How to Clean a Sex Positioning Pillow: Cover Washing & Foam Care

How to Clean a Sex Positioning Pillow

Sex positioning pillows have two components with different cleaning requirements: the foam core and the fabric cover.

Cleaning the Cover

Most sex pillow covers are removable. Wash in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use bleach. Tumble dry on low heat β€” high heat damages the velvet-like microfiber most covers use. For lubricant spots, treat before washing with a small amount of dish soap, wait 5 minutes, then wash normally.

Cleaning the Foam

Foam cannot be machine washed β€” it absorbs water and is nearly impossible to fully dry, which promotes mildew. Spot-clean the foam with a damp cloth and mild soap only if the cover has failed to contain a spill. Let it air dry completely (24–48 hours) before replacing the cover.

Preventing Deep Soiling

The best foam care is prevention. Use covers consistently and replace them rather than washing the foam. Many manufacturers sell replacement covers, which is much cheaper than replacing the full product.
