1. two of them

   connected to my wifes upper torso

2. I prefer big but very soft and fluffy, but it’s not a need

3. A soft fluffy pillow on top of a firmer flat pillow is the perfect combination

4. I use a single firm pillow, just enough to keep my neck straight while I sleep on my side.

5. I like a mix of flat and fluffy. Used to need 2-3 for my head, ~2 for my legs, and 2-3 to fill the gaping void inside of my soul due to being single and alone most nights.

   Since I’ve started using shaped cushions, though, I find that sometimes just one is enough about the knees and I don’t always need one at the ankles, too.

6. Through some combination of being the right size to start with, stacking or folding I need to be able to get my neck roughly straight while sleeping on my side. As long as that’s possible I am not worried about details.

7. I definitely prefer flat pillows, and generally I’ll use two flat ones under my head. It props my head up slightly while still being comfortable while laying on my side. I can also stand them up if I need to sit up in bed and have good back support.

   I don’t like the feeling of fluffy pillows blowing up around my head when I put my head down. It feels suffocating and I don’t feel like I get good support.

8. Just to elevate my head enough that I actually can fall asleep and don’t wake up with debilitating headache and blood running out of my nose. Nothing else. It could be a wooden log wrapped in duct tape, for all I care.

9. I’m sure I’ll get flamed for this but I bought some of those mypillows and they rule. I bought them based on the size guide and the wife throws them in the dryer to fluff them however often.

10. Tempur pedic large profile contour neck pillow.

    I got it and the large purple harmony pillow at the same time.

    The tempur pedic and my bank account won.

11. When I sleep alone I usually have at least 4 including a body pillow

12. I also have pillow preferences. I prefer the milk pillows myself. They are heavenly!

13. Flat pillows only as I sleep with a pillow over my arm.

14. Japanese makura pillows. I discovered them about 10 years ago and *frickin’ love* them.

    They’re not for everybody, and they take a little getting used to. They’re not fluffy at all, but they’re not flat either. They feel more like giant overstuffed bean bags. But there’s no going back for me. I have trouble sleeping on anything else.

15. Several flatter ones to stack as I need.

16. It doesn’t really matter to me. I’m able to sleep on a rock hard surface with nothing more than my shirt rolled up as a pillow.

17. I can’t do firm, so either medium or soft.

    I prefer medium-soft.

18. One pillow is too small, two pillows is too much, I have a memory foam pillow that is somewhere in the middle and it’s pretty good

    I don’t really care though

19. two fluffy feather pillows on top of a flat long one.

20. There’s a certain pillow type that’s perfection but I sleep everywhere if I’m tired enough.

21. I’m a side sleeper so I need something on the thicker side to prevent awkward neck floppage and a very uncomfortable morning.

22. Medium firm goose down.

23. Soft, fluffy, the Squishmallow type.

24. A soft nice smelling pillow on a nice fine bed that isn’t too soft so I don’t dig into it nor rough so it doesn’t rub against my skin wrong

25. I dont have one I rly like 🙁 But I imagine a fluffy one would be nice.

    I want pillow that’s always cool. It gets warm so fast when you use it. Flipped it around, moving around trying to find to cool side of it.

26. None

27. Breasts, if I am being honest.
