Another thing in large numbers. Cleaning out my in assisted living Mother's house, I removed and packed up 70+ plates hanging on the walls. Mom is 99

Can I understand this phenomenon, or should I just keep on nodding my head and moving a pillow out of the way?

To quote Dean Martin in Cannonball Run II, "Can I see a wine list."

Pillows are the most uncomfortable backrest for a couch.

At least SOME of the pillows have use or, can be used. One of my more serious g/f in the past had an....assortment of wicker baskets of all sizes and variety. After we moved-in together I lost count after 27, I'm sure it got to 35+, gave her grief about it twice and I got the message.

We broke up a year later.

Once the bottom of that shirt is stretched out, gonna need a new one?
See?

I have no idea how many shoes, and I ain't askin'

Perfect! Sooo, what the hell is up w/ all those pillows then?

Honestly, I didn't know about the pillows until way after we moved in together. As in years after.

And the agreement was between her shoes / purses and my guns / gun stuff. I think she may have gotten ahead of me on this one... She is a pretty smart woman.

Does not matter pillows, shoes, purses or whatever.
Yes dear it looks wonderful! :

I haven't counted the living room, but I'm in the bedroom now. There are 5 regular pillows and one double-sized pillow on the bed. Sometimes there are more. After she's asleep, I throw a couple on the floor to make room.

Not the hill to die on.. pick a different battle

I don't get the appeal of pillows either, but I guess it's really a thing. When I started shopping for a new house about 16 months ago, I was planning to move out of state so I did most of it online. I learned that when they take the pictures of a house for the realty sites, they bring in all the furniture, nik-naks etc. from a warehouse. It's not the way the current/previous owner had the house arranged. Then it all gets moved out again after the photo session is over. In most of them there were a shit ton of throw pillows on all the sofas and beds. I mean to the point that there wasn't room to actually sit or lie on them. I don't get it.

Can’t help you with this. I sleep with 4 pillows and I’ll nest in a pile like a big fat ferret.

Jim Gaffigan has a whole bit on women and their pillows

...why have 27 pillows?
I'm not going to mention that I found a big container with 4 more pillows in it.
I'm not counting the 2 dog beds as pillows.

Seems to me the solution is to have 27 guns...and another dog.

I just counted and we also have 27. As an aside, we say “pillas” down here.

I just counted. Excluding bed pillows there are three: Two large pillows on our bed we use to prop ourselves up a bit for reading in bed and one on the end of the couch in the family room.

That's it: Three.

I'm pretty sure there used to be more, but, I think my wife has been getting rid of them because she's largely come to regard them as no more than dust and pet hair magnets.

You will never understand.

This is Sleep's girlfriend with my first and after this maybe my last post, but I know the answer ~ It's all about Love Making ~ you know SEX!!!

Having a pillow under my tush during sex is a whole lot better for me in both comfort and sensation.

If I were you, I'd make sure pillows are handy in every room you want to make love to your wife!!!

Next you should try counting the ratio of his/her items in shower. Exclude common use items if there are any. In my case that may or may not include "soap" since that bar is just for me. She has something more complicated for the complex task of washing your body.

Last I did this it was 3:15 or something like that. Including my soap.
{dammit, Th morning is going to involve some counting now....}
