Workshop poll - how many pillows are on your bed?

[Kellie]

I get exhausted when I see a bed like this. How much time would you spend every day arranging the pillows in the morning and then putting them away each night?

How many pillows are on your bed?

[Jason]

We have four on our bed. Two are mainly decorative, so that's more than enough!

2 when it's up to me, 4 when it's up to Leah

I only have one pillow, but I also have one bolster (a long narrow pillow) that I can hug when sleeping.

[Isobel]

Ha! Just 4 pillows on the bed. But way too many cushions on the couch....

I just bought two large/wide ones in the USA. that makes 6 pillows on the bed now and I can tell you..that's 2 too much

I snore, so I have my own bedroom.

I have 2 pillows, 1 for me & my 4 legged mates. The other one's for when 1 of them wants to spread out, or for me when I return from a toilet break. : )

My wife on the otherhand, has amassed a bedding store front display of them, which takes over 30% of her queen sized bed.

I'm not a follower of this american trait.  I have the number of pillows that I sleep on on each bed - ie 1 for a single and 2 for a double.  Perfectly adequate.  

I agree with you that it does seem pointless arranging the pillows each morning and having to remove them to be able to sleep in the evening.

Pam and I have three each but they are fairly thin and as I have Barrett Syndrome I sleep on a slight angle to stop the acid reflux.
