Positional Cushions Australia - Sex Wedge Pillows & Intimacy Position Cushions

Positional cushions and wedges are foam or inflatable supports that prop your hips, back, or pelvis at angles that feel better and go deeper. They come as wedges, ramps, and pillows—each designed to reduce strain and open up new positions for couples or solo play.

About Positional Cushions

Positional cushions and wedges are purpose-built supports made from foam, PVC, or inflatable materials. A firm foam wedge lifts your hips or back to open deeper angles, while an inflatable design lets you adjust softness and pack it away between sessions. Covers range from soft velvet or microsuede to waterproof fabric, and most are removable and washable.

These supports work for anyone—couples looking to ease strain in favourite positions, people exploring solo, or BDSM players who need stable platforms for bondage work. Size matters: a smaller wedge suits beginners and tight spaces, while larger ramps give full-body support for intense sessions. You can pair them with Stockings and Garters for added visual appeal during partner play.

What makes Positional Cushions different

Unlike pillows or rolled towels, positional cushions have engineered angles and firmness to hold your weight without collapsing. They reduce lower-back strain, let you hit angles you couldn't reach alone, and stay put during movement. A wedge under your hips can change penetration depth and sensation completely. Pairing them with Lubricants and Lotions smooths comfort and reduces friction between your skin and the cover.

Types of Positional Cushions

Positional supports come in several styles, each built for different body positions and intensity levels:

Wedges. A triangular foam or inflatable wedge sits under your hips or back to tilt your pelvis. They're compact, affordable, and work well for missionary, spooning, or solo play where you need a single lift point.

Ramps. Longer and wider than wedges, ramps support your entire torso or rear. They're firmer and heavier, designed for couples who want sustained support across multiple positions. Water Based Lubes work best with fabric-covered ramps to prevent slipping.

Pillows. Soft, pillow-shaped cushions offer gentler support and suit people who prefer less rigid positioning. They compress slightly under pressure, which some find more comfortable for longer sessions.

Inflatable cushions. These pump up to your preferred firmness and deflate for storage. They're ideal if you live in a small space or travel, though they require care to avoid punctures.

How they compare

How to choose a positional cushion

Start by thinking about where you need support. A wedge under the hips works for most positions; a full ramp suits people who want back-to-pelvis support. Consider your space: inflatable designs pack away, while foam ramps stay out and ready. Firmness matters too—beginners often prefer softer pillows, while experienced users go for dense foam that doesn't compress during intense play.

Size your cushion to your body and bed. A standard wedge works for most people; taller or heavier bodies may need a larger ramp. Check the cover: removable and machine-washable is essential for hygiene. Oil Based Lubes can stain fabric covers, so stick to water-based options if your cushion has a cloth cover. Test the angle by lying on it before you buy—comfort is personal, and what works for your friend might not suit your spine.

After years of helping customers with positional cushions, we see the same mistake: people buy a wedge that's too soft or too small. A cushion that collapses under your weight defeats the purpose and can actually strain your back more. Test the firmness in-store if you can, or read reviews from people with your body type. Foam ramps outlast soft pillows if you play regularly.

Height and angle matter more than you'd think. A 100 mm wedge might feel too shallow for deeper penetration; a 200 mm ramp changes the whole game. Couples often find that a single wedge under one person's hips works better than two cushions—it keeps things stable and prevents sliding. If you're new to positioning, start with one wedge and add more only if you need it.

Fabric choice affects grip and comfort. Microsuede and velvet look nice but can be slippery with sweat or lube; waterproof fabric grips better. A non-slip base is crucial—you don't want your cushion sliding across the mattress mid-session. If you're using restraints or bondage gear alongside positioning cushions, make sure the angle doesn't put pressure on joints or nerves where cuffs sit.

Care and cleaning

Most positional cushions have removable covers that machine-wash on a gentle cycle. Air-dry covers completely before reattaching to prevent mildew. Wipe foam cores with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then air-dry thoroughly. Store in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight, which can fade and degrade foam over time. Check inflatable cushions monthly for slow leaks and keep the pump in an accessible spot.
