Single people with double beds, how do you arrange your pillows?

[MoiraNotRuby]

Do you have left and right pillows and then have to sit/sleep on one side, or do you have them centralised? I keep thinking my bed looks wrong without left/right pillows.

Two behind head when still awake
Spread out in a sort of L shape when sleeping it's lovely and comfortable to have the corner space of the L
(I've thought about this quite a bit)

I have four pillows spread out in a single line across my KS bed so that wherever I jiffle or roll to I have a pillow. (If that makes any sense) 🙂

I only have 1 side of the bed. 2 cats and 1 dog have the other side but we all stay in our lane unlike when ex was here

I have 3 pillows. One on each side, and one for my head in the middle.

I have 4 pillows all strewn across the top of the bed so I can move around and get comfy wherever feels right. Usually right in the middle. I pile them up behind my head if I'm staying away watching telly or having a cuppa.

I surround myself with a rectangular fortification of pillows, so I always have somewhere to rest my book when lying down. I also sleep with one between my knees. There's no room for a man in my life, it's too full of pillows 😆

Oooh I like to shape two pillows as an upside down V and then place one at the point and another nestling in the middle of the V, which is where my head goes

@thebigaghast The L shape sounds like a game changer! Going to try that tomorrow night. (Such a good idea, but never thought of it myself).

I think we're going to need diagrams for some of these.

I always sleep on one side and never the middle. I don’t know why.

Not single but DP works nights a lot. Pillows piled up in the middle if reading/watching TV. Three pillows next to each other when sleeping. This way whichever way I turn, there’s always a beautiful cold pillow ready for me. I also have one of these massive pregnancy pillows, this is particularly good for reading. And I also have one of these special pillows for putting between the legs if sleeping on side to ease back/hip pain (I’ve hurt my back moving furniture…).
I LOVE having the bed to myself. I sleep so much better.

@PollyPutTheKettleOnKettleOn I might try that. Mine are quite chaotic.

I've got 2 regular pillows and 2 square. And a V shaped one. I love my pillows 😍

You can buy extra long pillows!

I have two plump pillows per each side of the bed. But when I sleep alone I remove them and just have one sad and flat (and very comfy) pillow. Like I'm some kind of spartan.

Often sleep alone as DP does shifts

We have SIX PILLOWS as I like at least 3 at any one time. When it’s just me I build a kind of nest in the middle of the bed and curl up in it surrounded by dogs and cats

When bed is made pillows are put into left/right sides with 1 flat and 2 on top of that propped against the headboard.

Well. When the bed is made, it's two pillows either side with a long one across both sides. When I go to sleep, the long one will be in bed on my side, so I can cudgel up to it, and two of the other pillows are at my side on the other side, in case I turn over in the night. One pillow under my head. The other... depends on my mood.

One man came to my bed, and asked in somewhat sceptical tones if I really slept on all those pillows, and I didn't want to explain how I arranged them in case I sounded totally mad. I didn't feel that he should have been questioning it anyway. He wasn't there to sleep, nor inspect the pillows.

I’ve never even entertained the idea of only having one (stack) of pillows in the middle when I had a double (and was single obviously). It would look ridiculous not have two sides in a king size.

I have two (different because I like to spice things up) memory foam pillows that are for actually sleeping on. I have two other pillows that float around the bed. Sometimes I like to fling my legs or arms over them…sometimes I like to sort of pile them on me…I’m a terrible sleeper so I’m always looking for some magic. 😂

My pillows are as normal and I always sleep on one side .

However I like!

Two pillows side by side and I tend to sleep on one side but use the other pillow as a rest (my elbow is resting on it now) so it is turned sideways. But when I get up I'll make them go side by side again.

Just tried this. Brilliant idea - so snuggly!

Two pillows side by side during the day, one pillow in the centre for sleeping (other one gets chucked on the floor)
