No tricky titles here. Just pillows. So,

How many pillows do you have/use/need to sleep at night?
Are they average sized? Small throw pillows? Long? Fluffy? Flat? Filled with feathers? Made of memory foam?
Use them for things other than sleeping?
Do you use them to keep you company on long lonely nights?

Depends on how the day went. Sometimes I sleep just on my mattress with no blanket or pillow, and then other nights I have to have like three of them. 8D More often than not, though, I just have one biggish pillow I usually use.

I usually use two pillows. One is Moderate-sized, the other is Somewhat Big.

Three pillows all of average sizes. They also work well for leaning on when I'm on my laptop or writing.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

Normally I have two regular pillows with me at all times when I go to sleep, but I forgot to take one of them back with me to my uni halls (and my uni only provides one pillow because it's evil... #firstworldproblem, I know), so I'm going to have to stick it out with one for the next few months. Time for a sad face... :(

I have one of those special memory foam pillows that is shaped to fit your neck, and then another one that's just like a normal pillow, but since it's made from the foam, it keeps its original shape... thus making it the perfect thing to hug during scary nights. Not that I do that. I'm a man. Men aren't afraid of the dark.

EIGHT.

I only (lmao, "only") had 4 up until yesterday but I went to my apartment (been living with my parents lately) and dragged home my pillows there and now I have eight. Two are body pillows, two are memory foam, and the rest are... just stuffing? No feathers here but I honestly don't know what's in pillows normally. xD; I think I miiiiight have just one or two too many since they end up doing nothing since there's no way I can actually use eight pillows but it's nice to have them. The top end of my bed is just a whole lump of 'em though. It's pretty awesome, I'm not gonna lie.

Regardless, though, I can't sleep unless I have two--preferably three-pillows. Gotta have two under my head and I usually lie on top of or hug another or something while I'm sleeping. Body pillows are SO comfortable for that. But there's one pillow that's my favourite and I tend to take it with me when I travel despite paranoia that I'll accidentally leave it behind in a hotel like I did with my previous favourite. :(

I could go on but I'll stop. XD;

I have three average sized pillows. I can barely sleep with one because of my bad habits, so I have three to use. I also have more piles of two pillows in case I roll over, so I can have the same pillow thickness everywhere. I haattteee it when I don't have enough pillows :<

I use two regular pillows to prop up my head.

I have this circular pink pillow that I wish I could use because I love the color and texture, but it's an odd shape. It'd be perfect for cuddling but I don't cuddle anything when I sleep. :( Ah, well.

I sleep with two creating a triangle like shape with my head, so both pillows are slanted down so I can grab either one when I switch sides. I can't sleep with my pillows horizontal.

However, the less the better imo. I can't understand how people sleep with like 3 pillows stacked on top on eachother.

I have four for sitting on my bed - three regular-sized and one about half that. I probably need a bit more than that actually, because my bedhead is bad enough for posture as it is.

I sleep on the three regular pillows, but I sometimes wake up with one, two or none under my head for some reason.

I have three. One is a feather pillow, the other two are just cheap Target pillows. Usually I sleep on two and have my arm around the other (or under the ones I'm lying on), or sometimes I'll just kinda nestle my head into them. I can't just sleep on one pillow though.

Yeah, I can't sleep on just one either. It's like nothing.

Always two pillows. Three if I sick because it keeps my head up XD

All my pillows are feathered

One big flat pillow is enough. Flat because I can't stand it when my head has a different height than the rest of my body when lying, I find it extremely uncomfortable. No feathers because someone in my family (I think it was my father, but I'm not too sure) is allergic to them.

I have three pillows. One is for my head, and the other two are at the ends of my bed to seperate me from the wall and from falling off. Using only one pillow to sleep sucks, and once I stop being so lazy I'll see to it that I increase my stock to at least ten.
