I Have a Rule

I love decorative pillows on my bed. My husband does not. But whose house is it anyway? So, I made up a rule. I make the bed with the pillows in the morning. All he has to do is remove them at night. Very simple. You can tell how anal he is by how neatly he stacks them Shhhhh…..Don’t tell him I said that. I love him just the same.

He did a good job stacking the pillows. You have him well trained. Most men would probably toss them on the floor

I like pillows on a bed also my boyfriend does not like all the extras. I need to get new pillows mine are getting to uncomfortable. I saw this one on television that is shaped like a candy cane you can huggood for head and neck but I am not sure if I want to pay $60

@DianneN I am thinking of trying memory foam pillows I tried one before and really liked it. I hope you find something you like soon .

I say that one on TV, too, but it's not for me. I need to get new bedding for our FL bedroom but can't find anything that I like. The sun is fading everything.

I Just have three pillows on my bed. One goes on the floor overnight and the cats sleep on it.

@DianneN They did not like the kitty bed so we washed it and gave it to someone else that has a kitten. They have a long pillow that they sleep on at night. They like it.

Don’t your kitties have kitty beds? Doodles used to sleep at the edge of the bed near my feet for about 10 minutes. If I was lucky.

That’s funny, I stack them as well when I take them off the bed. Dang it, that now makes me an anal person.

He doesn't use pillows in bed? How come? Or he just wants ordinary pillows with no decorations on them.

We both use regular pillows on the bed for sleeping. I always leave them on the bed here, and hide them with the decorative pillows. lol

There is commercial about such things. The important thing is you both get what you want.

My first wife covered our bed with decorative pillows... (I don't like them very much and only have a couple of decorative pillows and two throws on our living room couch.) I also neatly stacked them on the end of our dresser before getting in bed at night. There are no decorative pillows in my bedroom.

@DianneN I'm not a minimalist but there aren't a lot of decorative stuff in our house... I'd like to get rid of a lot of things Pretty thinks we "need" but she won't let me.

I’m sure my husband would choose not have any pillows in the house if it weren’t for me. He would be a minimalist for sure like he was when I first met him.

Sorry but I don't know why people have to have so many pillows on beds. When we house-sit there is little enough room for our belongings without trying to find somewhere to put all the pillows!

I never placed any decorative pillows on my bed. Now I do have one pillow which is a pig pillow and the pig is shown eating a slice of pizza. Sometimes it gets me hungry at night
