Liberator Heart Wedge Pillow - Rose Microvelvet

The Liberator Heart Wedge is a sex positioning pillow in the shape of a soft heart, covered in rose microvelvet so it can sit on the bed as a cushion when it isn't in use. Like the classic Liberator wedge, it's a firm foam incline that lifts the hips. The difference is the rounded, heart-shaped top, which is contoured to cradle the bottom and looks decorative rather than clinical.

What the lift changes

Raising the pelvis by a few inches changes the angle between two bodies. Lying back on the Heart Wedge tilts the hips up, which makes deeper positions easier to reach and takes strain off a partner's arms and knees. It also gives a better angle for G-spot pressure from fingers or a curved toy, and the incline can make oral sex more comfortable for the giver's neck.

Ways to use a liberator wedge

• Missionary: lie back with the wedge under your hips, the thick end toward your head, so your pelvis tilts up.
• From behind: kneel and lean forward over it, resting your hips or tummy on the incline so your back doesn't sag.
• Oral: sit or lie with your hips on top while your partner kneels at the edge of the bed.
• Solo: prop your hips on it while using a wand or vibrator, so your hand doesn't have to work at an awkward angle.

Firm foam doesn't flatten the way a bed pillow does, so the angle you start with is the angle you keep, which is the whole point of a positioning pillow.

Size and feel

It measures 18 inches wide, 14 inches long and 7 inches high. That makes it smaller than Liberator's larger ramps and easy to keep on the bed or tuck in a closet. Inside is a fully supportive polyurethane foam; outside is a soft polyester microvelvet that feels plush rather than slippery. If you want a bigger base for kneeling or more height, look at a larger ramp from the same brand.

Keeping it in the bedroom

Because it looks like an accent cushion, the Heart Wedge doesn't need hiding between uses. Lean it against the headboard with your other pillows and it blends in. Microvelvet does collect lint and pet hair, so a quick pass with a lint roller keeps the rose fabric looking fresh.

Cleaning the cover

The microvelvet cover zips off and can go in the washing machine. Underneath it, a moisture-resistant polyester liner protects the foam from lube and other fluids. Wash the cover on a gentle cycle and let it dry before replacing it; a towel on top during messier sessions saves you from washing it every time.

Delivery and set-up

The wedge is vacuum-compressed for delivery, so it arrives smaller than its final size. Unwrap it on a flat surface and give the foam time to recover its full shape before you judge the firmness. Liberator includes set-up tips with the pillow. It arrives in a plain, unmarked brown box.
