Introduction

Have you ever wondered how many pillows you should have on your bed? Well, the truth is, there's no definitive answer. It all comes down to personal preference. Some people prefer having a plethora of pillows, while others opt for a minimalistic approach. In this article, we'll explore the different options and help you find the perfect number of pillows for your bed.

Finding Your Comfort Zone

When it comes to pillows, there are a few things to consider. Firstly, decorative pillows can enhance the overall aesthetics of your bedroom. They add a touch of elegance and style. Secondly, multiple sleeping pillows can provide extra comfort and support. And lastly, the size of the pillowcases matters. Pillowcases are available in standard/queen and king sizes, so make sure to choose the ones that fit your pillows perfectly.

Recommendations for Different Bed Sizes

Let's break it down according to different bed sizes:

Full or Queen Size Bed

For a full or queen size bed, it is generally recommended to have two pillows. However, most people prefer having extra pillows. If you want to achieve a nice layered look, placing four sleeping pillows across a queen bed can do the trick. On the other hand, if you go for king size pillows, keep in mind that they might be a bit too long and difficult to maneuver while sleeping. A standard pillow, which is 26" long, is often a more practical choice.

King Size Bed

If you have a king size bed, two king-size pillows will fit nicely across the bed. Alternatively, you can use three standard pillows to fill out the width of the bed. For a more glamorous look with two rows of pillows, you can go for six standard pillows.

Decorative Pillows

Now, let's talk about decorative pillows. Here are our suggestions:

Euro Shams

If you own a queen or full-size bed, two Euro shams placed side by side can fill out the bed's entire width while adding an elegant look. Euro shams also provide a comfortable backrest for activities like watching television or reading in bed. For an even fuller look, three Euro shams slightly overlapping each other can be a great option. You can even choose a different color or fabric for the center sham. On a king or California king bed, three or four Euro shams can create that luxurious feel.

Standard and King Pillow Shams

Both standard and king shams serve as a beautiful decorative row of pillows. Most shams are also suitable for sleeping on. For a full or queen bed, two standard shams work best, while a king bed typically features two king shams.
