It's sleeping time... lol I wonder what is the most number of pillows one has on his bed while he sleeps... mine, I got only three... one for my head, one for my legs, and the other one for me to hug, a heart-shaped pillow given by my boyfriend... funny but I could hardly sleep if one of these is missing... lol well, i guess it's because of the comfort they give me when I need a good sleep...what about you, how many pillows do you have when you sleep? can you sleep easily and comfortably when one of your pillows is missing?

I am particular about what kind of pillow I use to sleep, if a pillow changes I have trouble sleeping..lol I have only one which is for my head and I too have a heart shaped pillow but my husband doesn't let me sleep with it. He says when I'm there why do you need a pillow to hug..hehe!

To be honest, I have like four/five pillows on the bed, but I only need like two the rest is for like decoration. I like them around; I have a pillow with nothing but roses on it; I bought it at the flea market and try not to sleep on that one. LOL.

Pillow - A very common type of pillow.
I usually don't sleep with any pillow in my bed, not even for my head because I like my column to be straight and if I sleep with a pillow it won't be that straight but besides that I never got used to sleep with one after all.

One, always I have used the pillow in piuma d'oca, hold it still, appeals to to me more, but hour I suffer from cervical, and say that not harmful but a normal pillow I must use, soft. My boyfrien uses two or three.

I have three and so does my hubby. I lay on them all, I like my head to be up. If one is missing I wouldn't be able to sleep...it would be weird. One pillow is definitely not enough for me!!

I was just at the physiotehrapist who tld me to jettisdon all my pillows except for one standard pillow for beneath my head, and if I want another for between my knees if I am lying on my side. She said anything more would aggravate the damaged nerves in my neck.

We have 4 pillows in our bed, just because I like to have alot. Need atleast 2 under my head if I am ot sleeping on my bf´s chest =) If i would have just one pillow I will not be able to sleep very well. There have been times when I have actually woken up from a pillow missing =)

Generally I keep only one pillow below my head but it should be thick enough else two pillows. Well I think this varies from person to person as all have their own habbits of sleeping.

I use a wedge pillow because I have acid reflux and asthma and can't lie down flat. On top of that, I have two regular pillows for my head. Often, I think about using a pillow between my knees. I'd have to get one of those ones specially for between the knees, though, because regular pillows don't stay. I can't sleep any other way then with the wedge and two pillows.

I just have two pillows. Anymore than that, and they just get in the way. My pillows are king-sized and not too hard, not too soft. I love them. I occasionally house-sit, and when I do, I take them along with me. I hate small, flat pillows. I don't know how people sleep on them! :) if I have to use pillows other than my own, I find it hard to sleep. Also, I do need both of my pillows. I'm pillow spoiled. :)

Actually the thing is I dont use a pillow while sleeping.Still I'm having a nice sleep.I dont think pillows have anything to do with the sleep.Actually the habit of using a pillow is strictly personal.These are all little things we have in our life.If you remove the pillow for a day ,it will affect your sllep.Buut if you do it regularly,you will adapt to it.

I have this really comfortable pillow made out of memory foam that I got recently so I only use that to sleep now but before we had these horribly flat pillows and even 2 didn't feel like much! I usually have half the duvet inbetween my legs for comfort and have my hands under the pillow..even though I sleep with my husband I ahrdly fall asleep hugging him because the side he sleeps isn't my comfy side lol
