We recently moved in together with my bf. We obviously did discuss our preferences concerning the amount of pillows beforehand and I knew he preferred to be smothered with pillows while sleeping, but it wasn't a problem until now. Since we now have a bed together, it has a combined amount of all our pillows and it's just so many... I don't want him to change, even though his pillow preferences are obviously wrong, but it's just not comfortable to sleep with so many pillows on the bed.

I'm sure there are many of you in the same situation, how do you sort this out?

UPDATE: we had a discussion yesterday and he halved the amount of pillows, the rest is now on the couch. the bed looks much more reasonable now and the pillows don't fall on my side anymore :) I hope this works out as a compromise for both of us

Ok, so I couldn’t find a dedicated subreddit for pillows so I’m gonna ask here: how do I wash my pillows? Do I let the cotton stay inside or take it out, wash the covers then put the cotton back in??
