If you have a super king size bed...

What pillow set-up do you have? Do you have your pillows meet in the centre of the bed and have a big space on the outer edges? Or are they in the middle of your half so you have a gap either side of your pillows? We are upgrading to a SK soon and I can't envisage how the pillows will work Confused

A row of three pillows

DreamingofItaly · 17/10/2020 23:26

As above. Row of three pillows

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 17/10/2020 23:28

Pillow on each side with a nice big gap down the middle so we don't accidentally realise there's another person in the bed Grin

Our pillows each in the middle of our own side of the bed then another row perpendicular to those which go down the middle from the top of the bed.

The middle pillows help to protect DH from becoming the subject of my acted out night terrors. Poor bugger!

During the day when the bed is made, they're sort of neatened up a bit with cushions!

You can order superking size Pillows from Amazon..

Row of three. Well 6 really. Two for me two for DH and two for any child that ends up in between us during the night.

We have super king size pillows, 2 each set up like a normal bed.

AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 18/10/2020 00:08

@Pipandmum I've only just managed to find perfect pillows. I'm not going through that again! Also the pillowcases wouldn't match.

Normal two each with a gap in the middle. Unless DD gets int he bed then 1 for me 1 for her and 2 for DH. She only does it in the morning on a weekend so we can cope with that.

For a while we had 3 across.
DS took that as his cue to move in.
We now have two with a gap at each edge.
DS brings his own pillow if he wakes in the night.
(I don’t mind really, he’s super cosy and cuddly 😁)

Gap at the edge, gap in the middle, gap at the edge.

We have super king size pillows.

How do people with super king size pillows match them to the duvet covers...

underneaththeash · 18/10/2020 00:21

we have 2 pillows each and a gap - for the occasional child (who will bring their own pillow as we don't share!)

Tartyflette · 18/10/2020 00:30

We have tw normal pillows each with a gap in the middle that is filled by two small pillow-shaped cushions in a colour that contrasts with the wall paint.

I only have white bedding, so it's pretty easy.
Aquamarine1029 · 18/10/2020 00:32

Super king sized pillows here.

TyneTeas · 18/10/2020 00:34

I did not know super king size pillows existed though!

TheLastStarfighter · 18/10/2020 00:34

Gap in the middle.

I love my super-king bed Grin

MrsEricBana · 18/10/2020 00:36

Gap with "decorative cushion" (Grin) over it during the day and poodle in it at night.

MrsEricBana · 18/10/2020 00:37

(I'm not a fan of the whole cushion on bed thing but needs must and I can't expect poodie to sit there all day)

clopper · 18/10/2020 00:37

Row of 3 pillows

chinchin77 · 18/10/2020 00:38

H & M sell king size pillows and beautiful velvet pillowcases - I have those at back and regular pillows at front

LoveFall · 18/10/2020 00:42

Just like Mrs Eric Bana. Gap in the day and little white fluffball dog curled up in a ball at night.

fallfallfall · 18/10/2020 00:48

Proper sized pillows and bedding. Why would you have regular sized anything on a king bed?
