FAKE NEWS. I'm a woman and don't have any.

I also do this. - A Dude
VizenFatale
Husband doesn't let me do that to our bed. It's an ongoing argument. He's winning. :(
popejubal
I don't understand the pillow thing, but it makes her happy, so it makes me happy too.
Higge
No no, we need the 48th that matches the one we bought earlier.
whatkindofdrugsarewetesting
Listen up bishes!The point of decorative pillows is that they look nice, inviting and cozy. The end.
sgtcoffman
But a bed already looks nice, inviting, and cozy. Unless that's just my engineering student eyes making it seem that way.
woodchucks
I'm living a genderflipped version of this. I hate decorative pillows, but the guy I'm dating has a huge pile of them.
SpankusJalopy
Oh, my wife has been very clear about her reasons. In no small part, to drive me crazy. Little does she know that I actually like it.
theyregooddogsbrant
I get that it looks nice and inviting but it is SO annoying!!
Calistrasza
All my pillows are functional. If it's not gonna be used, it's put in storage.
ImgurIsOutOfUsernames
How about "I need to clean the house because the cleaner is coming tomorrow"
DietCokeIsMyDrugOfChoice
Is it only a woman thing, though? I'm a woman & I freaking hate those things.
TroutYabo
It’s more that women are usually the driving force behind having them if they are on the bed.

Im a dude. I use decorative pillows. I like nice things. What can I say...? And the chicks dig it.
TheChelsanator
I hate decorative pillows. They're always hard and have itchy fabric. Keep that shit off my bed lol
YouThinkThatsBad
I dont know many women. As a gay man, almost all gay men I know with disposable income have the shit load of pillow thing. Im poor, I have 2
wiresnake
they're decorative pillows. they're no more practical than plants or art. it may not be your (or my) thing, but some people like the look.
ADisturbinglyAttractiveCactus
To be fair, I don't really like plants or art either.
HalTheMisinterpretivePornStar
ifukngluvmycat
In our house we use the decorative pillows to smack the dogs and cats off the bed.
Darkspire
That's very practical.
ifukngluvmycat
I can be depending upon how big a pillow it is and how far away the nightstand is.
Rezurektme
I mean, my dad has decorative pillows everywhere. Bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen ... it's not just women.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Are you 100% sure he doesn't have an alternative lifestyle that he expresses when he's left to his own devices?
Rezurektme
The last two were joke answers, so probably not. He just likes his home looking nice.
BillNyeTheNaziSpy
As a gay.... You know what, nevermind.

Used to throw pillows in my sleep as a kid, but rarely do it anymore. Be sleeping on one, just pick it up and throw it off mid snooze.
MarkoTolo
Aesthetics. That’s it. You may not agree with it or like it, but it’s not an incomprehensible concept.

NerdyBird92
As a woman, neither will i. Why have uncomfortable pillows? Now if a bed is covered in comfy pillows that's a different story.
ThngsnStuf
It’s because vagina feels good. She wants the pillows she can put them on the bed.
SarcasticComment
Which is why I yell my wife, "do what makes you happy, but I fail to see the point in this". She tells me the same for some of my interests.
SarcasticComment
AS IF our home is not better for being able to steam milk for coffee, Laura!
ThngsnStuf
I literally loled, I say the same exact thing.
DorMin2
I think it's her reason for wanting the pillows that isn't being understood, not the guy's reason for putting up with them.
LeftHandPanda
This is how I feel about the Frankie McDonald guy who posts here.
shuttlecockinakumquat
Same
bongles
What's to get? He posts weather videos (and other things) on YouTube, then comes on here from time to time to post pictures
Babskies
Frankie is an Atlantic Canadian treasure! All we have is him and the Trailer Park Boys. But I agree, not a huge fan of his weather reports.
0verand0ver
He’s a weather guy
legitchrispratt
This explains nothing
0verand0ver
It’s a hobby for him and he has lots of support online. He’s obviously not a pro but I think you’re just trying to be a jerk so why explain
legitchrispratt
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I don't really care to understand the phenomenon either, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
LadyWidebottom
I leave them on the bed for extra comfort. Never know when you'll need an extra pillow.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Like a nest?
LadyWidebottom
Yes. Just like that. I have pillows down the side of the bed like a wall, too.
ChoochyMcGee
Same my decorative pillows are excellent for inbetween the knees cushioning when I sleep on my side.
ChoochyMcGee
And I toss and turn a lot, so when I do a 180 and end up with head at foot of bed, I already have a decorative pillow thrown there.
LadyWidebottom
My kids do that, so that's the other reason why we have plenty of pillows available.
sarabearr
I’ll never understand the purpose of decorative pillows.
LieselSkywalker
decoration
goatamon
You may be onto something here...
ADisturbinglyAttractiveCactus
I'll never understand the purpose of decoration. Seriously.
HandsomeSwede
Just as good food pleases your tastebuds and music pleases your ears, so can decoration please your eyes. Weird sentence, but there you go
ADisturbinglyAttractiveCactus
Music doesn't please my ears and I lost most of my sense of smell (and thus taste) when I was 12. *shrug*
HandsomeSwede
Sure, but you get the sentiment, no? I would assume so, given that you uploaded pictures of meat despite losing your sense of taste.
rijstewafels
Question: is this an American only problem?
justlurkinfornow
Yes
Elsuave
In Uruguay we have 10 pillows total. We share.
ScumbagRob
Suffer this in Ireland..
JustARandomDutchGuy
Mwah, My mum also put some useless pillows in the couch. They do nothing, and are moved around constantly, but somehow can't go
AlrightKeepYourSecrets
Canada too at least
sarabearr
I’d say so. I don’t know a single person where I’m from who has them
perey
Then ask the people in relationships.
sarabearr
therenee
Apparently in England it is too https://youtu.be/Lp0-8Ibkczc

