Positional Sex Cushions

Positional sex cushions are wedge-shaped or contoured supports that elevate and angle the body during sex. They prop the pelvis, back, or knees to change penetration depth and angle, reduce strain on joints, and allow deeper or more comfortable positioning. People use them to reach different internal spots, reduce physical effort, accommodate flexibility limitations, or simply try new angles without holding their own weight.

Why Choose Positional Sex Cushions

1. Reduces Physical Strain: Elevated positioning removes the need to support body weight during sex. Knees, hips, and lower back experience less strain, making longer sessions comfortable and reducing post-sex soreness or fatigue.
2. Changes Penetration Angle: Angling the pelvis upward or sideways alters the direction and depth of penetration. This reaches different internal structures—the G-spot, A-spot, or prostate—creating new sensations without changing position completely.
3. Accommodates Physical Limitations: People with back pain, knee issues, arthritis, or mobility restrictions can have comfortable sex without aggravating injuries. Cushions allow positioning that feels good physically rather than forcing the body into uncomfortable angles.

Types of Positional Sex Cushions

Wedges

Triangular cushions that elevate the hips, pelvis, or torso. The receiving partner lies back on the wedge while the penetrating partner kneels or stands. Wedges angle penetration upward toward the front wall of the vagina or toward the prostate. They're the most common style and work well for missionary and variations.

Ramps

Longer, lower-angled cushions that support the full body or just the torso and legs. Ramps provide gentler elevation than steep wedges, suitable for people wanting slight angle changes without dramatic height. They work for positions where one partner lies flat while the other enters from above or the side.

Bolsters

Cylindrical or rounded cushions placed under specific body parts—knees, lower back, or neck. Bolsters support smaller areas than wedges, offering targeted elevation. They're useful for keeping knees apart, preventing them from closing during penetration, or supporting the lower back during positions where partners are face-to-face.

Positioning Pillows with Multiple Angles

Cushions designed with two or more angles or sections, allowing different positioning options from one product. Some flip to provide steep or shallow wedges; others have curved or contoured surfaces. These multi-use cushions suit couples wanting variety without buying multiple pieces.

Inflatable Positioning Cushions

Air-filled cushions that adjust firmness and height by adding or removing air. Inflatable options are lightweight, portable, and take up minimal storage space. They're ideal for travel or couples with limited bedroom space, though they require inflation before use.

Who Buys Positional Sex Cushions

People with joint or back pain: Sex can aggravate knees, hips, or lower backs when partners bear their own weight or strain to maintain position. A cushion removes that pressure. Missionary becomes comfortable again instead of something to avoid. People with arthritis or old injuries find positioning cushions make sex accessible when it otherwise wouldn't be.

Couples exploring new sensations: Changing the angle of penetration reaches different sensitive areas. Partners curious about G-spot stimulation or wanting to experience deeper or shallower penetration use cushions to adjust angle and depth without contorting into uncomfortable positions. The same cushion enables multiple position variations.

Choosing Positional Sex Cushions

• Firmness: Firm cushions provide stable support without compressing under body weight. Soft cushions feel more comfortable but may flatten over time. High-density foam maintains shape better than low-density foam. Test firmness if possible—it should support without feeling like you're sinking into it.
• Cover Material: Velvet and microsuede covers feel pleasant against skin and won't stick to sweat. Waterproof or moisture-resistant covers are easier to clean if fluids spill. Removable covers that wash separately prevent stains from setting. Check if the cover zips off or is sewn on.
• Non-Slip Base: A textured or rubberised bottom prevents the cushion sliding across sheets or smooth floors during use. This matters more during active positions. Check product descriptions for non-slip bottom specifications.
• Size and Portability: Larger wedges (60cm wide) suit couples of different sizes and support more body weight. Smaller cushions (45cm) fit bedside storage but may feel cramped. Consider whether you'll store it in the bedroom or travel with it—inflatable options compress flat, foam cushions take permanent space.
• Height and Angle: Steeper wedges (25-30cm high) create dramatic angle changes; gentler ramps (10-15cm) provide subtle support. Think about what positions you want to try. Missionary at a steep angle differs greatly from a subtle lift. Some couples prefer adjustable options.

Looking After Your Positional Sex Cushion

Spot-clean covers with mild soap and water, or hand-wash removable covers separately if they're machine-washable—check product care instructions. Pat dry rather than wringing. For non-removable covers, wipe with a damp cloth and air dry completely before use to prevent mildew. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade fabric over time. Non-slip bases should remain dry; clean the underside occasionally to prevent dust buildup. Inflatable cushions should be stored deflated to preserve the material's elasticity.

Goes Well With

Vibrators

A positional cushion angles your body while a vibrator provides clitoral or penile stimulation. The cushion handles positioning and depth; the vibrator adds sensation. This combination is especially useful for partners who need vibration to orgasm—the cushion frees your hands to hold the vibrator in place.
