My husband, daughter and son hates sleeping on a pillow. I on the other hand cannot sleep without one. My husband snores when his head is not elevated. I can't imagine how they do that!! If I don't sleep on pillow I wake up with a cramp in my neck and I can't breath without one.I feel as if I am suffocating. I put pillows under my kids head and they throw them aside. Is that weird?

Yes, I do, I can't sleep if I don't and I find it very uncomfortable. Sometimes I sleep with two pillows and when I am on my side, I slide one under my belly.

A pillow under your belly is comfortable.

Yes I sleep on my pillow. In fact I have 2 pillows though I only sleep with one. I will put the extra pillow on one side, and my bolster on the other. :P

That is indeed weird because i too cannot sleep with my Pillow. i think im a bit over the edge when i say MY PILLOW its My PILLOW. I guess i Love my Pillow that much. When i use other pillows it makes my sleep restless. I need to have 2-3 pillows with me to sleep comfortably. I cant imagine it that your husband & kids dont like pillows... i guess that how they are used to. lol

There is always a certain pillow you sleep with better than others. I like them to be really firm

None of my children seemed to like sleeping on pillows either. I would often come into their bedrooms and find the pillows on the floor. Sometimes I would find the children lying on the floor curled up under their duvet cover. I myself couldn't sleep without a pillow and I like the nice soft feathery ones.

I hate it that my son doesn't sleep with one because his head is hanging down and when he wakes up his face looks swollen.

my family have always slept with pillows, i too agree that they suppport the neck, and i could not sleep with out one. infact i have to have a good fluffy pillow it cant be too flat and i hate the ones with feathers they poke you...when my husband snores i usualy just rollhim alittle and he will stop for a few, then if he starts back, i;ll do it again and finally he'll quit. but if it does'nt bother them then ts not weird just what they got used to and maybe that how your husband grew up without one..

Yeah those pillows with the feathers sticking out are the worst. Pillows help snoring

I used to sleep with 2 pillows, but now I sleep with one. I wouldn't like to sleep without a pillow, but I could if I had too.

I can't sleep without a pillow. I believe the last time I did, I got up in the morning with a stiff neck:-( I prefer my pillow not to be too soft, I like it a little firm. I don't know if it's to common for people to sleep without a pillow, however I don't think it's weird. (Good Question)

I have to sleep with a pretty thick, fat pillow or I can't breathe through my nose because I have a deviated septum in my nose. My husbad has to seep on one that's flat as a pancake or he gets a stiff neck. If I sleep on a pillow that's really flat or just not thick enough Iget a stiff neck too.

With me it depends on my mood. Some nights I want to sleep on a pillow and then others I don't. Last night I went to sleep on a pillow but this morning when I woke up the pillow was pushed was up and my head was below it. That is pretty normal for me because for some reason I put my head at the very bottom of the pillow.

I actually sleep on 3 to 4 pillows. I need my head at a certain angle in order to be able to breathe. It drives my hubby crazy. It's not so bad unless we have someone staying over and I have to give up one of my pillows.

i always sleep with pillows on my head. i feel like i can not breath if my head is laid low. i make sure that i elevate it even a bit for me to sleep well. there are times when i have small pillows, so what i'd do is put my arms/hands under my hand to at least elevate it. i think there is no problem with your husband and your kids. maybe they are just more comfortable not having pillows under their heads.

most times, I'll sleep with a pillow, but there are times, though rarely, i'll just sleep without one. i have a weird comfort level. sometimes, a pillow is great for me, and sometimes, it feels like a neck irritation to where I feel better to lay on the flat bed.

We all sleep with a pillow, including my 3.5 year old son. He has this Thomas the Train pillow. I sleep with 2 king pillows and my husband sleeps with 1 king pillow and 1 body pillow. I love really soft pillows.