I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's a problem, but it's a thing in Sweden as well.

"But they do it in the movies" Okay tonights movie is Schindlers List.

Yes because America does everything

Argentinian here, we have this problem too. My girlfriend has 18 pillows and counting.

Replace them with alfajores.
uberarticuno
Nah I know people like this in England.
WellThatsOriginal
Unlikely. Women are women. Unless they're not.
sarabearr
Literally the only women I’ve come across who’ve used decorative pillows have been American.
UncleBuckFutter
No, I think pretty much every country on Earth suffers from having women
dontsayretarded0itsgay
I'd say it's a net positive

SkypeOfCthulhu
Insanity? No it is not. I have shared a home with someone who decided we needed candles not meant for burning and towels not for drying with
YourBiologicalFatherWhoIsProud
Wait... why have those things then?
TemporarySelf
Can confirm a problem also in Australia. But the pillows are upside down.
rijstewafels
Of course
Darkjynxer
Do you have to tie them to the bed, or do they come with Velcro?
Sneemaster
They tie them down with spiders and snakes. And they make them out of Koala fur. What else?
Darkjynxer
What about the dropbears?
perey
You can tie them to the bed if you like. It won't stop them buying decorative pillows.
jmpaten
Now things are getting kinky, yes?
Darkjynxer
My favorite.
MyNamelsMrSnrub
Nope, I've just finished "remaking the bed" a process that involves making the bed, then piling 9 decorative pillows and 6 teddies on. (UK)
rijstewafels
I'm so sorry
MyNamelsMrSnrub
God have mercy if she gets home and those pillows and teddies aren't made the way they're supposed to be...
PretendThisIsACleverUsername
Ok I googled "teddy bears having sex" hoping to find a funny picture for you and now I need some bleach for my eyes
SkypeOfCthulhu
Oh how cute. On of them have a strap-on, and it is inside a not-so-teddy bear
MyNamelsMrSnrub
I will not be making the same mistake you made, however I appreciate the effort made
goatamon
Finn here. It's a problem here too, although not as much as in the states. For the record, I blame Americans for this. Thanks a lot.

Yeah thanks a lot Obama!

THANK YOU!
VodkaReindeer
How do you feel about decorative pockets?
APenguinInATuxedo
Fuck those deceptive fuckers
ilovecake
Yup, fellow lady here and I even think making the bed every morning is pointless. Only people who see the bed are me & my partner.
Typohime
If I bother making my bed the dog just unmakes it for me anyways about 5 minutes later. He enjoys a cozy.
Ripraptor
I honestly can't sleep in an unmade bed. The sheets have to be flat on top and below me, or else it feels weird.
ilovecake
I like the squish of things, but I don’t like a jank fitted sheet. That has to be in place.
TedTheMan
Does a made bed make you happy?
ilovecake
Nope. Means it takes longer to get into bed.
TedTheMan
Then you would get no reward for making it. Not even personal satisfaction. Smart choice.
SavageMaiden
Sometimes a rug makes me more happy.
TedTheMan
Burito style...
DrKriegersClone
Also if you sweat in the sheets, it's more hygienic to let them air out and dry during the day anyway
ChronicD
Fun fact: ALL used beds have colonies of the tiny beasts that live with us humans. Airing bedding helps keep them in check.
ilovecake
See? Look at that...I’m lazy AND hygienic!

