How Many Pillows?

wilma — Mon, 24 May 2021 18:36:33 GMT

How many sofa pillows do you like?

I'm seeing lots of pictures of sofas with so many pillows there's no place to sit! I like 2 - 4 pillows on my sofas. Usually I have a mix of solid color pillows and coordinating prints.

Here are a few pictures of pillows on sofas. None of these are my home. What do you think? Feel free to add pictures from your home or those you like.

My favorite. Not too many pillows. Love the dog!

Although I like the pillows themselves 6 is too many for me. I'd remove 3 or 4 of them.

I don't like the printed pillows here. I'd keep the pink one, get rid of the rest, and add one or two more I like better.

Too much print mixing for me. I prefer prints mixed with solids. I like the 2 orange print pillows best. I don't care for the others.

None of these pillows appeal to me.

We have two pillows on our couches, one on each end. We have three decorator pillows on our bed. I like a few pillows, but not over the top.

I also hate a lot of pillows on the bed. What's the purpose and where do they all go when you sleep? On the floor?

I love the teal color pillows with the neutral sofa, but again, too many. There's very little room to sit.

@kaydee50

Maybe people put them on their guest bed when they sleep? Or up on a closet shelf? My DH hates extra decorative pillows on sofas or beds so we only have a few here and there in our home.

I'm a "lot of pillows" person - both on chairs and couch and on the bed. I also like a lot of throws and afghans scattered around on chairs and couch. Basically, I just like a lot of stuff around!

Double bed - four pillows.

I'm in need of more livng room pillows - I had to dispose of a few that got lumpy. I used to buy them at Pier 1 - brightly colored. Next time I'm over near BB& Beyond - I'll get some new ones.

@wilma Of course, I have to pick the first one because it has my favorite breed lying on it.....even the same color as mine was! Only mine had golden brown eyes. I like 3 pillows on one end with a sofa throw on the other end. Right now I have 4 as I was sent one by accident. Don't know that I will keep the 4th.

I have 5 pillows on each of my sofas, and 8 on my bed! For the sofas, the pillows are mostly just decorative, and we toss them to the side when we sit down. I just like the look and it takes only a few seconds to arrange the pillows when we're not sitting there. As for the ones on my bed, 3 are decorative, and go onto a chair when we go to bed. We use the other 5 (I like 2 and my DH likes 3). I guess we're pillow people!

Being overweight, I love it when people have pillows on their couches. I always pull one and put it in my lap to try and hide my bodaciousness. It makes me feel more comfortable. Some people like to put them behind them also in the small of their back.

No pillows at all, ever, for me.

But I will take the dog 🦮

Too many on these pictures

I have four on my sofa and they're huge. My sofa is rarely used so when somebody sits on it at either end, they (I) have to removed two pillows.

I love pillows, but am not crazy with them. We do have 4 on our couch, and 3 on our bed....When we go to bed at night, we just toss them on the chair, and as for the couch, if when sitting on it just push them aside for more comfort.....I love the look of them!

Re: How Many Pillows?

CANDLEQUEEN — Mon, 24 May 2021 20:05:15 GMT

I like the 1st pic and the 2nd, but the 2nd has maybe 2 more pillow on it than I would want.......

Zero pillows on my couch! 6 came with the couch and loveseat; I hate decorative pillows, and have never used them. They are stored in space saver bags and will see daylight again when I buy new furniture and get rid of the current stuff.

Only 2 pillows on my bed, for sleeping purposes; no extra pillows ever. I am not a fan of pillows.

None of these mixtures does anything for me. As for how many, it depends on the sofa and the pillows. On my living room couch, I can go anywhere from three up to eight, depending on the look I'm seeking.

The only one you can sit on is the 1st photo. The others are ridiculous. When you have guests and there are so many pillows on the soda you cannot sit comfortably and you need to remove the pillows. I have two pillows on the sofa at one end.

I have three pillows on my sofa, one on each end and one in the middle. When Fall comes I put Halloween pillows out and I do the same when Christmas season arrives, Christmas related pillows. But for the most part I just just put out the two or three pillows.

Not having decorator pillows is similar to not having a coffee table! I could not do it.

I have 3 pillows of various sizes on my sofa with a linen throw on one end. He has 2 pillows on his sofa with a big fluffy chinchilla throw.

On our bed we have 8 pillows--2 king and two standard that we sleep on and 4 decorator pillows that are removed before retiring.
