The Problem with Pillows

Pillows have become a problem for me, and I'd like your input. How do you place them on your bed?

Perhaps, I should first ask IF you make your bed.  Each day? For company only? After all, Oprah taught America all about those yucky bed mites that thrive in our neatly made beds, feasting on our warm sheets. "Air your beds," became the cry of housewives all across the land. Even though I am not a fan of her show, I took that advice to heart! That allowed me months and months of never having to make my bed. No mites for me and mine! Hey, there's a reason why I'm smiling!

Now as I think of redecorating, I am wondering what you do. Are you one of those who love pillows? What do you do with them? Do you hide the pillow you sleep on under other pillows with neatly ironed pillow cases like this? Or do the wrinkles show? Do you turn the open ends of the pillowcase to the middle of the bed or to the outside?



Do you use this many pillows? Where do they go when it's time for you to sleep? Is that the main function of the chest?




How long does it take to make a bed look like this? Would you ever be tired enough to lie down during the day? Would you then need to remake it? How long does it take to iron all of this?



Does your bed have so many pillows that there is no room for regular sized people?




Is there anyone out there in Blogland who actually uses the little roll pillow?



How about placement? Should a properly made bed have one flopped pillow?


Should the pillows (or shams) in the back touch or be separated like these?


Why are the comforters turned down? Do you sleep under it? Ever get hot?



Where do your pillows spend the night? On a chair? Do they fall off? Do they get tossed on the floor?



If pillows are not your problem, but you wonder why you are so extra hungry each and every night as you prepare to go to sleep, perhaps it's because your bed looks like this one:


And, while I'm at it, why do motels all put that silly strip of fabric across the end of the bed? (I always shove it in the closet!)
