I have a pillow from Tempur (hard when cold, very soft when warm).
Upside: Pretty thick. About 8-12cm
One and it's got to be pretty flat. Pillows in hotel rooms are so puffy, I can never sleep properly.
1? Why do you need more?
Wait, you guys have more than one pillow?
One thick memory foam one. It was expensive but it doesn't lose fluffyness and it fixed my neck problems.

According to science, anywhere from 1 to 0
Two. One classic one and a specific rectangular neck position pillow. I had used only one pillow for years until i met one of my ex. She had around 7 pillows around her bed and used them aplenty, almost as she never wanted to touch the actual bed surface with her head.
One, anything else is pure decadence (unless you have a neck issue or something).
Two pillows. Two duvets.
I use one pillow that was sold as travel size, but I prefer it over a thick pillow.
I use 4-5 because I have acid reflux ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Ditto :o
You're now the proud owner of a broken neck! How does it feel?
you don't need multiple pillows you need one that has the right thickness
I don't have the luxury of buying one pillow each month, thank you very much.
One, and zero when sleeping on my stomach.
None, I sleep on my elbow.
Smart. Cost effective.
One buckwheat pillow. They're sort of adjustable. I'm a side/stomach sleeper.

Just the 1 for me. I've got a Simba memory foam cube pillow. It's expensive at ยฃ100 (ish) but easily the best thing I've ever slept on. Like sinking into a perfectly supportive cloud. They have an inner bag filled with loads of 1cm memory foam cubes and a good outer case so you don't feel individual cubes. Super comfy.
0-1 I like it flat.
Everything is better flat
Do you sleep on your stomach?
side or stomach, but it just is more straight with the spine, making it more comfortable.
Yeah. I also sleep on my stomach with just a tiny piece of the corner of a pillow
One, that's the kind of thin you get from it being cheap and way past the point you're supposed to throw it out. Perfection.
Three, but they are staggered in a way to make the perfect angles for my head. I have a thick one that's almost vertical with just a little bit sticking out at the bottom for the next pillow (a thin one) to lean onto. Then another thin pillow staggered on that one.
I'm technically only using two pillows of you cooking what my head is over. But the first one allows the second too for that perfect angle for me.
I also sleep with a carefully crafted nest of pillows. 3 king size and a body pillow, arranged to automatically mold me into my half stomach, half side "army crawl" sleeping position.
One
One ikea shark pillow
May the blรฅhaj be with you always!
Two, both are quite firm
