Who this is for

If you only ever buy one piece of sex furniture, this is the one. The Wedge suits couples who already know which positions they like and want to hold them without a stack of collapsing bed pillows. It works for solo use too. If you want something small and packable, look at a bolster instead.

Body-Safe Verified

Body-safe by design — not by claim.

The Wedge is a foam-and-fabric positioning aid, not an insertable or electronic product. The core is furniture-grade high-density polyurethane foam. The outer cover is a machine-washable velvet-finish microfiber, and a moisture-resistant inner liner sits between the cover and the foam. This product is for adults 18+. It supports and angles the body; it is not a therapeutic or medical device, and Red Pleasures makes no health claims for it.

Common questions

Real questions, answered by the team that tested it.

General
What size is this Wedge, exactly?
24 inches wide, 14 inches deep, and 7 inches tall at the high edge — a 27-degree incline. That is Liberator's Original Wedge. Liberator also makes a 30-inch-wide version (X-Wide / Plus Size), which this is not; both are the same 7 inches tall.
Usage
Does the cover come off and wash?
Yes. The velvet cover unzips completely and machine-washes in cold water. The water-resistant inner liner underneath wipes down with a damp cloth or sponge. Liberator also sells replacement Wedge covers separately, from US$50, so a stained or worn cover doesn't mean a new pillow.
Usage
What happens if fluids get through the cover?
There is a moisture-resistant liner sitting between the cover and the foam, which is what it's for. Wash the cover, wipe the liner, and let the liner dry fully before you put the cover back on. Never wash or submerge the foam core itself — polyurethane foam holds water for days.
Body-Safe
How firm is it, really?
Firmer than any bed pillow, deliberately. The core is furniture-grade high-density polyurethane foam. One reviewer put it plainly: "I tried to squish it and compress it with just my hands to no avail." Expect support with very little give — that's the point, and it's also the thing some people don't expect.
Body-Safe
Will it hold a heavier person?
Liberator publishes no weight rating, so we won't invent one. Reviewers at larger body sizes report the foam holding position rather than bottoming out, and the main thing they raise is surface area rather than support — Liberator's 30-inch-wide version exists for people who want more room on the sides.
General
Will guests know what it is?
It's a plain black velvet wedge, in a cover line styled to sit in a bedroom as furniture. Under a throw or in a pillowcase it reads as a decor cushion. It is, however, 24 inches wide and 7 inches tall, so it doesn't disappear into a closet either.
General
Is it worth it versus just stacking pillows?
On firmness and shape retention, yes — pillows compress and slide, and this doesn't. On money, it depends. At CAD 170 this costs many times a pillow stack, and independent reviewers name the price as its single biggest drawback: "The Liberator wedges are not cheap," and "the Liberator Wedge is not cheap... it's a sizeable investment." If budget is the deciding factor, that objection is fair.
General
Will it fit our bed, and can we travel with it?
The 24 × 14 inch footprint sits comfortably on a double or larger. Travel is a different question: this is a solid block of foam that doesn't fold or compress. One reviewer calls it "quite bulky" and says the size means it's not very portable, while another reports it fitting in a suitcase. Plan on it living at home — if you want something packable, the Jaz is the smaller shape.

How to use, clean, and store

The first-5-minutes card in your box has the short version. This is the extended guide.

  1. 1. Unpack the Wedge and let the vacuum-compressed foam expand fully before first use.
  2. 2. Check the cover is zipped closed and the liner sits smooth underneath.
  3. 3. Place the Wedge on the mattress with the tall edge where you want lift.
  4. 4. Slide hips onto the incline; the 27-degree slope raises them and changes the angle of entry.
  5. 5. Flip it to use the short edge for a gentler lift, or the long face as a backrest.
  6. 6. Reposition by lifting rather than dragging — dragging scuffs the cover on rough sheets.
  7. 7. Afterward, wipe the cover down and let it air before storing.
Important: Lube, sweat and fluids will reach the velvet cover. Unzip and wash the cover rather than sponging the whole pillow, and never put the foam core in a washing machine or dryer — soaked polyurethane foam holds water for days and will mildew from the inside.
  1. 1. Unzip and remove the velvet cover.
  2. 2. Machine-wash the cover in cold water.
  3. 3. Air-dry the cover. Do not use high heat — it can shrink the cover and crush the pile.
  4. 4. Wipe the water-resistant inner liner with a damp cloth or sponge.
  5. 5. Never machine-wash, submerge or wring the foam core.
  6. 6. Refit the cover only once the liner is completely dry.
  1. 1. Store the Wedge flat or upright against a wall, not squashed under heavy objects.
  2. 2. Keep it dry; foam that stays damp will smell.
  3. 3. Slip it into a pillowcase or under a throw if you want it to read as ordinary decor.
  4. 4. Do not try to re-compress it into the original shipping bag — it will not go back.
  5. 5. Keep it out of direct sunlight; sun fades the velvet pile.
  1. Let the foam expand fully before first use — it ships vacuum-compressed
  2. Start with the tall edge under your hips; adjust in small moves
  3. Try it as a backrest or under the chest too — both faces work
  4. Put a towel over the cover the first few times while you learn it
  5. It is firmer than a pillow on purpose. Give it two or three sessions.

The Wedge Positioning Pillow in Black Velvet – Liberator story

Why we made it this way.

Liberator did not invent foam. It invented the idea that a piece of foam in your bedroom could be furniture rather than a secret — and the Wedge is where that started. Liberator's own product page calls it "the original sex wedge pillow" and says it helped pioneer the modern sex pillow category. Every heart-shaped, waterproof, travel-sized thing in this collection is downstream of a 24-inch black wedge.

The original sex wedge pillow — a 27-degree high-density foam incline, 24 inches wide.

The object itself is almost aggressively simple. A block of furniture-grade high-density polyurethane foam, cut to a 27-degree incline: 24 inches wide, 14 deep, 7 tall at the high edge. A velvet-finish microfiber cover that unzips and goes in a cold wash. A moisture-resistant liner between the two, doing the quiet work of keeping the foam out of the laundry. That is the entire product. There is no motor, no app, no charging cable, no firmware.

What you are paying for is the foam's refusal to move. A stack of bed pillows compresses under weight and slides apart at exactly the wrong moment; the Wedge does neither. Independent reviewers keep landing on the same point — that once you place it, it stays placed, and that trying to compress it by hand gets you nowhere.

It is made in Atlanta. Liberator's parent, Luvu Brands, is the largest sex-furniture manufacturer in the United States — sourcing materials locally and recycling its own foam offcuts into bean bags and pool floats. For a category built largely on anonymous overseas moulding, knowing which building your foam was cut in is unusual.

We are not going to tell you it is a bargain. At CAD 170 it costs roughly eight times a pillow, and reviewers name the price as the single biggest drawback. It is also bulky — 24 by 14 by 7 inches of foam that will not fold, will not go back in its shipping bag, and needs somewhere to live. If your bedroom is small or your budget is the deciding factor, that is a real reason to say no, and the Jaz is the smaller shape.

But if you are buying one piece of sex furniture and you want the one everything else was copied from, this is it. We hold all of them in Ottawa and ship them in plain packaging.

Pleasure With Purpose is our promise that pleasure should never come at anyone's expense. Launched in 2026 — our very first year in business — it directs 5% of every purchase to Canadian charities that support women impacted by sexual exploitation. We chose to start on day one, rather than "once we could afford it," because a brand built on consensual pleasure owes something to the women the wider industry has harmed. Every year we'll publish the numbers, the recipients, and the receipts.
