A sex wedge is a firm foam pillow that lifts the hips or supports the body at an angle that bed pillows cannot hold. Red Pleasures stocks four pieces from Liberator: the full-size Wedge, the compact Jaz, the decor-friendly Heart Wedge and the Fascinator Throw Mini, a waterproof blanket. This guide compares them on size, height and care, so you can pick the right one for your bedroom.

1. Wedge Positioning Pillow in Black Velvet – Liberator ($170.23 CAD)
The Wedge is the shape most people picture when they hear "sex wedge". It is a block of high-density polyurethane foam cut to a 27-degree incline: 24 inches wide, 14 inches deep and 7 inches tall at the high edge. A velvet cover unzips for the washing machine, and a moisture-resistant liner sits between the cover and the foam.
Slide it under the hips for lift, flip it for a gentler slope, or lean on the long face as a backrest. Unlike stacked bed pillows, the firm foam keeps its angle under weight.
The trade-off is size. It is bulky to store in a small apartment, and reviewers report that the velvet picks up lint and pet hair.
Best for: a first sex wedge that covers the most positions.
2. Jaz Petite Support Bolster – High-Density Foam Positioning Pillow – Liberator ($170.23 CAD)
The Jaz is the smallest Liberator shape we stock: 14 by 18 inches, and 6 inches high. Instead of a steep ramp, this bolster gives a gentle, curved lift. The core is firm high-density foam, under a removable, machine-washable cover and a moisture-resistant liner.
Liberator names oral, rear-entry, reclined and edge-of-bed positions for it. Turn it lengthwise under the shoulders or chest, or slide it under the hips. Its footprint fits under most beds or in a carry-on bag.
The catch is value. It costs the same as the much larger Wedge, and 6 inches is a modest lift rather than a dramatic angle.
Best for: small bedrooms, shared homes and travel.
3. Heart Wedge Positioning Pillow in Rose Microvelvet – Liberator ($175.90 CAD)
The Heart Wedge is built for people who do not want a black foam block on display. It is heart-shaped, 18 inches across, 14 deep and 7 high, in a rose microvelvet cover made of 100% polyester. To a guest, it looks like a throw pillow.
Inside is furniture-grade high-density foam with a moisture-resistant liner. The cover unzips and goes in the washing machine.
It is the priciest of the four at $175.90 CAD, and its 14-inch depth offers fewer full-body angles than the 24-inch black shape. The liner protects the foam, not the cover, so fluids land on the fabric.
Best for: couples who want a positioning pillow that can stay out on the bed.
4. Waterproof Sex Throw in Aubergine Microvelvet, Mini – Liberator ($92.21 CAD)
The Fascinator Throw Mini is a blanket, not a foam shape. It measures 36 by 26 inches (91 × 66 cm), with an absorbent microvelvet face over a hidden moisture barrier. Fluids soak into the velvet and stop at the barrier, which keeps them off your mattress.
It folds into a drawer, machine-washes on cold and tumble-dries on low. The care instructions say to wash it once or twice before first use, which improves absorbency. Lay it over any of the foam shapes above to protect their covers too.
The Mini covers a hip-sized zone, not a whole bed. Anything that runs past its edge still reaches the sheets.
Best for: lube, massage oil and messy play, and the lowest-priced start.
Liberator Wedge vs Jaz vs Heart Wedge: sizes side by side
| Spec | Wedge | Jaz | Heart Wedge | Shop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Width × depth | 24 × 14 in | 18 × 14 in | 18 × 14 in | |
| Height | 7 in | 6 in | 7 in | |
| Shape | Straight 27° incline | Gentle curved lift | Heart-shaped incline | |
| Cover | Velvet, machine-washable | Removable, machine-washable | Polyester microvelvet, machine-washable | |
| Liner | Moisture-resistant | Moisture-resistant | Moisture-resistant | |
| Price (CAD) | $170.23 | $170.23 | $175.90 |
The Fascinator Throw Mini is not in this table because it is a blanket rather than a foam shape.
What does a sex wedge actually do?
A sex wedge holds your body at a fixed angle so you do not have to. Raising the hips a few inches changes the angle between partners, and the firm foam keeps that angle steady instead of flattening the way bed pillows do.
That steady support can make positions easier to hold. In a 2014 University of Waterloo study of women with low back pain, the researchers wrote that "adding a low-back support, such as a pillow, can also help keep the spine in a more neutral position." The same team found that spooning, often suggested for back pain, "can actually be one of the worst positions for certain types of back pain." You can read the University of Waterloo summary.