I've never understood other women's fascination for decorative pillows. Pillows only need to be comfortable and practical.

Eldslibo
Yeah, I have to fight them off with a stick.
Dragongirl7256
Only one I have is one of those sequin color change ones cuz they're fun to play with
Pixel8yt
As a man I have over 50 pillows on my bed for emergency pillow forts
openthedoorgetontheflooreverybodywalkthedinosaur
I mean, I have a queen size bed all to myself, so yeah it's a fairy queens bower full of pillows and animals and flower garlands.
scottjaeger
how do you feel about the soap no one's allowed to use?
Eldslibo
If it's not for use it's just stupid. I mean, I get decorative stuff, but if it has a function but you're not allowed... what's the point?
sarahPumpkinPoster
I mean i still have 5-7 pillows on the bed, I like to swap pillows mid sleep for that cool pillow feel or when I switch positions.
CR0SS0
I'm sorry... MILLIONAIRE..!
Xenarion
Why not both at the same time?

EffeminateGuysTurnMeOn
I'm guilty. I have about 15 pillows and 12 blankets.
ZedaZ80
Wife and I have like three decorative pillows. The other 44 are functional, but only ~10 stay on the bed at night.
HonestCommentFarmer
"The other 34 are used for our nightly pillow fort."
Idontlikemyusernamesoimchangingit
Woman here as well - we have one pillow on our bed. It's my husband's. I've been pillowless for 2 years and my neck has never felt better.

d3jake
Don't let me blow your mind, but I learned that there are candles whose lot in life are to be decorative, and *never* lit.
textilelover
That's just silly. Fire is awesome.
Ishouldhavecalledinsicktoday
I have them! They're soft and smooshy so we sleep with all of them. When do the crossover from decorative to fancy sleep pillow?

We've got ones that do both. They look nice when no one is on the couch. They're comfy behind your back or under your feet when you sit.
FragileReality
But I never throw them on the floor!
SomeDetroitGuy
OH, we do - if we're sitting on the floor. They're good butt pillows, too.

I like for my house to look like a magazine so I have tons of pillows... I know it's dumb, but I like it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But...but what if the magazine didn't have pillows?

If that became a trend then I would follow it. I'm not ashamed to admit that even though I know it sounds ridiculous. haha

I assume it's about portraying a certain appearance to anyone who pokes their head in.Like a "you never know when we'll have company" thing.
dmax12
Is this like having the living room your kids are only allowed in when there are guests? THERE ARE BETTER SOLUTIONS!
JustSomeHoneybadger
Woman here, no one is ever going into our bedroom, so it's the only room that is not decorated or scrubbed when we get visitors.
dmax12
People downvoted this? WTF. in my panic cleaning, my bedroom gets locked.
JustSomeHoneybadger
All my comments seems to be initially downvoted somehow, I don't mind really. Yea bedroom is part storage room so no access there.
sadbitterkitten
form and function - they can be decorative, but must also have a usefulness and comfort
dmax12
THIS, if it doesn't have function, but looks nice, its a waste of time. You can have both.

I’ve never even understood making the bed every morning let alone throw pillows.
CR0SS0
Actually increases the chances of dust mites in your bed by making it...
foofypoops
In case someone breaks in while you're at work, they won't think you're a slob.
HandsomeSwede
Some people, myself included, like their homes to be tidy and clean. I used to love a messy room, now I hate it!
Misora
Because I know my dog is going to roll all over my bed the moment I turn my back and I don't want to sleep against dog hair and dirt.
1metalnation
Making your bed is a way of developing consistency and control. If you have a shit day. At least youbcome home to a well made bed
Vblink
But I don't like when the bed is made. I have to untuck the sheets before I lay down. If not made I just jump in and pull them over me.
damandatwin
I'd rather like make sure the dishes are done every day or something. That seems like a waste of time
Inappropriator
Just make sure to not to cover the mattress completely. It helps the mites to survive even better.
BrisketSandwich24
I've never understand wiping my ass after I shit either. I mean, I'm just gonna poop again.
SlothOfDanger
I get the analogy but it's a matter of hygiene and tidiness. Like which is worse, dropped a chip crumb on the floor. Or snot is dry on face.

Woman here. There's not a single decorative cushion in this house. There's a couple to put over your feet when it's chilly. But that's it.

Same here. We have a couple of pillows in the bed (all being used) two for visitors and the cushions in the sofa. There's no need for more.

Yes, of course, I've heard of socks. But it's also nice when you have a cold house to have a little weighty warmth on your feet.
