easily be removed for cleaning and at only 18 inches by 6 inches, you can easily pop this pillow in most travel bags.

Most Ergonomic: Deluxe Comfort Lovers Cushion
This pillow is shaped almost like a saddle, letting your butt and legs fit right into place as you slide onto it. The soft material provides comfort for your hips and tailbone and also allows for deeper penetration. The product's website even claims that the angle of the pillow is geared toward facilitating conception, if that's what you're going for.
What we like: In a world where fertility rates are declining, we always like any product that might help facilitate conception for those who are looking to get on the baby-making train. Even if you’re not, it’s still a good option for those who want to enjoy deep penetration, without feeling like their lower back and tailbone are being jack-hammered.

Kinkiest Pillow: KBYHZ Wedge Pillow with Cuffs
If you’re someone who knows how amazing it feels to be restrained or to restrain your BDSM-minded partner, then this is the pillow for you. Not only does the wedge pillow offer many options for sexual positions, but the two removable cuffs lock your wrists or ankles (maybe one of each if you’re flexi?) in place for hours of fun. If you want to take your interest in BDSM a little further, then adding a pair of the best nipple stimulators will complete the evening.
What we like: The cuffs! Being able to straddle your partner on this pillow with your ankles in the cuffs is intoxicating to say the least.

Best for Using With Sex Toys: Liberator Humphrey Toy Mount Sex Pillow
This soft pillow was made for hands-free play. Its thick cushion can support two bodies, so couples can get creative while they explore each other. On the other hand, it has a premade toy holder to support dildos, vibrators, or wands. There's also a pocket in the pillowcase to slip in a bullet vibrator or clitoral stimulator. The options are truly endless here.
What we like: While not everyone first got off by humping their bed pillow, for those who did, this is a wonderful reminder of those long, lost days—or maybe it was just this morning that you indulged in such fun? Choose your best sex toy, your most favorite lube, and go to town on yourself à la Bella Baxter.

Best for Full-Body Support: Contour BackMax Foam Bed Wedge Pillow Support System
Need full-body support? This pillow works for all of your sexual activities, including the trickiest moves. Use it for kneeling during doggy-style, lower-back support during missionary, and everything in between. And it's versatile too. You can use it as one long pillow or detach the components into individual wedges.
What we like: As much as the release of oxytocin during sex is a natural pain reliever, at some point in life you simply can’t avoid aches, either from injuries or age. The contours of this sex pillow make every position you try go absolutely swimmingly—you might not even need ibuprofen the next day.

Best for G-Spot Stimulation: Emphy Inflatable Magic Sex Pillow
This sloping, wedge-shaped pillow helps you angle your hips in the ideal position for hitting your G-spot during sex or masturbation so you can climax faster and easier with a toy or partner. It can support up to 550 pounds.
What we like: Its ability to support up to 550 pounds sounds like a party to me. Combined with perfectly-angled hips for G-spot stimulation? I guess it’s safe to say they don’t call it a “magic sex pillow” for nothing.

Best for Wand Toys: Liberator Wanda Magic Wand Mount
In news that’s very likely to blow your mind, Liberator created pretty much one of the greatest sex pillows ever made: the Wanda Magic Wand Mount. Like, what?! Is this real life or am I dreaming? While there are plenty of sex pillows that hold toys for mounting, what’s so special about Wanda is that it was developed with the Magic Wand in mind. Wand vibrators are notoriously heavy—they have to be in order to pack such a punch—so being able to assemble a pillow that’s sturdy enough for solo humping or partnered play was probably no small task.
What we like: As much as the wand vibrator factor is pure genius, the design of the pillow is ideal for doggy style. While your clit is being stimulated to high-heaven, your G-spot is also getting a run for its money at the same time. If you’ve yet to experience a blended orgasm, this might be the pillow that gets you there.
