Let me tell you the easiest way to get the best sex….
By using sex wedge! And guess what?

How to Build a Sex Wedge: Method!
Now, you want your pillow to be sexy, right? I mean if you’re going to be screwing on it, you want it to look good, feel good and make you and your lover have better sex.
You’ll need to look at how a top-quality sex pillow is made for inspiration. Once you have that in mind, you can follow these steps to build your own…
1. Get a large block of foam and a felt tip pen.
2. Use the felt tip to draw the side angle view of the measurements onto the side of the foam. The wedge should be 14″ in length, 24″ in width, and 7″ tall to match Liberator dimensions.
3. Make sure the incline is 27 degrees.
4. Use an electric knife to cut the foam to measurements.
5. Place the wedge onto machine washable, water-resistant fabric (fabric should be face down).
6. Draw around the wedge shape including an additional half inch. Do this for each side of the wedge.
7. Cut out the panels.
8. Sew all the seams together (apart from the zipper seam) ensuring the underside of the seam is on the back of the fabric.
9. Sew the zipper in.
10. Push the wedge into the cover.
Tip: Be very careful when cutting the foam. It’s very dense and hard to cut. Make sure your knife is sharpened.
Things to Consider when making your own Sex Wedge
Positions
To have a mind-blowing sex life you really need erotic furniture.
Why? Well, this is the thing, when you treat yourself to sex products that enhance your sex life, you enjoy much more than the standard go-to missionary position.
Making an erotic pillow like the Liberator Wedge makes your regular positions more exciting. More sensational.
Doggy style is incredible, along with missionary and oral sex positions.
On a sex wedge, your hips are lifted – this coupled with the 27-degree angle gives you sensational sex. You have to try oral sex liberator shapes to feel the relief of your muscles when receiving or giving oral sex.
It not only feels better, it also supports your body. This is next-level sex. It also takes the strain off your limbs and joints.

Pros
- Feels great under your hips during doggy style.
- Helps your lover find your g-spot or p-spot.
- Erotic pillows take the strain off your joints.
Cons
- Can be tricky to make if you aren't good at arts and crafts!
Size
The size of your sex furniture is important.
The interesting thing when building your own is how you’re able to make it “fit” you (see best plus size furniture).
You might end up making a couple if you’re not that handy at crafts (like me) but if you’re great at design and textiles, you could end up with the perfect size wedge.
Now, the Liberator wedge is 14″ in length, 24″ in width, and 7″ tall. So this is the standard size. If you’re plus-size or a small, then you’ll want to change those measurements.
Also, think about how many partners you plan to have on a wedge pillow. If it’s just for solo-sex stimulation it won’t need to be as big as it would if you’re going to have one or two lovers!
You can make your DIY pillow a ramp by measuring your body and also thinking about how high you want your hips off the bed.
Pros
- Custom build to your preferential size.
- You can make your pillow ramp-size rather than wedge-size if you want.
- Excellent sexual support if you and your lover are plus-size people.
Cons
- It's hard to get dense foam into the cover.
- It's easy to make it the wrong size. (Tip? Follow: Liberator shape sizes.)
Material
So, it’s really important to choose the right materials to make your wedge. To build your sexy pillow, you’re definitely going to need the following…
- High-density foam block.
- Fluid-resistant, machine washable fabric.
- 24″ zipper.
You’ll also need the following tools:
- An electric knife.
- A protractor.
- A ruler.
- Felt tip pen.
- Tailor’s chalk.
- Sewing machine or needle, thread, and scissors.

(Tip: The Liberator website often has discount codes for you to benefit from.)
Pros
- If you're crafty, you might have what you need around the house.
- High-density foam is quite cheap to buy.
Cons
- It's hard to cut high-density foam.
- It's hard to make the sides smooth unless you have a really sharp electric knife.
- Sewing neatly isn't easy!
Furniture Features
Erotic pillows come in all different shapes. You can check out Liberator shapes for ideas on how to make your sex cushion shape more interesting.
The shape of the pillow is a feature that can look good as well as feel good.
Think about what you want.
Also take into account the color you want the fabric, what sort of fabric feels good on your skin. This really increases pleasure.
You can adapt the angle of the wedge or its height. Stimulation from oral sex is so much hotter when your lover is comfortable too. Sex pillows make it easier for them to stay down longer!
Pros
- You can use fabric that perfectly suits your bedroom.
- Sex pillows look good on your bed and are also good for reclining.
- Use your all-time favorite fabric that turns you on.
Cons
- If you find DIY hard, your pillow could end up being a turn-off!
Any Accessories?
If you’re in one of those couples who love a little kink then you can make your pillow kinky.
How? Include something exciting like cuffs. Take note of how the Black Label Wedge has handles for your favorite restraints!
Or perhaps you’d fancy a piece of furniture that holds your favorite vibrator (check my guide about vibrating body pillow)?
You could make a sleeve in the wedge to hold your sex toy.
Liberator sex toy mounts are pillow mounts that make masturbation as good as partner sex!
Pros
- Include your favorite sex toys in your design.
- If you like kink, include cuffing points.
Cons
- The more accessories you include, the more difficult it is to build.
Safety
When you make a sex pillow for doggy style or any sex furniture, safety should be a priority. You want to be getting off at all times and that doesn’t include hurting yourself or someone else.
Building a wedge isn’t as hard as other DIY furniture items because most of the materials are soft.
However, you need to ensure you use tools safely and correctly. Also, if you were to create your own pillows but you got all the angles and dimensions wrong, you could end up causing pain rather than ecstasy in bed!
If you’re a lover of restraints, ensure you have built your pillows with quick-release features so you’re always safe.
You’ll also want to use flame-resistant materials, especially if you’re a lover of candles. And who isn’t? Temperature play is the hottest!
The people who design erotic furniture for big brands like Liberator are experts. To put your mind at rest and have the best sex, buy their perfectly designed and manufactured products instead!
Pros
- Soft furnishings are a bit safer to make than other DIY furniture.
- You can choose your favorite flame-resistant fabrics.
Cons
- It's hard to know the safest fabrics to use.
- If you build the pillow at an awkward angle, you could damage your posture.
Cost
Building your own erotic furniture might appear to be cheaper. However, you often get unexpected costs.
If you’re a creative person who is good with their hands and making things, then you might be able to make a ramp or wedge easily.
If you’re not, you might end up having to build it twice or buying one!
Also, you have to factor in the cost of tools. A sewing machine and an electric knife don’t come cheap!

Pros
- If you have all the tools you need, it could work out cheaper to make a pillow.
Cons
- Tools are expensive.
- It can take a lot of time to make your pillow.
- It often works out cheaper for you to buy DIY furniture.
