What does a sex positioner do? A positioner is a shaped cushion that lifts or tilts the body during sex. Raising the hips or supporting the chest changes the angle of penetration and takes strain off the back, arms and knees. That can make some positions easier to hold and others possible for the first time. The Pivot is inflatable, so it is firm when you need it and folds down small afterward. Its handles give either partner something to hold for balance.
Pivot Inflatable Positioner: support at any angle
The Pivot Inflatable Positioner is a shaped support cushion from Sportsheets. The body is durable vinyl that you inflate before use, and the outside has a soft, velvety coating with a non-slip finish to help it stay put. Once filled it is firm enough to hold up to 300 lb, and the maker describes it as suited to every body type.
Sturdy handles are built in. You or your partner can grip them for stability and control, and they are placed so they do not get in the way of any position. Let the air out when you are done and it stores flat.
Best for: For couples who want help with angles and support but have no room for a foam wedge. It also suits anyone who gets tired arms, hips or knees in certain positions. Because it deflates, it travels well and hides easily in a drawer.

How to use
Unfold the positioner on a flat surface and check that nothing sharp is underneath. Inflate it until it is firm but still gives a little when pressed, then close the valve fully. Place it on the bed or floor with the velvety side up. Try it first under the hips, then under the chest or stomach, to see which angles suit you both. Use the handles for balance. Keep the load under 300 lb. When you finish, open the valve, press the air out and fold it loosely for storage.
Care
- Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry it.
- Keep it away from sharp objects, jewelry, pet claws and direct heat.
- Deflate it fully and fold it loosely for storage; avoid sharp creases.
- Lay a towel over it if you use oil-based or silicone lubricant, which can mark the coating.

Frequently asked questions
How much weight can it hold?
The maker rates it for up to 300 lb. Stay within that limit, and do not kneel or drop onto it with force. Inflate it until it is firm, since an underfilled positioner supports less evenly.
Does it come with a pump?
The facts we have do not mention a pump, so do not count on one being included. Check the packaging when it arrives. A basic hand or foot pump for inflatables is the usual tool for this kind of product.
Will it slide around on the bed?
The outer coating has a non-slip finish that the maker says keeps it in place even during rough play. Using it directly on a fitted sheet or the floor gives better grip than placing it on loose blankets.
What are the handles for?
They give you or your partner something solid to hold. That adds stability and control, which helps in positions where one person would otherwise brace against the bed. They are positioned so they do not obstruct any position.
How do I store it?
Open the valve, press out the air and fold it. Deflated, it takes up little room in a drawer or a suitcase. Make sure the surface is clean and fully dry first.
