BEDROOM-INSIDER
Short answer: Here's how to use a sex pillow: set it grip side down with the tall end toward the foot of the bed, and rest her hips near the top of the slope. The WildNightX Pillow then holds them at a steady 27° tilt, and small shifts up or down fine-tune the angle.
The pillow is out of the box and on the bed. You both look at it. Then at each other. Which end goes where?
It's a funny moment, and it's where a lot of first nights go sideways. One Reddit user described the start as "a bit awkward at first finding the right positions." Another, after a wedge that let them down, said "it just seems to make things more awkward than enjoyable."
Almost all of that comes down to placement. The WildNightX Pillow has three parts to know: the 27° slope you rest on, the tall end where the slope peaks, and the silicone grip base underneath. A small head pillow sits on top and lifts off. Learn those, follow the 7 steps below, and the first night feels easy.
"They're a must-have for any couple wanting to explore new positions."
Most first nights start here. Face to face, her hips on the slope.
Grip base: down on the sheet, in the middle of the bed.
Tall end: toward the foot of the bed.
Her hips: near the top of the slope, with her lower back resting down the slope toward her head. Now her hips sit at a steady 27° tilt.
Head pillow: lift it off and tuck it under her head or neck, or set it aside.
The 27° slope is fixed. Where she rests on it is up to you.
Want more lift? She moves her hips closer to the tall end.
Want less? She slides a little way down the slope.
Lower back feels arched? She slides down until her back rests flat on the foam.
Small shifts make a big difference. Once it feels right, the firm foam holds it there, so nobody has to stop and fix anything.
Same pillow, same spot. She just turns over.
Grip base: still down, in the middle of the bed.
Her hips: she lies face down with her hips and belly over the slope and her chest on the bed.
Her arms: resting on the bed or around a regular pillow. Victoria Ruffing, RN-BC, director of patient education at Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center, suggests "having some rolled towels or pillows handy for people who do need to prop themselves or support a leg or support an arm."
If it feels off: lower back feels pinched? She shifts her hips a little lower on the slope.
For kneeling, the tall end holds up her upper body.
Grip base: down, with the tall end facing her.
Her knees: on the bed, in front of the pillow.
Her chest and arms: resting on the tall end, so her arms don't carry her weight.
If it feels off: knees sore? Put a folded blanket under them.
Best for height differences. Nobody kneels.
Grip base: down, on the edge of the mattress.
Her hips: on the slope, close to the edge, with her feet on the floor.
Him: standing at the edge of the bed.
If it feels off: heights still don't match? He bends his knees a little. The grip base keeps the pillow from creeping off the edge, so nobody has to hold it.
Turn it around and the pillow becomes a chair.
Tall end: up, behind his shoulders, near the headboard.
Him: he sits back against the slope, with the small head pillow behind his neck.
Her: she sits on top, facing him.
If it feels off: sliding down the slope? Push the pillow back against the headboard.
The last step is the easiest. Clean up, then put it back on the bed.
Cover: unzip the linen cover and pull it off the foam.
Wash: the cover goes in the washing machine. The foam core does not.
Protect: the pillow is lightly water-resistant, not waterproof, so lay a towel on top if you like.
Store: zip the cover back on and leave it on the bed. It looks like a regular gray cushion.
Learn its three parts first: the 27° slope, the tall end and the grip base. Then start with the basic position, her hips near the top of the slope, and fine-tune from there.
For the basic position, the tall end faces the foot of the bed and her hips rest near the top of the slope. Her lower back rests down the slope toward her head.
Move her, not the pillow. For more lift, she moves her hips closer to the tall end. For less, she slides a little way down the slope. Once it feels right, the firm foam holds it.
Yes. Stand it up with the tall end behind his shoulders, near the headboard, and it becomes a chair. The small head pillow on top can go behind his neck.
Unzip the linen cover and put it in the washing machine. The foam core does not go in the wash. Zip the cover back on, and it looks like a regular gray cushion on your bed.
Set it once, and it holds: a fixed 27° slope, 60 kg/m³ memory foam rated for 260+ lbs, a silicone grip base and a washable linen cover. Now $124.95 (was $169.95).
