>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.

I like a good, firm "Dunlopillo" as the base, with a feather for moulding to the head. A cushion with 2 tennis balls in a sock for mastoid support is what I use for reading or TV - also relieves any neck tension - I'd highly recommend it.

>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.

We don't have that expression - comforter - some sort of bedspread? Ever tried a duvet? Difficult to go back afterwards. As I say, the vast maj. of Brits have duvets. And they've been around since the 7os.

>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.

As I said, just duff up your duvet and the bed's made.