That study did not test wedges, and it is not medical advice for you. If you live with back pain, ask your doctor or physiotherapist which positions suit you.
Is Liberator worth it?
Yes, if you will use it often and want it to last. Liberator, based in Atlanta, Georgia, makes foam positioning shapes with removable covers, so you wash the cover rather than the foam. Our product records describe the foam as furniture-grade high-density polyurethane, the class of foam used in upholstered seating.
The case against is price. At $170.23 to $175.90 CAD, the foam shapes cost far more than a stack of pillows from your bed. Stacked pillows are fine for trying the idea, but they compress and slide, which is the problem firm foam solves.
We do not stock other wedge brands, so this guide compares Liberator's own designs. For larger setups, see our guide to door sex swings and bondage furniture.
How do you choose a sex wedge?
Start with your space and the lift you want. You can see all four pieces in our positioning pillows and wedges collection.
Height and angle: the Wedge and the Heart Wedge stand 7 inches tall. The Jaz is 6 inches, with a softer curve. Choose taller for more lift, or lower for a gentle start.
Width: at 24 inches, the Wedge gives the widest base. The Jaz and the Heart Wedge are 18 inches across.
Storage: the Jaz is the easiest to hide. The Heart Wedge is designed to stay out on the bed. The Wedge needs a closet corner or space under a bed.
Mess: none of the foam shapes is waterproof. Their liners resist moisture, but fluids that soak through can reach the foam. A waterproof throw on top solves that.
Budget: the Fascinator Throw Mini costs $92.21 CAD, and the foam shapes start at $170.23 CAD.
How do you use a sex wedge the first time?
Give the foam time to expand. These Liberator shapes ship vacuum-compressed, so unpack yours a few hours before you plan to use it.
Start with it under the hips, tall edge where you want lift, and adjust in small moves. Try it under the chest or behind your back too. Lay a towel or the Fascinator Throw over the cover the first few times.
Lift it to reposition it rather than dragging it, which scuffs the cover. Afterward, unzip the cover and wash it.
Are sex wedges body-safe and easy to clean?
Yes. A positioning pillow is an external support, so nothing goes inside the body. The part that touches skin is a removable fabric cover over a moisture-resistant liner and a polyurethane foam core.
Clean the cover, not the foam. Unzip it, machine-wash it as its care label says, and let it dry fully before you refit it. Wipe the liner with a damp cloth. Never machine-wash or soak the foam core, because wet foam stays damp for days and can grow mildew.
If you use toys on a positioning pillow, the toy's material matters more than the pillow's. Planned Parenthood says that for toys inserted into the body, "it's best to use one made of a body-safe, non-porous material." Its sex toy guide also advises washing toys "with mild soap and water after you use them."

FAQ
What is a sex wedge used for?
A sex wedge is a firm foam pillow that lifts the hips or supports the chest or back at a steady angle. It makes some positions easier to reach and hold, and it does not flatten under weight like a bed pillow.
Which Liberator pillow is best for beginners?
The Liberator Wedge is the most versatile first choice, with a 27-degree incline and a 24-inch-wide base. If you want a gentler start or have little space, the 6-inch Jaz is the smaller option.
What is the difference between the Liberator Wedge and the Jaz?
The Wedge is 24 inches wide and 7 inches tall, with a straight 27-degree incline. The Jaz is 18 inches wide and 6 inches tall, with a gentle curved lift. Both cost $170.23 CAD at our store.
Are Liberator pillows waterproof?
The foam shapes are not. Each has a moisture-resistant liner that protects the foam, but the fabric cover absorbs fluids. For waterproof protection, lay the Fascinator Throw Mini on top; its hidden moisture barrier keeps fluids off whatever sits directly under it.
Can you wash a sex wedge?
Wash the cover, not the foam. The covers unzip and go in the washing machine. Follow the care label, avoid high heat when drying, and wipe the liner with a damp cloth. Never machine-wash or soak the foam core.
Can a sex wedge help with back pain?
It may make some positions easier to hold, but it is not a medical device. University of Waterloo researchers wrote that a low-back support such as a pillow can help keep the spine in a more neutral position. Ask your doctor or physiotherapist which positions suit you.
How big is the Fascinator Throw Mini?
It measures 36 by 26 inches (91 × 66 cm), which covers a hip-sized area rather than a full bed. It folds small enough for a drawer or an overnight bag.
