I have moved into a executive suite with my daughter. It is called an executive suite because it is furnished and it is expensive and beautiful. We decided to rent it because we are tired of living in not so nice of places. It is beautiful here in our new home. It came totally furnished right down to the bedding. I have 11 pillows on my bed. Two normal pillows and 9 throw pillows. They are all different and have fancy designs and beads and all that, expensive looking. But at night time it is a pain to take them all off the bed and in the morning putting them all back on. It is time consuming but you know what, it looks so good and I don't have to worry about making my bed perfectly because I just throw the pillows on and it looks nice.
So, my question is this, how many pillows do you have on your bed? Are some of them just throw pillows? Please share.

wow chris. you moved into an executive suite?? cool! and you have 11 pillows?? goodness! isn't that too many?? 
i think i have seen a movie with someone living in a suite like that, with her bed full of pillows and every night before she sleeps, she would remove the pillows one by one before she can even sleep! and in the morning, she'll take time in putting back the pillows. there came a time that she suffered something painful emotionally and one night, she just couldn't take it and placed her anger on the pillows, destroyed them one by one.
anyway, i only have two pillows in my bed. one for my head and the other for my legs to rest on. sometimes i hug the other one but mostly i just put it below where i can put my legs on it. at times i would sleep with a stuffed toy. ^__^;;

Yeah sometimes it can be a bit of a pain. I make my bed every morning so I also have to take them all off at night so I can go to bed. They are pretty though and worth the couple minutes it takes.

There are four pillows on my bed. Two are mine and two are my husband's. Allof them are meant to be used and slept with. We don't have any decorative throw pillows on the bed. I have two different ones depending on how squishy I want the pillow I'll be sleeping on. Sometimes I want a softer one and sometimes I want a harder one.

Oops, I deleted your friendship by mistake. I have now requested it again. Sorry about that. I was doing some cleaning here in mylot and I deleted you thinking that you don't respond to my discussions and since that is the idea of being friends, helping each other out, and I thought you weren't responding, I deleted you. So I am very sorry and I am hoping you will accept again.

Wow--sounds like some real fancy 'diggs' you got yourself there, Chris. Good for you! And that's alotta pillows! I have 3 pillows on my bed and hubby also has 3. I have 1 throw cushion as well, mostly just for decoration. My favouritte part of the day, actually is snuggling up on my bed and watching tv to 'wind' down in the evenings.

What a lovely change of pace you have chosen.
I have just a few pillows on my bed now, but in the past I have had a bunch of decorative pillows. I loved the look, but didn't like all the taking off and putting them back on business I had to do. Then I thought about my allergies and decided that I had to get rid of them. It did look nice though - I had a comforter plus all those pillows and besides throwing the comforter on and piling up the pillows, I didn't have to fuss with smoothing out wrinkles and getting things just so.

Wow! 11 pillows! My bed isn't big enough for those many pillows so I only use three. One for my head and two for each side. I like having a pillow on each side because I sleep sideways all the time. This way, when I curl up, I can still have access to my pillows! Anyway you're lucky that you can afford to stay at a fancy place. Why earn money on myLot if you can afford that kind of lifestyle?

We are using two pillows and a long pillow which my huband and I share each other. I kept the other two pillows in our wardrobe because there is no room to put more pillows on our bed. I am already satisfied with two pillows, which one for me and one for my husband, and of course, the long pillow that we share! :)

Hee. I only have 1 pillow and it's actually pretty useless to me. I do not use a pillow when I sleep. It's laid against the wall to prevent me from knocking against the wall when I sleep. I have many stuffed toys on my bed though. Mostly Pooh bears. :) I also have my beloved bolster and blanket.

My husband brought a set like that when we got married and he moved in. I told him that they were beautiful and I loved them. Then I told him that I hoped he realized that he would be making the bed every day because I was NOT going to bother with all of those pillows! We now have four regular pillows and no throw pillows on our bed. LOL
I can't sleep without many pillows, when I have to sleep over with friends or relative I borrow atleast 3 pillows.

We just have the two we sleep with, but I would like more! I see pictures of beds with lots of throw pillows with different colors and patterns and they're so pretty! We just redecorated our bedroom and I plan to add more pillows for decoration soon. :)

I would have liked to post a picture here of my bed, but I don't know how, yet. As soon as I figure it out, with my daughter's help, I will post some pictures of my house.

Okay, now I know how to post a picture so here is a picture of my bedroom and as you can see I have a lot of pillows on it. I don't think you can count them, but you can see them.

No. I don't live in a hotel. It is an apartment, a basement suite in a house. I pay a monthly rent bill. That is a lot of pillows in your house.

I have 4 pillows on my bed. None are throw pillows. Three of them are thin that's why I have so many. My favorite one is a fluffy leopard print pillow. That's the one I put my head on. The other ones I just stack at the head of the bed in case I need extra elevation for my head.
