    3 pillows behind my head and one under my laptop when I'm still awake.
    2 at kind of right angles when I'm going asleep. Nicely laundered bed linen with lots of fabric softener. My dog sleeps at the end of my bed with his head on my feet as well. I also leave the radio on all night. 'tis nice. My bed is lovely, hard to get up in the mornings especially in winter.

    1-2, it depends. Frequently turned to the cold side during the night.

    I sleep with 1 very flat pillow as I hate having 3 or 4.

    Same here! I slept without a pillow for a few years couldn't stand the feeling of them! Now a use a very flat pillow. Occasionally I like big fluffy ones, but those stiff ones are awful!

    Hmm used to be two, now 2/3 for when I'm on comp/reading in bed lounging around, one flat one for sleeping with my shoulder under it. which raises it a bit to me.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,029 ✭✭✭shedweller


    one if it is thick, two if they are thin. The wife has a minimum of 4, sometimes 5 or 6. I tried it one evening and i don't know how she does it tbh!:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,238 ✭✭✭Ardennes1944

    Birthday on the weekend,got the best pressie ever,a pillow you plug your mp3 into and it has a speaker in it! Lethal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,288 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    All you poshies with your multiple pillows
    Sure, I had to use turf for a pillow when I was a young 'un.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    I used to sleep with loads of pillows & was never happy. Some were too flat, some too spongy, some just incomfortable. Then I discovered memory foam pillows - the queen of all pillows & I have been manogomous ever since. Just the one pillow satisfies me now. It fits me perfectly & always gives me a good night in bed.

    The same thing could be said for my sex life!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,288 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    Where did you pick yours up? I needs a decent pillow.
    This He-Man pillow is getting a bit long in the tooth now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    The missus got it for me, so I have no idea. Probably in a pillow shop, if there's such a thing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,062 ✭✭✭Uriel.


    Two. One of which is a kick ass memory foam pillow and is the bleedin' bees knees. Hate not sleeping in my own bed now, miss the comfort too much. Also gots a memory foam mattress. saaaavage

    i actually seen them in penneys there the other day, dunno how much, but it was penneys, can't be that pricey :)

    @ starbelgrade

    They're weird at first - I used to do the same thing as you - I'd snuggle the pillows under my neck & sleep like a baby, but would often wake up with a sore neck... then after a while I got used to the memory foam pillow & haven't had a sore neck since, unless I'm sleeping in someone else's house or a hotel.. I even bring it with me sometimes if I have the car (even when we go camping!!)

    from home brew labs in the attic to memory foam pillows... jesus...

    :pac:

    What can I say - I've lived a full & varied life!

    Well, at least I'm not officially old. A man only becomes officially old when he starts wearing slippers.

    And I still do home brewing - only it's craft beer instead of cider & it's all done nice & safely in the shed!

    I won't mention the "unnoficial" herb garden


    :p

    I have two pilllows but I inevitably throw one out of the leaba and settle down on just one.

    Nothing beats a real down pillow. I hate the fake spongy/foam ones.

    Three- two for my head and one to soften the unrelenting stab of mattress springs in my back. The springs. The ****ing springs... *twitch*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 455 ✭✭Xyo


    three pillows!.. a soft one on bottom a hard one in the middle and a soft one on top :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    Two, one for me and one to smoother an intruder should one be stupid enough to try :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,492 ✭✭✭Thomas828


    I've got two luxurious feather pillows. They've been my faithful bedfellows for the past three years and the reason why I've no trouble falling asleep at night.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 977 ✭✭✭Abrasax


    One soft one.
    I like to keep my ear close to the ground.

    Pretty much.
    I just use a 1 and a half inch mattress, on the floor.

    i like feather pillows, but did you ever find that they nearly deafen you when you have your ear pressed against them?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 206 ✭✭AlmostFamous


    I have two pillows on my bed.
    I can only sleep with my head resting on one.
    The only time I use both is if I'm reading in bed to prop my back up.
