Do you embrace your pillow?

When sleeping, do you have this habit of hugging your pillow? I have 15 pillows on my bed. They are of different sizes and shapes. I have this big and soft pillow that I hug when I sleep. I do not share my bed with anyone and I feel comfortable hugging my pillow when I sleep. This is especially true when it is cold at night. How about you? Do you have the same habit?

Hi dolce! Wow 15 pillows you probably have a king size bed though! I don't have a habit hugging pillow, I can actually sleep without pillow, but I do have pillow, but only 3, lol. I know some people that have the same habit as you and they can't actually sleep well without their long soft pillow.

I used to have more. My mom told me to remove most of them and be contented with a few. So I started taking the other pillows off my bed. One day, I would take off the others as well.

I couldn't sleep without a pillow between my legs and one to embrace..Even if my husband is at home for the night, I still hug my pillow instead of him ..That's because my pillow is softer and cooler to hug.... When I hug my husband, and it's a hot night, seems that his body heat merges with mine and I would feel uncomfortable and sweaty..Besides, I move around most of the time and he doesn't like that..Well, when I move, the pillow doesn't mind moving along with me..

I have a big king size bed that I share with my husband and we have big pillows on it too. I always hug my pillow when I sleep. That is where I am headed right now as a matter of fact! I love cuddling up with my pillow. Usually my husband hugs me too, but it is so comforting having a pillow too. I can't imagine not cuddling up with one! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!! I'm off to La La Land!

Hey dolce, Thats an awful lot of pillows to have on your bed! I unfortunately share my bed with someone who hugs a pillow instead of me! Isn't that nice! Yup! My bf prefers to hug his "pillow woman" instead of me! So, I prefer to hug my cat Star instead of him! Only he doesn't like Star to sleep in the bed and chases him out. Star is smarter then him and sneaks back in the bed and under the covers when bf falls asleep! That's my smart kitty! And that's my stupid bf!

Hi, Dolce_vita78! When I was younger and single, I used to have this long pillow that I embraced when I sleep. I really can't sleep without it. And I don't share it, too. But when I got married, I don't have this long pillow anymore. LOL. It's my husband that I embrace all night now. LOL. And now that I have three children, I have the four of them take their turns so that I can embrace and sleep by their sides each night. Regards, Dolce_vita78. Happy posting!

It all depends on my level of comfort at the time as to whether or not I embrace my pillow or not. I sleep with two pillows and sometimes it is more comfortable to throw one of my hands or arms in between the two or wrap an arm around one of them.

yes, i embrace my pillow when i sleep and when i have a spare pillow to hug. but usually, if i only have two pillows, i use one for my head and the otehr in between my legs.. if it's a hotdog pillow that i use, i hug it aswell, but if it's not and i dont have another pillow, i just make sure i have a pillow between my legs..am more comfortable having it than a pillow to hug!

Hello dolce. I do not have the habit of embracing my pillow though I have two extra ones in my bed. You know, some of the habits have been developed since the childhood. My son has been into the habit of smelling and kissing his towel blanket ever since he was a little kid. It is very natural of people to have some personal habits like this. Good day and take care.

Fifteen pillows sounds like Heaven to me - I thought I had a lot with five! I have a big fat pillow to support my head and shoulders when I read in bed, two thin ones to lay my head on when I sleep, and two more I can cuddle or place around my legs and hips to keep me warm and cosy. I wake up sometimes in a little nest of pillows, maybe I should add some more and make one big nest out of them.
