>I imagibne this would give one a terrible crick in the neck. Personally, I prefer my pillows such that my neck is at right-angles to my shoulders. Is this an American thing or just on shows? If the latter, why do they do it? I find it bizarre.

Two pillows for me while reading/watching TV, but I push one out of the way to sleep. Foam, not feather, because form holds its shape.


>Still on the subject of bed-linen, do you guys still use sheets, blankets, and bedspreads, rather than just a duvet? What a pallaver! That Charlene Whats-her-name, who used to be "the Poison Dwarf" in "Dallas", was on a UK reality TV show where she marvelled at sleeping under a duvet for the first time.

In my house, we have sheets, blankets and comforters. The comforters stay on the beds most of the time (unlike a bedspread) and serve as the extra blanket in winter.

I'm also from the "why bother to make the bed every morning" school of thought. <g> But when I do bother, it doesn't take long.
