      Fun fact, some cultures don’t use pillows, and instead have carefully shaped head stands.

        I am fully aware

        I fear every person from any of those cultures. Those who sleep on hard surfaces are not to be trifled with, for they are stronger than all of us.

          I’ve heard it’s actually more comfortable in really hot conditions. If its metal, the whole thing can be a cold spot I guess.

          Anyway, I’d like to flex about all the rough sleeping I’ve done. It’s not usually braggable.

      I went hi tek with pillows and got nice memory foam pillows. Changed our backs’ lives, never going back!

        See memory foam is cool and all

        But my point is that even the simplest pillow consisting of a linen sack with some animal nonsense inside it is still an exponential improvement over not that, or worse, those wooden head-supports that they still use in some eastern cultures.

        Also: People use way too few pillows. I use five for the average night.

          right now there are eight on the bed, but two of them are those standing-up-sit-arms-pillows (I don’t know what they’re called) because my partner and I just got the VID.

          we used two head pillows each before we got memory foam, now we just need one head pillow and a knees pillow each to be comfy!
