XR Love Pillow Heart Pillow

The XR Love Pillow is a heart-shaped sex pillow made from firm, high-density foam, sized to slip under your hips, knees or chest and change the angle of whatever you're doing. A soft velvet cover keeps it pleasant on bare skin, a water-resistant inner cover protects the foam, and both covers come off for the washing machine. It suits couples who want better angles and more comfort without bringing obvious equipment into the bedroom.

Firm foam that actually lifts

Bed pillows flatten as soon as you put weight on them, which is why they're frustrating under the hips. The core of this one is high-density PU foam that keeps its shape under body weight, so the lift you start with is the lift you keep. At 7 inches high, it raises the hips or chest enough to change angles noticeably without feeling like you're perched on furniture. The foam has a little give on top, so it feels supportive rather than hard.

Ways to use a sex pillow

The heart is 18.25 inches across at its widest and 12.5 inches long, roomy enough for hips or shoulders while staying easy to move around mid-session. A few places to try it:

• Under the hips, lying on your back. Tilting the pelvis upward changes the angle of penetration, which many people find makes G-spot or P-spot contact easier for a partner or a toy.
• Under the knees. Cushion them in doggy style or when kneeling over a partner, especially on a firm mattress or the floor.
• Under the chest or shoulders. Lying face down with the chest raised takes pressure off the neck and arms during longer sessions.
• Between the thighs or shins, on your side. It holds the top leg up and open, so a partner can approach from behind in a spooning position without you holding your leg.
• Under the head. Simple neck support while receiving oral sex or a massage.

Two covers, both washable

The outer cover is a velvety polyester that feels soft against bare skin. Under it sits a water-resistant nylon inner cover that keeps sweat, lube and other fluids away from the foam, so the core stays dry and doesn't hold onto moisture. Both covers zip off and are machine washable, which is the main reason a dedicated pillow is easier to live with than a towel over a bed pillow. Wash them after play and let them dry fully before zipping them back on.

Low-key enough for the couch

In red velvet and a heart shape, it reads as a throw pillow rather than gear. You can leave it on the bed or sofa with your other cushions, and nobody needs to know what it's really for. If you'd prefer a larger wedge or ramp shape with more height, this is the softer, more casual alternative. Try it under each partner in turn, too: the same 7 inches of lift feels quite different depending on body size, and swapping can open up angles you hadn't considered.
