Do you share your pillow with others?

Asked by jonsblond (43667points) October 7th, 2012

Not other people. Other pillows is what I’m talking about.

Are you loyal to one pillow or are you a pillow freak? A pillow freak (me) would have one between the legs, one between my arms and one for the head.

Can you sleep well when a pillow goes missing? A pillow freak can’t. just sayin’.

I have a pillow I made especially for me. When I accidentally left it at a hotel once, I waited for over an hour until they found it and returned it to me. It does not look special, so they thought I was nuts.

I have to have two average pillows under my head or my neck will have serious problems. I used to like having a pillow between my legs, but I haven’t bothered to do it in years. It is supposed to be good for your spine if you are a side sleeper.

I was going to answer, “Yes, occasionally. Why do you ask?” But you didn’t have on your mind, what I had on mine.

Is there a pillow arrangement that helps lower back pain? I wake with it in the morning. . . . the pain, not the pillow.

My grandson recently purchased a special pillow for himself and he gave me all four of the pillows he had been using. I’m glad he did, because I had recently placed two pillows from the other bedrooms in the laundry and they came out ruined.

I am a bit of a pillow freak. I have a favourite pillow and I don’t like to sleep on other pillows. Some people do that. I also have other pillows to lean against. I have a particular pillow to put my head on when I sleep. In saying that, I don’t take my pillow on trips.

For now, I’m faithful to one pillow. But only because my dog destroyed all of my pillows, and I haven’t had the chance to replace them yet.

I’m a pillow freak, there’s seven pillows in my bed, plus two cushions. I strategically place my pillows a certain way too, just how I like it. I always keep the window to my bedroom open, besides on the coldest Winter nights. So the way I place them keeps me warm. I have two placed vertically, so they look like they’re sitting up against the wall, and I place the main pillow on between those two, so when my head goes on it I sink in and there’s pillow all around my head. Then I have a huge one on my right side that I usually hug, and another big feather pillow on my left side that serves the same purpose when I turn the other way. Sometimes I’ll lay my head on one of those while hugging them, especially in the mornings when I wake up and need to be in a different position for a bit, before I get up. (which is really hard on weekdays)
Then there’s two pillows against the wall, so that if I happen to move over there my skin doesn’t touch cold ass wall.
And the two cushions, both my grandma made them, are near the wall too, one close to my feet. This way it’s soft everywhere. (and they serve as pretty decoration when the bed’s made) Plus I usually pull the comforter over my head, but since the level of my head is so much below the pillows, the pillows hold up the comforter, giving me a lot of space for air. I also have an emergency fart mechanism so I don’t smell up the whole settup, lol.
I have three pillows in the closet I’m not currently using, so I got a backup plan. Plus I have two cats that usually sleep with me for a good part of the night. They’re like ambulant pillows.

I love pillows, they’re so soft and comforting and make me feel good. Unfortunately, I can’t sleep on any kind of pillow; however, I find uses for the ones I can’t sleep on anyway. Like hugging them and keeping warm, or using them as anti cold wall shields. I always take some in the living room when watching movies or playing games. When you play video games for a long time, they’re great elbow rests, and of course, hugging pillows while watching horror movies is the way to go, man.
My pillows and I are one big family. The ones in the closet are the elders, watching over me, ready to sweep in if I’m ever in danger.

I have two pillows that allow my head to be buried deep within, bit like sleeping on huge marshmallows minus the stickiness.

Pillow freak.

Three under the head. One between the knees. One for hugging. Two more, floating around for backup.

And milk and cookies next to the bed, just for good measure? @cookieman

@Bellatrix: This is true. :^)

I was going to respond “Why, yes, I just shared my pillow with an incredible man just the other night!”

I have about 5 or 6 pillows on my bed, and I use them propped up against the headboard for TV watching, computer playing, reading, whatever. Some are down, some are man made. When I sleep, I prefer the down one. It’s cold and it’s not as puffy.

I don’t care what pillow I use as long as it is clean and doesn’t smell funny! I am certainly not loyal to one pillow and I tend to only use two, both for my head.

I have 2 pillows on my bed, not counting throw pillows, and one is for me and the other is for whichever cat or frog claims it. One never knows what they might wake up to out here in the summer. Frogs on the pillow or a dead gopher left lovingly arranged for that happy morning surprise. Yep, a dead gopher on your pillow just screams Good Morning! lol

I have two pillows, and I’m not specifically loyal to any particular pillows, as long as they’re a comfortable thickness.

I need four pillows and my bedmate who shall remain nameless needs to learn to quit absorbing the smallest of the four like some weird pillow version of the Borg.

Seaofclouds's avatar

I have two pillows that I use under my head. I always use the same two pillows until it’s time to get new ones and I can tell if my husband took one of my pillows.
