As a rule these pillows are never comfortable, overly expensive, and you can’t make forts out of them.

Forts per pillow is a very important and often neglected stat
It's the fort that counts.
I was up at an Airbnb in Boston years ago and I still very much remember one entire third of the bed I was given being covered in different throw pillows. It was bad enough to actually be funny, and more intrusive irl than the photo I had to take would have you believe. Where the photo cuts off is the edge of the mattress.
I had to move them every night in order to go to sleep, and put them back every morning when I made the bed. I counted. There were sixteen of them. Everyone else's beds were the same way.
A good time to buy cushion manufacturing stocks!
(that's a lot of cushions!)
Why did you put them back??
How do you just make the bed with no pillows
You take the pillows that you actually use and put them on. The rest of them go in the cupboard, or hell, just on the floor.
I don't see the point in cushions, the sofa's got a backrest for a reason and they're always way too hard to. Same goes for butt cushions on dining chairs, 10/10 times I take them off.
When I was in group, some ladies used the pillows because the back was a bit "too" far back otherwise if they did go all the way back then their feet wouldn't touch the ground.
Makes sense. I have long legs so I need to remove the pillows or they're in my way.
It's fight club 2.0
If they are not allowed to question the fabric of their culture, their mind finds another way to compensate.
This is my mom. So many damn pillows on the couch that you can't sit on it.
It's not a damn pillow display!
It's not a damn pillow display!
Sounds like it is.
She clearly thinks it is
At least you're allowed to try and sit on the sofa.
Only on sunday, when there's special visitors over. The rest of the time we sit on plastic chairs in the room next to the kitchen.
That's how some of my relatives do it. Even when we were over we were sitting in the plastic chairs. I don't get why they would live like this.
My hatred of throw pillows is so extreme that it borders on psychotic.
“They don’t serve any purpose besides getting in your way! What if you want to sit on the couch, but there’s already someone else on it? You can’t just put the throw pillow in their lap. You can’t toss it on the floor, either. That’s rude. I HATE THEM SO MUCH.” 🔪 🪶🪶🪶
I'm with you. Fuck you and your decorative pillows and towels!
Neither of you have heard of Decorative Soap it seems
I have. Sometimes, if I’m forced to attend an event at the house of someone I don’t like, I’ll wash my hands with it out of spite.
I applaud your spite motivation, Sir
I thought they are called "throw pillows" because you're suppose to throw them at your family and friends when they annoy you and you are too lazy to get off the couch.
Am I not doing it right?
Beautiful
But in Chinese, these are call "hug pillows".
Cute.
I clicked the thumbnail fully expecting a third row where you could no longer see the couch behind cushions. 😞
You can emulate this yourself by zooming into a portion of the second photo which renders you unable to see the couch, if you like.
couches are but another victim to the interior decorator’s aversion to uncluttered flat surfaces
You guys are crazy. I don't really do decorative pillows but I will not abide a sofa in my house that isn't covered with soft comfy things to burrow under
my couch is barren and made of rock, any comfort must come from within
True stoic right here.
That's either amazing for your back or crippling there is no inbetween lol
Couch tumors.
Two are enough but a lot people buy stuff like compulsive.
Underrated comment.
Then there's me sitting here with one lonely white pillow on my bed cause I lost the other one.
How do you lose a pillow? It's not a pen or contact lens - it's a pretty bulky thing that generally stays in one area.
It doesn't stay in one area when you move houses
Omg! When did my wife join Lemmy?!
My sofa isn't so bad but I have 14 pillows on my bed. It's out of control.
Me but with squishmallows
Unfortunately I only have one currently
Haha, perfect.
wife used to carpet the vinyl kitchen floor with rugs. robovac would arrange them in a circle and get stuck in the middle. I rolled them up and put them on a shelf in the garage.
Or.. You just get rug anchors oooorrrrr pick them up before the vacuum goes off? Is it some kinda flex to put away decorations your wife liked or something I'm a little confused.
Tbf carpet in the kitchen is pretty gross. Grease and shit.
I just get machine washable rugs and toss them in every couple of days or so. I wouldn't want full carpet but rugs are nice in places like in front of the fridge. A little soft spot for jars to land if they slip or get dropped 🤷♀️
I have this like, puffy silicone(?) thingy, meant for the same thing but is nonporous and much less gross.
yeah I made that shit up to flex, okay
